WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, we've assembled a team of world class fighters to test history's most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when two warriors go toe to toe.
No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death to decide who is...THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Here in our elite fight club we have gathered doctors, medical scientists and weapons experts to test out the lethal arsenals wielded by each of our combatants to determine who would win a fight between warriors who never met in a face to face duel:
Germanic Ghost Warrior
Circa: 400 A.D.
Height: 6'
Weight: 180 lbs.
Armor:
Chainmail
Oak Shield
Cheyenne Dog Soldier
Circa: 1869 A.D.
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Armor:
Bone-Pipe Breastplate
Buffalo Hide Shield
"Today we are featuring a battle between two fierce guerrilla warriors who terrorized opponents who were better trained, better disciplined and better equipped," biomedical scientist Geoff Desmoulin started.
"Both of these men relied upon psychological warfare to intimidate and overcome their foes. On one hand, you have a Germanic giant with his skin painted black, making him nearly invisible to the naked eye and on the other, you have a scrappy indigenous warrior who utilized elaborate costuming as well as knowledge of the land around him to his advantage," Richard "Mack" Machowicz added.
"The Ghost Warrior is a big guy and the Dog Soldier is small, but scrappy, but as it was with many tribes of his day, he also battled through a massive cholera epidemic and went through periods of starvation due to his tribes' dependence upon the buffalo, which at times could leave him underweight," trauma doctor Armand Dorian added.
"Well in the end we've still got weapons data to gather so let's get to it," Geoff concluded.
Coming from the Germanic Harii tribe, the Ghost Warriors would gain fame as they clashed with the forces of the Roman Empire. Specializing in night raiding, they painted themselves and their shields black as a means of rendering themselves nearly invisible in the dark and to keep any metal weapons from catching light. Using said tactics, they were exceptionally effective at raiding Roman encampments and running them out of ancient Germany.
"They were able to strike fear into the hearts of even the most hardened Roman soldiers to the point they would never again venture into the German forests, truly believing ghosts roamed the woods," Mack concluded.
The nocturnal guerrilla warrior comes equipped with an assortment of lethal iron-based weaponry that terrified his Roman oppressors:
Short Range: Migration Period Sword
Mid-Range: Framea
Long Range: Francisca Axe
Special Weapon: Langseax
Today, the Ghost Warrior takes on an equally unique, equally lethal challenger.
The Dog Soldiers were a military society of the Cheyenne tribe before evolving into its own separate, militaristic band in the 1830's that played a dominant role in the Cheyenne's resistance to American expansion into the Great Plains. Following a devastating cholera epidemic in 1849, they would be joined by the Masikota and formed a separate band that occupied territory between Northern and Southern Cheyenne that would last until most of its members were killed off in the Battle of Summit Springs.
"They were as fierce as you could get. They were opposed to peace policies because they were that determined to maintain their way of life and it was that resistance until the bitter end that left them an indelible place in the history of native warfare," Mack concluded.
The proud Dog Soldier rode into battle with an assortment of earthen-based weaponry aimed at halting expansion into his sacred lands:
Short Range: Flint Tomahawk
Mid-Range: Buffalo Lance
Long Range: Self Bow
Special Weapon: Gunstock War Club
In short range weapons both warriors carried two staple weapons of their cultures that slew hundreds in their wake, the Ghost Warrior's Migration Period Sword taking on the Dog Soldier's Flint Tomahawk.
Due to the similarities between the Migration Period Sword and the Viking's Longsword, from which it is descended from and very similar to, the panelists review the tape of its testing from the "Viking vs. Spartan" episode.
With the Flint Tomahawk being similar to the Apache's, the panelists review the tape of that weapon's testing from the "Apache vs. Ninja" episode.
Following both reviews it is time for the panel to make its decision.
"As it was in the case of the 'Tomahawk vs. Ninjato' match up, the tomahawk can be used effectively in both short and ranged combat, yet the sword gives you the options of hacking, slashing and stabbing. My edge goes to the sword," Geoff started.
"Again as it is with all thrown weapons there is always the possibility of missing your target. If that happens you have effectively disarmed yourself. I also couple this with the sword's superior materials and the Dog Soldier's inferior armor compared to his opponent's. My edge goes to the sword," Mack seconded.
"I wanted to like the tomahawk for its speed and simplicity, but yet the sword outreaches it and offers more options, edge sword," Dr. Dorian concluded.
In short range weapons, the Germanic Ghost Warrior takes the edge with the Migration Period Sword.
Coming up, a reliable buffalo killing lance squares off with a deadly spear the spilled gallons of Roman blood all over the German frontier.

