Bulls' "From Russia With Love" Edges!

Close: I choose the Longsword becasue it has the longer blade and thuse offers the bigger reach. Its weight can also be an advantage in giving it more slicig and blunt force. Edge: Richard

Mid: Even thought the Rogatina has the longer reach, the billhook offers a stab, slice, and a hook. And its also good against cavalry. Edge: Richard

Long: Although the Composite bow has the faster rate of fire and reloading. The crossbow is more accurate and has the longer range. Not to mention it can penetrate armor far easily. Edge: Richard

Special: I gotta go with the battle axe becasue it has the longer reach and the bigger diameter of the axe. Edge: Richard (again?)

Sheilds: Although the Knight's shield can be used better in melee than the Kite, I choose the Kite becasue it gives more surface protection. Edge: Alexander

Armor: Chainmails are and always will, be weak against piercing weapons. but Alexander's armor has plates against percing weapons. Making his armor far more superior. Edge: Alexander

Helmets: In all of the headgear, the enclosed helemt is superior because it protects almost all of the head. Edge: Richard

Xfactors: If this was a one one fight, Richard might have won becasue of his physicality and brutality, but becasue this is a squad on squad Alexander's cunning and tactics gives him the edge. Edge: Alexander

Winner: Alexander. Even though Richard takes more of the weapons category and the xfactors, I believe Alexander is the deadlier warrior because he has the tactics and the smarts. Dont get e wrong Richard is an amazing tactician during the crusades, but overall he failed to conquer the Jerusalem which his warriors have died for. Richard actually was killed in battle with a crossbow. While Alexander on the other hand have more victories and actually conquered much more than Richard.
