CFP3157'S EDGES OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION: "'''Kukri has cut yet another rifling thing." '''

Melee: Gurkhas 

The Kukri is an obviusly superior weapon. What the Tomahawk has in range, it lacks in the versatility and light weight of the Kukri. Before the Ranger can lift his Tomahawk, he'll have a Kukri in his neck.

Mid Range: Roger's Rangers 

While the Blunderbuss does lack the range and weight of the Flintlock, it has sheer firepower that is ideal for the close ranges these two warriors excell in.

Long Range: Even

Like Affectos said, range is going to be a factor. While it is a slower reload, the Gurkhas can shoot from farther range in the volley fire formations they love. At the same time though, the Ranger's did enjoyo moving in close and hiding in the brush, so they're not going to stand like sitting ducks as the Gurkhas are used to.

WINNER: Roger's Rangers

In the end, the Gurkhas had to compete with British redcoats, who used inferior colonial tactics during the time that made them easy pickingss in a melee fight. The Rangers have fought in melee and are trained in the warfare that Gurkhas used. In the end, the Rangers are on the same level as Gurkhas, and with their dominating shotgun and the hit-and-run guerilla tactics, the Gurkhas will realize just what kind of situation they're in too late.