The time has now come for both warriors to unleash their mid-ranged arsenal. Up first will be the Ghost Warrior with the Framea.
"The Framea was an iron Germanic spear that could be used like a traditional thrusting spear, a projectile, or even as a long shafted sword thanks to the Germanic's unique way of using it. It was 6 feet long and weighed 2 pounds," weapons maker Dave Baker explained.
"Rather than straight forward thrusting, Germanic warriors would swing their spears in large circular motions, letting it spin around their head while slowly letting the spear slide further down their hand. It would give them the advantage of catching their enemy off guard by allowing the spear to strike further outward than expected," Jerry explained before demonstrating the technique for the panel.
To show off the Framea's capabilities, Jerry will be attacking a ballistic gel torso outfitted in the Dog Soldier's bone pipe breastplate. He will be given both a projectile and slashing attack.
"On 3...2...1, attack!" Geoff called out.
Jerry tossed the spear forward and it easily punched its way through the bone pipe breastplate and into the target's abdomen. He ran over to retrieve the spear and swung it around his head before slamming the sharpened edge into the torso's neck before swinging it around to the other side, decapitating the dummy.
Dr. Dorian made his way over to assess the damage, "Your first shot was into the dead center of the body, where you would hit the aorta for an instant kill. The second strike managed to slice into the target's neck by a few inches, deep enough to sever the carotid artery and jugulars for a quick, messy kill. Your last strike hacked into an already nearly severed neck for a decapitation and another would have been instant kill."
"What do you think?" Geoff asked looking over to Hank.
"I'm not bothered at all. My lance can outreach his spear by a long shot. He can do all the fancy swinging around he wants, but if my lance can go through a buffalo with such ease, then it would be the same thing for some big painted Trick-or-Treater, one shot and he's gone," Hank replied.
The Dog Soldier answers the challenge with the Buffalo Lance.
"The buffalo lance was almost identical to the Comanche war lance, also equipped with a long, curved iron blade to puncture deep whether it be buffalo or human. It was 8 feet long and 5 pounds in weight," Dave explained.
"We've seen a weapon similar to this tested before, but never against chainmail armor," Geoff said motioning towards another gel torso outfitted in the Ghost Warrior's chainmail, "and since this will be an infantry battle, Hank you will attack from foot."
"Fine by me," Hank replied getting into position.
"On 3...2...1, attack!"
Hank launched himself forward and shot the lance through the target's chest, yet struggled to pull it out before he finally managed to do so with a mighty yank.
Dr. Dorian made his way over to assess the damage, "Your lance managed to pierce the armor and go through the heart, then the spine and poking through his back for an instant kill."
"Looks to long and unwieldy to me. You look like a bull in a china shop when you're not using that on horseback. I think the Ghost Warrior would find his way around it and cut your man down," Jerry replied.
"It did what it's supposed to. It's a lance and I ran it through my opponent instead of dancing around," Hank responded.
Both weapons have shown off their killing abilities, but where do our panelists stand?
"The buffalo lance has one simple use and that is to be a spear. The Framea is too complicated and flimsy to be used as a sword. Edge buffalo lance," Geoff started.
"I have to disagree given the Germanic tribes' skill with their spears in small scale combat. This is also an infantry battle, so the lance would be less effective. Edge Framea," Mack countered.
"I have to agree with Geoff. The Framea may have a dual purpose, but in a battle like this it's one simple use that trumps overly sophisticated methods. Edge buffalo lance," Dr. Dorian concluded.
In mid-ranged weapons, the Cheyenne Dog Soldier takes the edge with the Buffalo Lance.
Coming up, things go to long range when a simple throwing axe is pitted against a staple of Native American warfare.
Then later on, two titans of guerrilla warfare clash for the first time ever on the battlefield.

The time has come for both warriors to attack from afar. Up first will be the Ghost Warrior with the Francisca Axe.
"The Francisca was a universal weapon among the Germanic people during late Roman and early Medieval Europe. It was angled on the head and shaft so that it was guaranteed to hit with the axe's head when thrown. It was just over a foot long and over a pound in weight," Dave explained.
The panel congregates at an outdoor range where Jerry stands before a table lined with axes.
"We want to see what kind of damage your axe can do and we've given you ten of them to test out against 5 charging Dog Soldiers," Geoff said motioning to where 5 foam targets had been set up, "They've each been set up 20 yards downrange, two of them with the Dog Soldier's buffalo hide shield positioned in front of them and the one in the center outfitted in his bone pipe breastplate. Again, you've got 10 tries. Make them count."
Jerry nodded and picked up an axe, getting into position.
