Alright, I'll take a closer look.

When it comes to firearms, the flintlock replaced the matchlock. Also, since the flintlock is rifled, it will be more accurate at a further distance. However, the Arqubus does have the bigger round, and thus can create a larger wound, not to mention it can go through plate armor, let alone cloth. Edge, Even.

For Close Range, the Katzblager is longer than the Hessian axe. Also, it has more cutting surface. While lighter, it can be used more quickly. Edge, Landsknecht.

For Special, the Zweihander has a longer reach compared to the Hessian sword. Also, it could be used with greater power from a two-handed blow. Edge, Land.

X-Factors: While the Hessians take most of the X-Factors, Armor will play a huge part in this. Landsknecht wear armor, which, while might not be effective against firearms, will protect them against bladed weapons.

Overall, if the Lands can get past the rifles of the Hessians, they will take this fight.
