User blog comment:Lt.Chard/Viking vs Rajput/@comment-181289-20110303174558

I'm doing my personal edges for this fight becasue I honastly think it would be really close and need to clarify my reasons.

Close: Edge Viking. The Long sword and Khanda are actully really close is haning and slashing power, but the long sword can also thrust, and combined with the sheild, which is both defense and offense.

Mid: Edge Viking. The Axe is more versitil than the Bhuj. It can hack, crush stab with the horn and hook with the beard of the axe. The biggest advantage is the sheer blunt force trauma is the best type of weapon against the Rajputs armor.

Long: Even. Honastly niether is the peak of ranged weapons, The spear is more likly to get through the Rajputs armor but the Rajput can carry more Chakrams, giving him more oppertunitys to hit.

Special: Edge Rajput: The Katar is far more versatil than the seax, it can offer hand protection and could be used to cathc weapons.

Armor: Edge Viking: Though not listed both are using a form of mail armor, but the types used are very differnt. The mail used in India tended to be of a smaller gauge and butted, whereas the Northern European mail was genreally a higher gauge and rivited or welded. This makes the Viking mail much harder to penatrate.

Overall winner: Viking, His armor is more resistant to the Rajput's weapons than the Rajput's armor is to the Viking's weapons. While the Khanda can give blunt force damage but the Axe is also going to dealing out even more blunt for trauma. While the Katar can penatrate light mail, I have doubts it would penatrate the viking's mail, or at least to an extent that can casue a great deal of damage.
