Elgb's "Ancient Snipers: Trained to See and Kill" EDGES!!!

Short: Well the bastard sword takes this no doubt. The Acinaces looks terrifying but it length and design makes it look like a modified machete. The bastard sword has that slimmer, lighter and longer blade that is more maneuverable for combat. EDGE: Yeoman

Mid: The quarterstaff is just that, a staff. Its simple, deadly, and quick, but a spear can kill you will less effort and less energy because of its iron tip blade. No contest. EDGE: Persians

Long: Just like what DB said. Longbow takes this no doubt. It's the better crafted weapon designed to shoot farther and harder than any bow before it (in due to its bodkin arrows if the Yeomans have it). Although the Persian bow is probably the faster bow; range, accuracy and power goes straight to the longbow. EDGE: Yeoman

Special: Again, no contest here. An axe will defeat a puny dagger in a fight. It's got the range and power to do so. While the dagger is concealable, lighter and more manueverable, in a melee fight size and power are always the first priorities. And the axe definately commits. EDGE: Persian

X-Factors: In terms of logistics, training and experience, the Persian Archers takes this. They are a military unit as opposed to the Yeomans being irregulars. The Yeoman's on the other hand takes mettalurgy, but aside from that nothing else. EDGE: Persian

Deadliest Warrior?

Initially, I was all rooting for the Yeomans. Not only do they have the stronger short and long range weapons, but they were trained to be snipers capable of accurate shots while the Persians were trained to fire in groups and volleys. However, even so, the Persian archers are talented enough to do what the Yeomans can do if told to do so. In the end, the Persians have the better melee weapons in this fight and the x-factors, and while the Yeomans have the more dangerous bow, the Persians have the training that these irregulars don't have. In the end, I'm giving it to Persians, but it will be extremely close.
