BG1's "It Was Brawn that Killed 'Em" Edges:

Long Range: There's a reason why the M1 Carbine was used to great effect in the war - its semi-automatic firing and large magazine was useful in helping soldiers dish out a greater deal of damage over their bolt-action counterparts

EDGE: Monuments Men

Medium Range: Let's face it, the M1928 was more of a spray-and-pray weapon primarily used by gangsters than an actually effective combat-oriented SMG, I mean yes there have been some combat units in WWII that did use the M1928 in their arsenal but on the face of it, there is a reason why late into the war the M1A1 Thompson became used more often

EDGE: Monuments Men

Short Range: One extra round vs a larger calibre bullet? I think I'll give the edge to the gun with the larger calibre bullet

EDGE: Monuments Men

Melee: This is perhaps the only weapons edge that Denham's Expedition gets since the machete has the longer blade and thus a larger killing surface

EDGE: Denham's Expedition

X-Factors: Wow Cfp's actually done it for me so...

EDGE: Denham's Expedition

Overall Winner: After having thought about this very carefully, I will have to concede that both sides have their advantages - the Monuments Men being the more technologically advanced, better led and tactically savvy group but Denham's Expedition being more bloodthirsty, experienced and physically fit. Where this battle takes place is also perhaps a key point to consider since the Monuments Men primarily fought among the ruined cities and forests of WWII Europe while Denham and his crew primarily trekked through the rainforest-y primitive environment of Skull Island. In the end I will have to say that Denham's Expedition actually takes the win here but it will be close - they may not have the weapons edges locked down but I believe that them having survived the relentless beastly charges of Skull Island is perhaps a far more dangerous task than outwitting the Nazis going in full retreat mode and thus this greater experience may help them win out.
