My edges: Close Range: the Kilij is a deadly slashing sword and the shield can block the Espada Ropera and Main Gauche. Edge: Vlad.

Medium Range: Well the Halberd and Poleaxe are very similer, the Halberd has a bigger axe head, so it can do more damage. Edge: Vlad.

Long Range: Both weapons take a while to reload, so after the first shot from both sides, they will still need some time before the second one. However, the crossbow takes a little less time and is more accurate. Edge: Vlad

Special: A blackpowder weapon vs. a sword? This obviously gives the upperhand to Vlad. Edge: Vlad.

Armour: Plate armor beats chainmail. Plain and simple. Edge: Cortes.

X-Factor: Sure, as a conquistador, Cortes knows what it's like to fight in a jungle, but Vlad goes into battle planning to make his enemies into kabobs, and as a plus, as we know from pro athletes, a good diet means alot. Edge: Vlad.

Overall Winner: Vlad.
