Kazanshin's "Be efficient, whether it's pretty or not" edges:

Close: The war club is a great weapon, but I don't see it being as good as the slashing and stabbing dagger of the sicarii, which will be more lethal. However, when taking in account the armor, the slashing power of the pugio will be greatly stopped by the thick coat and armor of the Inuit. Therefore, I give the two weapons an even rating. Edge: Even

Mid: I like the sica: it's a powerful weapon, capable of inflicting lethal damage in quick strikes. It's made of metal, compared to the stone and possible meteor iron of the harpoon. However, this is mid-range weapons, and also considering the sicarii is unarmored, the harpoon's superior reach and better defensive use with the shaft and the rope gets my edge. Edge: Inuit Raider

Long: A sling vs a bow. Edge: Inuit Raider

Special: The cloak is pretty good for deception and confusion, but in a fight, it's armor and not a cloth cloak that's going to protect you from an attack. Edge: Inuit Raider

X-Factors: The Sicarii pretty much dominates the X-Factors. The Inuits were part-time warriors, and were mainly hunters, unlike the professional assassin of the Sicarii.If there's one thing the Inuit takes, it's tactics. As stated before, the Sicarii were assassins, not frontal killers. Inuits were raiders, who came, plundered, and bashed the opposition in the face, then left. If anythingm they would have tooken physicality, stamina and durability, but those aren't in the battle. Edge: Sicarii

Final Verdict: Classic case of "Ninja vs Spartan", although I must say ninjas were so overrated they're now underrated, with people saying they couldn't do anything in a frontal fight at all, losing fights against goddamn Zulus. But anyways, the Inuit has weaponry and armor better suited for a frontal engagement and don't need to be concealed, unlike the Sicarii, who can't carry too big weaponsin order to keep stealth. The sicarii will have good mobility, which will keep it alive for the first half of the fight, but with the Inuit dominating both in melee with a pole weapon and in long range with armor and a bow, I give the final victory to the INUIT RAIDER.