Drawing back he tossed the first axe only for it to strike one of the shields and bounce off. He reached for the second axe and tossed it, again bouncing off the edge, yet leaving a noticeable dent in the buffalo hide surface. He grabs the third axe and chucks it, this time striking the second from left target in the chin. The fourth axe is grabbed and he strikes the farthest left target in the throat. He grabs his fifth axe and goes for the center target, striking it just above the left eye. He reaches for his sixth axe and hurls it at the one second from right, sinking it into its right shoulder. He grabs his seventh axe and tries to strike the only untouched target, but connects with the shield in front of it. With three shots left he grabs the eighth axe and manages to bury it in the side of its face. Grabbing the ninth axe he chucks it into the covered chest of the center target, breaking the bones and penetrating. Down to his last one he hurls it at the throat of the second from right target.
Dr. Dorian made his way over to assess the damage, "Out of all your shots that connected, your first blow caught this guy in the chin to split his jaw in half and deep enough to kill. Your center target got it just above the eye for another instant kill. Your sixth shot is crippling this guy's arm, but not a kill. He does however take another strike to the throat for an instant kill. The last guy gets it in the side for a lot of pain, but no kill, but your next shot gets it in the side of the face to both maim and kill your target."
He then made his way to the center target and lifted the remnants of the breastplate, "The bone surface does nothing to protect this guy. All in all, we've got 5 dead guys here."
"But again you are severely out ranged and lacking the accuracy. The Dog Soldier's self bow would cut your guy down where he stands," Hank replied.
"That's if he could even spot him to begin with. Keep in mind the Ghost Warrior was nearly invisible in the darkness. He could easily sneak up on the Dog Soldier and get a good shot in on him before he even knew what hit him," Jerry answered.
To determine the capabilities of the Dog Soldier's Self Bow, the team reviews tapes of the Comanche's bow and arrow, which was similar in many ways to the Cheyenne's.
After reviewing both tests the panel comes to its decision.
"I'm with the self bow all the way. It has the range and it has the simplicity," Geoff started.
"The bow is simpler to aim, fire and reload, whereas the Francisca requires greater strength, accuracy and the user to be closer to his target in order to be effective, edge self bow," Mack seconded.
"Agreed, think of all the stamina one could use up trying to throw an effective distance. My edge goes to the bow," Dr. Dorian concluded.
In long range weapons, the Cheyenne Dog Soldier takes the edge with the Self Bow.
Coming up, a skull splitting war club takes on the machete of the ancient world.
XXXXXX
The time has now come for both warriors to unleash their special weapons. Up first will be the Dog Soldier with the Gunstock War Club.
"The gunstock war club was a blunt weapon used by several native tribes that could drop a man or buffalo in one deadly swing. It drew its name from its shape similar to the wooden stock of muskets and rifles of the time, believed to be used for a psychological advantage against rival tribes in battle. In addition, it also possessed two 3 inch long spear points positioned near the elbow of the club to heighten the lethality. It was 3 feet long and weighed up to 9 pounds," Dave explained.
"It was mainly for use on foot and for melee combat, but it could also be thrown," Hank explained showing off his war club.
To test the war club's killing power, the team has set up two pig carcasses, one for demonstrating the blunt attacks and the other for attacks with the spike.
"When you are ready, attack!" Geoff called out.
Hank swung his club into the first pig's side with a thunderous crack before swinging it onto the other side. With noticeable damage inflicted he then brought it down onto the pig's skull for one final, devastating blow. He then made his way over to the second pig and swing the spike end into its chest before tearing it out in a gruesome display that sent a torrent of blood cascading from the gash. He then struck the pig in its neck to tear it open before delivering a hard swing that sent bone fragments sticking out. Drawing back he went for a final swing into the pig's midsection that tore out a few strands of intestine along with it.
"My f-cking God that was brutal!" Mack gasped in surprise as Dr. Dorian went over to assess the damage.
"I'm just thankful I'm not going up against somebody carrying this in battle. Man that would be scary to be on the receiving end of," Dr. Dorian commented before feeling the first battered carcass, "Your first strike is breaking ribs, not a kill, but a lot of pain for your opponent. The other side is the same result, plus hard enough to contuse the lung beneath. This guy would be crippled for sure. Your last blow is a split skull for an instant kill."
He then made his way over to the second carcass, "Your strike from the spike pierced the pig's lung for a mortal wound. You however inflicted additional trauma as you tore it out, which will lead to a rapid bleed out and a kill. With your stab to the neck you are piercing the trachea for an instant kill and the following swing would have been an instant kill," he concluded gesturing towards the exposed bone fragments.
