THe Impaler vs Jerusalem's conqueror!

1. Melee

The longsword has two blades to the Kilij's one, and offers more punch and superior range (By a foot).

EDGE: Bouillon!

2. Mid range:

Both haldberds are the same length and offer a similar axe head and spike. However, Bouillon's has a metal tip on the opposite end, ulike Vlad's, which seems only wood. This will allow more punch and lethality (Metal can pierce metal armor, not wood)

EDGE: Bouillon!

3. Long range:

Bouillon's crossbow reload time is a 6th of Vlad's reload time, and Bouillon's crossbow has a range of 150 feet, while Vlad's has only 100 feet. It is by far the superior weapon.

EDGE: Bouillon!

4. Special.

No contest: Vlad's hand cannon has longer range and more lethality than the Knightstar. There is a reason why firearms replaced melee weapons in combat.

EDGE: VLad!

5. X Factors

VLad has an advantage of 3 to 2 in x factors. Bouillon does have superior training and determination, but Vlad has superior experience, stealth, and brutality, and the former two can outweigh all of Bouillon's combined; stealth attacks mean guerilla/unconventional warfare. This will be needed, since Bouillon's weapons far surpass Vlads.

EDGE: Vlad!

This vote is...bery tricky. Bouillon has superior short, mid, and long range weapons, plus more training. Vlad's hand cannon beats the knightstar, and Vlad has stealth and experience on his side. If you cant take an enemy from the front, take them from behind, and since Vlad is used to facing more powerful Turks, he may very well employ such a tactic here. I see Vlad slaying 3 or 4 crusaders before Buillon knows what's happening, and then he'll be outnumbered, and facing, above all things...hand cannons. Firearms gives the Impaler superior tech in this fight, an edge of its own.

VLAD VAMPIRIZES BOUILLON (And he doesn't wait till TWILIGHT, gag) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
