User blog comment:El Alamein/Chu-Ko-Nu vs. Persian Archer/@comment-5078776-20120613125150

My vote goes to the Chinese archer. His crossbow has a faster rate of fire than the Persian bow. The Jian is only capable of thrusting, but the Sagaris couldn't penetrate a bronze helmut, as seen at the battle of Thermoplye or however you spell. The Spear is the only weapon that the Persian has that is good against the Chu Ko Nu.
