Amazing job for your first battle! Though I would highly reccomend not using polls for voting on your battle. Polls are easy to sockpuppet with and are just lazy, needing no reason at all.

Now, onto edges....

Short range-The longsword is longer, and that extra weight will make its attacks do more damage. Edge Richard

Medium range-The  Rogatina shares the same advantages of the longsword: length and power. Edge Alexander

Long range-I give it to the crossbow. It may have a long reload and a shorter overall range, but it has a larger effective rage. That, and the greater power gives Richard the edge.

Special-The Battle Ax will do tons of damage, however it is not as effective one handed (the other holding your shield.) The  Klevets is more manuverable and can be used effectivly with a shield. Edge Alexander

Shield-The Kite shield is huge, but harder to manuver than the Knight shield. Edge Alexander

Armor-Going with Alexander here. His armor may be heavier, but plated chainmail is more durable than normal chainmail.
