Let's see shall we

Close Range

The Szabla is desgined to be used on horseback and it's lighter and more compact size make it quicker to swing which is essential when fighting against an opponent on horseback. The Broadsword is harder to use on horseback due to it's larger size but it does have one important advantage over the Szabla. The Broadsword is desgined as a hacking and chopping weapon which makes it better suited to dealing with a heavily armoured opponent hence why it saw great use in european combat. The Szabla on the other hand is much less effective against the chainmail the Norman is wearing due to its slashing and slicing attacks and this could make the difference in life or death duel.

Edge: Norman
