Pygmy Hippo's "When In Rome" Edges

Sidearm:The Celtic Sword is longer and has two edges but tge Falcata is made of steel rather than iron. Edge:Boudica

Main:The Sarissa is longer but the Celtic Spear can be thrown and stabbed with. Edge:Tie

Long Range:The War Sling is terrible at actually killing a target, the Soliferrum can kill much more easily. Edge:Hannibal

Armor:The Bronze Cuirass is far more resistant to stabs than Chainmail and I'm fairly sure that Linthorax is tougher than cloth. Edge:Hannibal

Cavalry:The Numidian Cavalry are just using the same weapons as everyone else, the Celtic Chariot is an additional weapon. Edge:Boudica

X-Factors:Boudica ties in Physicality but Hannibal takes Experience, Training, and Tactics. Edge:Hannibal

Final Verdict:Looks like he didn't need the elephant after all, Hannibal's coming out the victor in the duel of Rome's greatest foes. (Excluding Attila the Hun.) Another point I would like to mention is that I believe Hannibal had Celts in his army and would be used to their tactics, putting Boudica at even more of a disadvantage. Even without that, his superiority at long range and tough armor along with better troops means that he lives to fight Rome one more day.

Winner:Hannibal Barca

P.S.:I was wondering what weapons and X-Factors you wanted for the Jungle Jims?
