119's "Damn, I Forgot My Winchester!" Edges

Close Range: OK, this one is not as simple as it seems. The knife is a bladed weapon, and more likely to cause a fatal wound in one strike, but the club is more useful on horseback, while the knife is practically useless on horseback. For this reason, I'll call this Even.

Mid-Range: Not sure what the historical accuracy of the European-style sword in the hands of a Mongol would be, but in any case, a steel sword beats a relatively short stone spear. Edge: Yesugei.

Long Range: The Native bow has a lower draw weight, meaning it has less stopping power, while the composite bow has a higher draw weight, meaning more force on impact. Edge: Yesugei

Special: The Tomahawk is a deadly melee weapon, but the Eagle, while not deadly on its own, can act as a disabling distraction by clawing at the eyes etc, allowing an easier kill. Edge: Yesugei

X-Factors: Crazy Horse takes leadership, and may have a bit more experience, but with Crazy Horse restricted to traditional Native American weapons, his metallurgy and armor scores suffer.

Overall Winner: Yesugei takes this victory mainly because Crazy Horse conveniently forgot to bring his Winchester to the battle. Crazy Horse and his Lakota were known for effectively using traded or captured firearms, including Winchester Repeating Rifles, actually outgunning US Cavalry armed with single shot carbines. Without these weapons, what you have left, is essentially stone vs steel, and in this case, steel definitely wins.
