User blog comment:Pygmy Hippo 2/Spartan vs. Tlingit/@comment-27358240-20181017131756

Kazanshin's "Pffft, screw iron!" edges:

Close range: As stated by everyone below me (both in the comments and in the divine hierarchy of extential beings) the Xiphos is longer, which is really only what ot needs to win this. Edge: SPARTAAAA!

Mid range: Spear>Sword>Club. Nuff said. Edgge: Spartan

Long range: Bow>Javelin>Sling>Stone Edge: Tlingit

Shields: Copper<Bronze. Nothing more to it. Edge: Tlingit

Conclusion: This is pretty straighfowrward. The Tlingit will have a hell of a time penetrating the Spartan's armor while the opposite will not be true. The Spartan's weapons, especially the Dory, will stab through wood and coins like a stick through air. Added to the inferior mobility of the Tlingit, both because of his weapon and because of his armor, and victory is clear. Winner: SPARTAAAAAAAAN!
