Deathblade's "Go on, do your duty" edges

Okay,

Swords: Draw. I agree with what you said that the swords are the exact same and while Hilmes is more skilled, it doesn't make much of a difference.

Polearms: Stannis. While I like spears a fair bit, I have to go for the Lochaber Axe here. It's greater length and versatility makes it a better weapon. While the spear is definitely lighter, the fact of the matter is: you're only limited to thrusts and pierces with it, while you are not with the Lochabar axe.

Lances: Draw. See the Swords comparison for further details.

Bows: Stannis. Oh this is really easy. While the Composite Bow has greater rate of fire and stopping power due to its design, the longbow has a longer range and, if it's similar to its real world equivalent, can fire armour piercing Bodkin tips for greater damage.

Crossbows: Stannis. An antiquated design of early crossbow vs a 'modern' design of crossbow? Stannis and his army have the more modern designed crossbow and the better accuracy and quicker reload of their weapon means I'd back the more modern designed weapon.

Sorcerers: Draw. They both have their own powers and abilities and have helped their allies through their rise to power, and in the case of Stannis, to their destruction.

Winner: Stannis. I don't like him but Stannis of the House Baratheon, the first of his name, king of the Andals and the First Men and Protector of the Realm (Jeez, reckon they could do without all the titles?), is the victor. His more versatile weapons and equipment will allow him to dominate this battle easily. Sure he had a few mishaps at Winterfell and Blackwater Bay but he's a much more seasoned commander and that's what I think matters here the most.

My Predictions:

Stannis Barratheon: 2300

Hilmes: 700
