Battlefan237's Winds in the wilderness edges :

Melee:The club has a longer range while the bowie knife has a more powerful base stats due to it being a blade.With that said both weapons have their own advantages. Therefore I'm calling it even . To be honest I can see neither of the weapons being of great help in this battle.

Mid:An interesting comparasion. Although at first glance the pistol seems to be winning due to it being a firearm, having the potential to deal more damage. However, as mentioned by the users below the bow is far more versatile and is actually faster, as well as maintaining higher accuracy at a longer range. In addition most Lakota soldiers are well-trained in handling the bows while most Johnson County civilians are untrained residents that are aboslutely far from being sharpshooters or expert marksmen. Edge:Lakota Sioux

Long:In terms of basic stats once again both weapons have their own advantages. For Lakota soldiers their rifles have one more useful round, while for the residents their Winchester fires more powerful round.However what nails this edge for the Winchester is that the Lakota soldiers will be mounted, making it hard for them to reload their rifles, greatly reducing their effiency and accuracy. Edge:Johnson County 

Tactics & Overall:To be honest I have mixed feelings towards this battle. On one hand I like the idea of pitting these two warrior groups against each other and obviously ELGB has done a lot of research about them, however on the other hand I feel it is kind of unfair to place the Johnson County residents at a defensive position that suits their speciality perfectly. And while the Lakota soldiers have an advantage in number, which will help them a bit but once again Johnson County folks have been through worse. All in all, the Lakota people are venturing into a land of strangers packed with overall better weapons that suit the situation, while bringing the incorrect choice of weapon that will bite back. Winner：Johnson County, majorly due to the setting
