BG1's "To the Rescue!" Edges:

Close Range: The tomahawk is not a weapon to be ignored here since it can be used not only as a melee weapon but as a thrown one too but I have to give the edge to the Panga since as a sword it is more effective and deadly weapon to keep in your hand when the fight gets close

EDGE: Dahomey Amazons

Mid Range: Gun vs spear/javelin? Well obvious the gun is superior... but I've always had the thought that given that there is cover the flintlock pistol ammo would be unrecoverable compared to the assegai but then again hard balls can shatter most types of cover (probably not to kill the person behind a tree or rock but drastically reduce the coverage area)

EDGE: Roger's Rangers

Long Range: What do you expect me to say here except they are both muskets that do the job of killing well; the only difference between the two is that the Brown Bess was invented for mid-to-late 18th century soldiers but the Dane Gun was produced for early 19th century soldiers (and can still be used today, just check it out for yourself - you'll find pictures of Nigerians of today holding the gun). I guess it call comes down to skill here but for now

EDGE: Even

Special: This is kinda like the Close Range edge in reverse because now the Dahomey Amazons have the throw-or-sword weapon and the Rangers have a spear-like attachment to their gun; I reckon though that being able to give a gun a secondary option for when reloading takes too long is perk to hard to ignore and why have two separate weapons when you can have 2-in-1; also being stabbed is more lethal than getting your head bashed in

EDGE: Rangers

Overall Winner: TBF
