User blog comment:El Alamein/Byzantine Cataphract vs. Polish Winged Hussar/@comment-67.249.96.34-20120626121112

+Short Range [Cataphract]: Tha Spathian is based on the Spatha so it has more stabbing potential and the hammer seems limited being blunt but with very small head and two hands. Heck I'd take the cataphract bardoukion over the nadziak.

+Mid Range [Cataphract]: Lances are too similar except that the Hussar's lance is really long and I think that would actually get in the way because of the top heavy possibility. It also can be used better in case of being nocked off.

+Long Range [Cataphract]: Toxton is basically a kind onf Hunnic recurve, that means it's really good for horsebasck and more quick to load and wieldly from horseback than the crossbow.

+Armor [Even]: Hussar's seems to be just enough to cover everything but not be too heavy (despite the flare) but the Cataphract's armor just covers everything.

WINNER: Byzantine Cataphract
