User blog comment:Elgb333/Americana Pt 1: Lakota Sioux vs Johnson County/@comment-27043000-20190308033901

Pygmy Hippo's "Horses vs. Homes, Clearly Some People Have Never Heard of a Wagon " Edges

Short:The Stone War Club is longer but the Bowie Knife is lighter, made out of better materials, and sharp>blunt. The Club can be used on horseback but that's a quality that every melee weapon used by a horseback people should have and the Knife can also be thrown for an unexpected attack. Edge:Johnson

Medium:The Short-Barreled Colt Peacemaker can cause more damage with bullets almost always beating arrows in that category but the Osage Orange Bow can actually fire more rapidly and can reload quicker along with a longer range. Another thing to note is that the Bow has various types of ammunition unlike the Peacemaker including flaming arrows which will cause serious damage to the community's houses and force them out into the open. Edge:Lakota

Long:The Henry Rifle has more rounds but the Winchester Model 1876 has the deadlier round, a longer range, and faster muzzle velocity. Both may be lever-action but the Henry's reload makes it basically impossible to reload on a horse while the Winchester can be reloaded easily in a house. Edge:Johnson

Tactics:Both tactics involve stealth but the Ambush at a Defensive Position seems to be designed to counter the Hit and Run Tactics due to the latter relying on a target pursuing which the former doesn't even do as it would give up that strategy's greatest advantage. While the Lakota have the tools to burn down houses, the Johnson residents will just move to a new home and keep on firing away at their mounted opponents. Edge:Johnson

X-Factors:In Training, the Lakota Tribe takes a slight edge as while they may fall behind some of the Johnson residents in training, all of them have the same training as opposed to the latter only having a small minority of trained warriors. In Experience, the Lakota Tribe take the edge for their longer careers with more conflicts along with facing a greater variety of opponents. In Logistics, Johnson County takes the edge for not having to scavenge for resources, instead having an abundance of weapons and ammo. In Strategy, Johnson County takes the edge for never giving up their greatest advantage, their defensive positions, and going for enemy leadership in battles that they can win. Edge:Tie

Final Verdict:The Lakota Tribe have a better sidearm and made a comeback in the X-Factors but ultimately Johnson County will be victorious dor their better short and long range weapons and the perfect strategy to win this fight. The Johnson residents can keep on taking out the Lakota's leaders while they move from house to house and not have to loot the dead for more ammo. The Tribe does have the flaming arrows but I doubt they'll destroy all the houses and more training/experience although their training isn't that great and while they do have a numbers advantage and horses, they don't have any cover from gunfire like the County does.

Winner:Johnson County
