User blog comment:Richard Starkey/Blackpowder Conquerors User tourney Round 3: Leolab vs. Wassboss/@comment-422690-20111004160349

Close: Even. While there no doubt that a Kilij is a great weapon, the different fighting style for using an axe on horseback will throw Wassboss off,. Regardless, the Kilij has more stopping power.Edge: Even.

Mid: Leucerne Hammer wins. The Leucerne Hammer has blunt trauma on it's side, which is more likely to kill Wassboss in his armor than a Lancea thrust will get through mine. In addition, the spike on the Leucerne hammer lets me use it to dismount riders, something which the Lancea lacks. The only thing the Lancea has going for it is that it can be used on a horse. Edge: Me.

Long range: India Pattern Brown Bess wins. Despite being the same basic model, the India Pattern is shorter and a full pound (may not sound like a lot, but when you're on the move, it's a big difference) lighter, allowing for more maneuverability and the ability to fire from the saddle. Edge: Me. Barely.

Special: Multiple Loaded Volley Pistols win. The Hand Canon is very primitive, and has one shot. The Volley Pistols have several shots per pull of the trigger, and they have comparable reload times. Plus, I have multiple, so while he's reloading that hand cannon I can just pull out another pistol and shoot. Edge: Me.

Torture :) : I win by far. Not only is mine a method of torture rather than just a painful execution, and not only is mine actually feasible, it is also guaranteed to make them talk. Which they can't do if their mouth is stitched up. In addition, if they do manage to escape, the conditioning will make them unable to function in normal life or a liability in battle. My method utterly breaks them, Reek, Reek, it rhymes with bleak while Wassboss's method just kills. Edge: Me.

X-factors: I win. My numbers average out to 86.333 while Wassboss's average out to 81.833, which is a 4.5 point difference. Plus, I have an 11-point lead in Intelligence and a 30-point lead in Sanity, both of which will give me a win. Also, I think you mixed up the brutality rating; read my torture method again and tell me if you think it's right. Edge: Me.

Overall: I win. Thanks to my lead in two critical X-Factors (see Hernan vs Ivan), my superior weaponry, and the superior quality of my armor, I should have this in the bag.
