119's "Dafty English Kiniggets" Edges


 * Swords: The Kilij has a reinforced point for thrusting, as well as a curved edge making it a lethal slashing weapon, especially from horseback. Edge: Sipahi


 * Blunt: The Mace takes this for its design, which is less prone to cause self-injury. Edge: Sipahi


 * Bows: The Crossbow packs a powerful punch, but is slow to reload, and impossible to reload on horseback. The Turkish bow, especially in the hands of a skilled archer such as a Sipahi, who could shoot rapidly from horse back, with enough force to pierce armor. Edge: Sipahi


 * Axes: The poleaxe has longer pole, and a secondary spear point and hook, giving it the edge.


 * Overall Winner: The Sipahi take this battle for their better swords, mace, and bows, as well as their superior tactics of fast, horse archery attacks to wither down a slower moving opponent like a Templar knight.
