User blog comment:El Alamein/The Screaming Eagles vs. The Lusthog Squad/@comment-5465602-20121129002801

BeastMan14's "I expect one of you dirtbags to give each other the reach-around!" Edges:

Close: While the squads have almost identical weaponry, the Lusthog squads gets my edge due to the machetes length over most of the Screaming Eagles weapons. Edge: Lusthog Squad

Mid: Again, almost identical, except for the fact that the AK-47 is far more reliable than the M14. Edge: Screaming Eagles

Long: Same guns, no difference whatsoever. Edge: Even

Special: The M79 is more advanced than the M26, and the M79 and and M72 are the same guns for both teams, which leads me to my final weapon examination. While it is close, the smoke grenade is a Disorienting un-lethal gun. Meanwhile, the BB gun to quote the Christmas Story, will shoot your eye out. And pierce flesh like n agonizing bronze bee. Edge: Lusthog Squad

For X-Factors, I will analyze the 4 most important:

Teamwork:The Screaming eagles are more coordinated than Lusthog squad tactics wise. Edge: Screaming Eagles

Leadership: Lusthog squad lost leaders too fast to really work together fluidly. Edge: Screaming Eagles

Combat Experience: Lusthog squad fought through the Tet offensive, which was an agonizing, brutal, demoralizing, and unpredictable ambush by Viet Cong. And guess what? They won. While Hamburger hill was also very brutal, it can't compare to being shot from every angle by Ana enemy with no rules. Edge: Lusthog Squad.

Logistics: The Eagles had no supplies due to being trapped on a hill, meanwhile, Lusthog Squad still had decent supplies during the Offensive. Edge: Lusthog Squad

Deadliest warrior: Lusthog squad narrowly takes this with a score of 550-450 due to better (if some what identical) weapons load outs and better experience.
