TheWetWaffle's "Pain In Britain's Ass" Edges

Knives: I find that the Kukri is superior for it's larger and more intimidating blade. Plus the Gurkhas seem to be more proficent with their knife compared to the Afghan's less durable, albeit longer Shorah.

Edge: Gurkhas

Swords: To be honest, I don't really think that there is much of a difference between these two swords. Both are curved, long, and sharp like a sword should be. The pommel won't make much of a difference in this case. But the superior training of the Gurkhas will allow them to use the Talwar to greater use.

Edge: Gurkhas

Muskets: While the Brown Bess is a solid weapon as it has been used for over a hundred years which is really long considering the advancement of weaponry but, I find that the Double-Barreled Musket is superior. If the Gurkha wielding it misses his first shot, he can get a second chance to hit with the extra shot.

Edge: Gurkhas

Rifles: The Baker Rifle may be a weapon that wasn't improvised and most likely is of better quality, but the Jezail is a lot more diverse. It's bipod helps it shoot people with greater accuracy and the more ammo choices easily overcome it's inferior range compared to the Baker.

Edge: Afghan Warror

X Factors: The Gurkhas take an average of 79.75 while the Afghan Warriors take an average of 77.25. The Gurkhas are better trained and are more tenacious while the Afghan Warriors have better tactics while both have good leadership.

Edge: Gurkhas

FInal Verdict: I definately think the Gurkhas are the superior warriors. They have better weapons, take a majority of the X Factors, and despite of their rifle not being up to par as the Afghan Warriors they can win.

OVERALL: GURKHAS

By the way SPARTAN, you may want to fix the bio of the Afghan Warrior. It's the same bio as the Jezail.
