''Iron Thunder! Iron Thunder!''

'''Edelwiess vs Mk. III Barrel: Irving Morrell.''' Now, this may be because I have no idea how the mortar will work with the Edelwiess, but Irving's Barrel can tackle both enemy tanks and shred infantry with Canister rounds. High-Explosive can tackle both Infantry and possibly buildings if the enemy takes cover inside one. The Edelwiess' smoke rounds will obscure them from the enemy, but then again, it also obscures the enemy from them. I honestly can tell no difference between the grenades.. hehehe...

Basic: Tie. I found this decision rather impossible to make. The Springfield is lighter, has a longer firing range, and being a bolt action, has the more accurate fire (if you want my psuedo-science behind that, just ask). Meanwhile, the Gallian-A does pack two more bullets, and of course can be fired by just squeezing the trigger as fast as you can.

Anti-Tank: Welkin Gunther. Yeah... the Confederate Anti-Barrel Rocket is basically defeated by the Lance all the way. The Lance has more explosive power and longer range. It is heavier and more bulky than the Anti-Barrel, but when you can almost literally snipe tanks, I don't think that's going to matter.

Close Range: Irving Morrell. Ah, SMGs. I see the M1 Thompson getting the edge due to it's more powerful round and 10 bullet advantage over the Mag MXX. It is also a shorter weapon, which can often mean the difference between life or death in real CQC Shootouts.

Support Tank: Welkin Gunther. I honestly have to give this to the Shamrock. It has a bigger gun, and unless the picture is decieving me, is a more compact tank. The Barrel Mk II.V does pack more machine guns and HE rounds, but I don't see it being able to beat the Shamrock.

'Deadliest Warrior: Irving Morrell. 'I had to reread each person's bio a few times, as the edges are literally tied to where neither person has the advantage based upon weapons alone. So, after reading the bios, and getting a slight idea of like XP and other things that may turn the tide, I have to give this to Morrel. He has the decades of XP and command experience that I believe shall give him the edge over Welkin. Weapons-wise, each person is on par, but it is Irving's experience that is going to carry him over Welkin Gunther after a long, bloody, hard-fought battle.
