Elgb's "So what if I hit like a girl? You'll still be dead anyways" EDGES!!!

Short: Giving this one to the classic European longsword since I doubt that the Tulwar's specialization in slashing will be useless to chainmail. WHile the longsword won't fare better, its long straight blade can be used to pinpoint unarmored parts (ala half-swording). EDGE: Matilda

Short: The lance was designed primarily for horseback so it won't do well when faced with actual infantry weapons. The Firangi has the larger surface area and is easier to use on foot than the lance. EDGE: Tarabai

Long: Poor choice of weapons here Impaler. A fucking catapul is useless in a small squad battle. The chakram is no doubt superior. EDGE: Tarabai

Armor: I fucking doubt that the Matilda had plate armor since she lived in the late 9th century to the early 10th century. I assume that she and her men will be using the more approipriate hauberk chainmail. Nonetheless, Tabarai's chainmail has a thick breast plate for futher protection. EDGE: Tarabai

Deadliest Warrior?

Although Matilda of Tuscany fought more campaigns than Tarabai during her resistance in India, the Indian queen still carried the better and more advanced weapons than the Italinian. Matilda was at most strictly a commander who fought conventional warfare with a mix of political maneuverings, which will be nulllfied by Tarabai's use of unconventional warfare in her resistance agaisnt the Mughal. In the same vain when I'm choosing Indian over Italian in dinner, I'd rather be with the spicy Indian Queen with the better arms and tactics than the creamy bland Italian politician.
