User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/Season 6 Battle 3 Matilda of Canossa vs Boudica/@comment-5795750-20130903010719

BG1's "CATFIGHT!" Edges

Short: Broadsword easily because of its lighter weight and longer blade

EDGE: Matilda

Medium: Lance is meant to be of use on a horse and it is a one-time weapon whereas the lancea is a spear that can be used to parry and stab and do that all over again

EDGE: Boudica

Long: I have to give the edge to the sling here - might not have range or accuracy but heck, it takes a lot longer to load and reload a crossbow than it is to find a stone for the sling (there's plenty of them lying around the battlefield methinks)

EDGE: Boudica (just)

Overall: Honestly, I have to give this to Matilda of Canossa - despite losing out on the long and medium range edges, Matilda is better armoured, the better swordsman and has at least had some degree of formal training and experience (how else do you think she got the job of protecting the pope).
