User blog comment:Undead RVD/Roman invasion of Rus!: Alexander Nevsky vs Julius Caesar/@comment-5795750-20130321063405

BG1's "You can't beat the Russians unless you are... wait for it... the Mongols!" Edges:

Short: The Crocea Mors does have the legendary ability to inflict unhealable wounds but take that away (since it is real life and not legend we are talking about here) and you're left with a simple gladius that is shorter and less versatile than the Longsword

EDGE: Alexander

Medium: Both spears are good, but the Rogatina is longer, has a head made of a more durable material and has a crosspiece that should help slow down the enemy.

EDGE: Alexander

Long: Time and time again, we have always known that weapons that are thrown away (even if you have multiple loads of them) are not as good as ranged weapons that can be reloaded and fired with precision.

EDGE: Alexander

Armour: Alexander and his men will have armour that is heavy but it will protect them much better than Caesar's armour good - plus the kite shield is much bigger again allowing for greater protection.

EDGE: Alexander

X-Factors: Average of 91 for Alexander, Average of 90 for Caesar

EDGE: Alexander

Overall Winner: Alexander Nevsky - this battle of two great generals reminds me of my Ramesses vs Caesar battle and the reason why Caesar won that battle was because he had weapons of a superior metallurgy and Caesar managed to plan his battles out more carefully than Ramesses; in this battle, the same thing happens except Caesar is now on the receiving end of the defeat. Also given the battle conditions, logistics for Caesar will be severely decreased and I doubt the men will fare well in the cold.
