User blog comment:The Deadliest Warrior, Jr./Landsknecht vs. English Musketeer/@comment-2016768-20110103033625

Son, while you do stress the all-importance of the Musketeer's Long Range advantage, you have no proof in saying that the Musket ball will penetrate the Landsknecht's armor.

The Landsknechts can and will close the distance, and remember that they still have a gun. It may not be as good as the Musketeer's gun, but it will get kills, make no mistake. And once the distance is closed, Pike, Halberd, and Doppelhänder will annhilate. The grenade can still be useful, but at close range it threatens friendly fire.

All-in-all, while the Musketeers may be more properly trained and might have a better black-powder advantage, the Landsknechts are just too well-rounded to lose.
