Pygmy Hippo's "1984" Edges

Main:The Tupara Musket has a quicker reload, more shots, and is lighter but the Baker Rifle has a deadlier round and a longer range. Edge:Maori

Secondary:The Hunting Knife is lighter and made out of better materials but the Shark-Toothed Club is longer. Edge:Bushrangers

Special:The Mere is more powerful with its jade blade over wood but the Boomerang has a longer range and is lighter. Edge:Bushrangers

Battlefield Tactics:The Raiding and Luring Tactics are a lot more useful for squad combat and even serve as a short of counter to the Defensive Position and Psychological Warfare. While the latter can be debilitating, guerrilla tactics are better in the long run. Edge:Bushrangers

X-Factors:The Maori take Training for their warrior culture and fierce loyalty when compared to the cowardly outlaws they're facing. The Bushrangers take Experience for their longer active time and facing slightly more variety of foes. The Bushrangers take Resources as well for their more modern firearms and mounted units. Edge:Bushrangers

Final Verdict:The Maori Warriors are losing horribly, AGAIN. Not surprising considering the Bushrangers are the more modern force with better melee weapons and tactics along with greater Experience and Resources. The Maori have a better firearm but it's not enough to beat guerrilla warfare and the Bushrangers will be able to keep firing for longer anyways with their resources.

Winner:Bushrangers
