User blog comment:Thornclaw Braveheart/Knights of Saint John vs. Oprichniks/@comment-1298206-20110801175331

Close: A rapier is a thrusting weapon and a shashka can be used for slashing and thrusting. Edge: Oprichniks

Mid: Since the pike is longer, I have to stick with it, so I'm giving it the edge. Edge: Knights of St. John

Long: Arquebus, since it does have greater power compared to the snaphance pistol. Edge: Knights of St. John

Special: Flaming hoop. Edge: Knights of St. John

Armour: The steel cuirass is better than the lamellar, as well as the morion helmet when compared to the halfhelm. Edge: Knights of St. John

X Factor: While being determined and disciplined is all very well, using terror and display of strength would surely intimidate weaker enemies, thus giving them the psychological advantage. Edge: Oprichniks
