User blog comment:BattleGames1/Deadliest Warrior Battle 4 (redux) - Landsknecht vs Streltsy/@comment-5495321-20121227043139

Alright...

Close: Landsknecht: The proper weapon name for a Streltsy's sword is a Sablia, but whatever. The Katzbalger will cleave clean through the weakly armored Streltsy with ease. Landsknecht truly wore very nice plate armor (Not like a knight's, but still good) which the Sablia can't get by. Also, the Katzbalger can thrust more effectively.

EDGE: Landsknecht

Medium range: Landsknecht: The pike is the prinicipal weapon of a landsknecht. They are profficient with it and it can dismount and kill with ease. Again with the armor, I doubt the Spontoon can get through the Landsknecht's armor, but the Pike will easily go through the Streltsy's plated chain mail.

EDGE: Landsknecht

Long: Streltsy: Neither will really go through armor all that easily, but the Pischal reloads faster. If you can reload faster, you can hit the Landsknecht in the face while he's reloading.

EDGE: Streltsy

Special: Landsknecht: The Bardiche is big. The Zweihander is big. They can both tire out a man, but the Zweihander is faster, has more blade, can thrust, lighter and if you have good training (Which the Landsknecht had) is more deadly when wielded.

EDGE: Landsknecht

Overall: The Landsknecht takes this so easily. Their close quarters weapons are massively powerful, and what they lack in ranged weaponry, they make up for in armor. They are also far more powerful in combat as they have held up against massive numbers of opponents when they are outnumbered.

EDGE: VERY EASILY, THE LANDSKNECHT
