Elgb's "THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!" EDGES!!!

Well folks, its me your old pal Elgb, submitting a list of battles I deemed worthy of this year's awards. While I sadly couldn't vote on more than half of them, I have seen and read them, and all I can say is: "They're all frigging awesome! Congrats guys!"

Ancient:


 * Ancient Real Life Grail War by English Stronk- Yeah this battle's already been nominated but I just have to put my opinions on it. Leo and Wass did more than outstanding work with their multiple men battles which is not that easy. Wass has to balance out each real life warriors in this fight, and he made one hell of a great battle with them. Hell I would galdly nominate this battle not just once in my comment. Besides his ERB style battle last year, Wass is currenly a powerhouse when it comes to writing battles in this wiki. 15/10


 * Spartacus vs Ali ibn Muhammed by Spartan119 - There's no way I am going to submit my nominations without even mentioning a single Spartan battle. FOr me, what makes a battle interesting most of the time is pitting warriors that have the same characteristics/motives but from different eras or places. Spartacus vs Ali is a prime example of this. The premise alone will draw any history buffs i to put their input. And the resulting battle is your classic Spartan-style slugfest, short and bitsize but awesome nonetheless. 8/10


 * Deadliest Warrior Rematch: Comanche vs Mongol by English Stronk - Wassboss gets another nom again! This is the battle that finally gave the Comanche and Wass did well in making a far better loadout and simulation that Deadliest Warrior. I had a blast voting on this one and the resulting battle just has that satisfying length but full-on adrenaline rush battle. And hell, he didn't even had to use dialogue to make it awesome! 8/10

Modern


 * Waffen SS vs Viet Cong by El Almadrillo - Okay I admit I am vehemently pissed that EA ended the battle in a friggin tie, and I wish I could have voted to break it. But still, the battle was very well written, offering EA's unbeatable knowledge on each warrior and how he beautifully organized the information presented. I don't know if he actually made those video clips, but boi were they unique. 9.5/10


 * DW Rematch : Lawrence of Arabia vs. Theodore Roosevelt by Battlefan - Whoo-weee! Yep I am nominating another very well written DW rematch here. While it ain't as beautiful as EA's match-up, and there were some infos that I disagreed with, it was still a well-written battle. And the results did not fail! I love how it was presented like a sports game; it certainly made it special from your typical 5 vs 5 DW style battle. 9/10


 * Failed Horseback Rebellions! Sepoy Mutineers vs. Confederate Bushwhackers by Han Solo - Okay, this ain't as well-written as the previous two DW rematches I nomianted, but it was a pretty interesting concept I give it that. It was your classic rebel vs rebel match-up, and I really love the idea of pitting two of the most iconic 19th century revolutionists in a fight. 9/10
