Kazanshin "English and Americans love to fight each other, don't they? Just a Canadian's observation."

Melee: The Bowie Knife is longer, nothing more to really say. Edge: Theodore Roosevelt

Handguns: The Webley is a double action with a possible range advantage and a slightly bigger caliber. Edge: Lawrence of Arabia

Rifles: The Lee-Enfield has better muzzle velocity, but the Krag has longer range. Whic do I choose? I'll give the edge to the Krag since even with the slower muzzle velocity, you'll still be pretty dead if you're shot with it. Edge: Theodore Roosevelt

Machine Guns: The Hotchkiss has a superior rate of fire and can be both belt-fed or reloaded with a feed strip. Edge: Lawrence of Arabia

Troops: While on average, the Arab army may not be as good as the Rough Riders because of some of them having almost no training, considering they'll both be leading elite men of each group, I'll give the very slight edge to the Arab army due to being consisted of actual military members. Edge: Lawrence of Arabia

X-Factors:I won't put the entire comparison in here and just say I give Lawrence tactics and butality (the latter which will pretty much be useless) while Teddy gets training and logistics. They're tied in experience. Edge: Theodore Roosevelt

Final Verdict: This is almost too close to call for me. I have absolutely no idea who's going to win. While both have their edges over each other, those edges are not big enough to make each weapons absolutely superior to the other. However, I know I must give victory to one of them, and I'll say Theodore Roosevelt wins this battle. Lawrence is an admirable man, absolutely no doubt, and it really pains me to vote against him, but the better range of the Krag rifle and X-Factors of Teddy will end up snatching that victory, millimeters away from Lawrence's hands.
