Elgb’s “Dissenting Opinionz” EDGES!!!!

Oh man. Here is another one of my poor attempts at trying to emulate EA’s and Leopab’s ability to turn the botes around. But as a Western fan myself I really have to vote on this one. And as you can probably guess from the title, I am siding with Teddy Roosevelt on this one.

I have to vehemently disagree with those saying that Geronimo had the better weapons, since the Colt Peacemaker was actually a predecessor to the Colt M1892. Granted I do agree that the Colt M1892 was known for its mediocre round, but it IS a gun chambered for smokeless gunpowder as opposed to the Peacemaker chambered for blackpowder. This meant that even if the .38 Long colt was the smaller round, it has more velocity, accuracy and power than the blackpowder .45 LC. People also forgot that the Colt M1892 was a double action revolver, and has a swing out cylinder giving it thrice the reload speed than the fixed cylinder Peacemaker.

Teddy also has the edge in melee, since the bowie has the larger surface are and more versatile set of attacks than the tomahawk (there is a reason why armies use knives and not axes

In rifles, I am pretty sure that Teddy probably used a krag or a Winchester 1895 than a Winchester 1876 and Getonimo used a Snider Enfield but im just nitpicking. Bith weapons they carry are the same.

The only advantage that Geronimo had is in tactics and experience. The dude did fought noh the US and Mexican army and fought long enough to be catapulted into kegend. But Theodore Roosevelt had better training and equipment at his side. Geronimo was a man who triumphed with guerilla warfare and this is the major problem that Roosevelt has too look out for. However, Roosevelt has the perfect counter for this: the cowboys and the scouts he has on his Rough Riders (The person to track down Geronimo was a man named Tom Horn who was both a cowboy and an army scout). If Roosevelt can just hang in there long enough with his better weapons and training, hell be able to drive away the Indians and finally track and corner them.

(P.S. Sorry for the ass half vote. Just wrote those on a shitty Iphone 4s).

Winner: Teddy Roosevelt.
