Well...

Short range: Landsknecht: The Katzbalger can stab and hack...so edge katzbalger.

Medium: Jannisaries: The axe is a little shorter, but it can cut the pike in half and can be used in close as well as from a medium distance. Plus, it creates more trauma when it hits. Edge: Axe

Long range: Landsknecht: The abus gun is an early form of artillery, but it's innacurate and hard to move despite it's greater range. The Arquebus is more mobile. Edge: Arquebus

Special: Landsknecht: The Zweihander has reach and versatility. Edge: Zweihander

Winner: Landsknecht

They bring better weapons, training, experience and they have a hell of a lot better armor.
