User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/Season 6 Battle 6 Mughal vs Norman/@comment-5795750-20130921222725

BG1's "Would You Like Some Normans with that?" Edges:

Short: The Talwar sword gets the edge here since it is lighter and longer than the broadsword and it can do the slashing, stabbing and cutting much faster than the broadsword because it is curved

EDGE: Mughals

Medium: Don't know much of the Saintie Spear but judging by the image and the available info, it makes for a good parrying weapon but it lacks the range of the Axe; however the spear is good for stabs but not slashes and vice versa for the axe so...

EDGE: Even (leaning towards the Huskarl)

Long: Bows and arrows > throwing spears mainly because its easier to load a bow and arrow than recover a throwing spear, and the bow and arrow possess more range than the spear so...

EDGE: Mughals

Armour: The Huskarl kite shield might provide more protection than the Mughal round shield but the Huskarl's armour is not as protective or as mobile as the Mughals is since the latter possess chain and plate armour whereas the Huskarl has just chain armour (i.e. the Mughal armour offers the user the same amount of protection as the Huskarls but it doesn't sacrifice mobility in the process)

EDGE: Mughal

Overall Winner: The Mughals win this battle owing to their creative fighting style, combat experience and superior armour as well as taking most of the weapons edges
