User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Third Recon Team (Gate) vs SS Patrol (Sturmgeshutz and Sorcery)/@comment-5559147-20140914174546

As this is a cool idea for a battle and looks like Spartan put some work in to it. I've been meaning to vote, but time hasn't been on my side. Even know so I'm going to have to keep it short. Though as often is the case for me a I may get back to it latter.

Weapons - The only weapons comparison the 50+ year tech gap makes a huge difference in is the rifles and even then the Mauser has a couple of things going for it. That coupled with the fact that the SS has a weapon the Third Recon team has no analog for in the flamethrower. I'm going to call weapons over all even.

Vehicles - As already mentioned. The Germans have more of them and more that are armored. So they get the edge.

Over all - The SS are not that far behind in small arms. Have greater numbers in both men and vehicles. They also likely have more experience, both as soldiers and as a unit. Note that when dropped into an unknown area against an unknown enemy they responded quickly and as a team adjusting and creating tactics as they went. They were present as a top of the line outfit in a way out of context situation, who still managed to hold it together. The Third Recon team on the other hand is led by a man who does as little as possible. In an encounter like this were he doesn't enjoy a massive tech advantage and is fighting a determined foe is gonna get him and his men killed.

DEADLIEST WARRIOR - SS Patrol ( Sturmgeshutz and Sorcery )