"You oughta be feeling a little intimidated now, right?" Mack asked Jerry.
"Not at all," he scoffed, "My weapon brings superior metallurgy and lethality, plus greater speed."
The Ghost Warrior answers the challenge with the langseax.
"The langseax was similar to the modern day machete, only with a straight blade opposite of a curving back to give it a sharp point. It was 24 inches long and weighed 2 pounds," Dave explained.
To test the amount of damage the langseax can inflict, a ballistic gel torso has been set up and Jerry will be given 15 seconds to inflict as much damage possible.
"Jerry, are you ready?" Geoff called out.
"Yeah!" Jerry called back standing with his langseax at the ready.
"On 3...2...1, attack!"
Jerry launched himself forward stabbing into the target's stomach and going all the way through. He pulled it out and then stabbed into the chest, the blade stopping at the shoulder blade. He pulled out again and brought it down onto the dummy's collarbone. Still not finished, he brings the blade down and cuts diagonally into the skull making its way down to the left eye. Drawing back for one final strike he strikes the target in the neck, cutting all the way into the spine before Geoff calls out "Time!"
Dr. Dorian made his way over for the final assessment, "Your first strike is cutting all the way through to the kidney; a very nasty kill at its finest. Your second strike manages to hit the heart and left lung in one blow for another instant kill. Next you cut his collarbone in two for a rapid bleed out and another kill. After that you delivered a shot to the skull that generated over 300 psi for an instant skull fracture, followed by cutting into his brain and that was followed by a near decapitation, both are instant kills."
Both special weapons have shown off the brutal killing methods that made them popular amongst their users, but where do our panelists stand?
"We are dealing with weapons that have multiple options here, but I like the langseax for its greater armor penetrating capabilities," Geoff started.
"I have to disagree and give it to the gunstock war club. I was impressed by the devastating amount of blunt force trauma it can dish out. If it can kill a buffalo with such great ease in one swing, then that's all I need to know," Dr. Dorian countered.
"I'm with the langseax. It has greater speed, greater freedom of movement and can pierce armor more easily," Mack concluded.
In special weapons, the Germanic Ghost Warrior takes the edge with the langseax.
Coming up, our panelists gauge the warriors' X-factors and then for the first time ever, two titans of guerrilla warfare clash on the battlefield for the right to be called 'The Deadliest Warrior.'
XXXXXX
And now Mack will gauge the x-factors of each warrior.
"We will start things out with training and these are two warriors that employ guerrilla style tactics, but the Germanic trained from the youngest possible age forth similar to the Spartans, Samurai and other warrior cultures. We rated him higher with an 84 to the Dog Soldier's 81."
"Next is ferocity and these are two warriors fighting fiercely to preserve their ways of life and destroy all who would invade their homeland. We rated them even with an 88 each."
"For endurance, the Dog Soldier hails from a harsher climate, but has suffered devastation after devastation in terms of famine and plague, whereas the Ghost Warrior trained from an early age. We gave the Ghost Warrior an 86 to the Dog Soldier's 79."
"For physicality, again the Germanics are big guys who were reported to have possessed a ridiculous strength that made them well feared in combat, whereas the Dog Soldier could be weakened at times by famine and plague. The Ghost Warrior gets an 89 to the Dog Soldier's 80."
"Finally, we factor in intimidation and the Ghost Warrior takes this hands down. What can be more terrifying than a night raid where you are attacked by someone made nearly invisible by head-to-toe black camo and you not knowing they are there until they are literally on top of you? Can't think of much. We gave the Ghost Warrior a 94 to the Dog Soldier's 83."
Our scientists and weapons experts are done testing the results and the time has come to decide who will be the victor. To ensure the battle won't be decided by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated one thousand times in a duel to the death.
Who will prevail in a battle between two fierce guerrilla warriors?
IN THE END THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
XXXXXXXXXX
All is silent in the northern German forest as dusk settles in.
A lone Dog Soldier from the Cheyenne tribe has just made a fire and is now preparing a snared rabbit for dinner. He and a band of his brothers have made their way into a new land, yet he was separated from the rest of them following an encounter with some mysterious men in bronze armor. He will find them again soon enough, but for now he is forced to set up camp.
Unknown to him, a Germanic Harii is watching him from beneath the shade of a pine tree, his skin painted black, along with his shield, armor and weapons. He stares intently upon the invader, able to tell he is not another Roman legionary. Nevertheless, he must be dealt with for treading upon his land.
The ghost warrior readies his weapons and makes his approach, careful to stay at a distance to avoid the glow emitted by the campfire that would give away his position. He readied a Francisca throwing axe as he drew nearer and mentally prepared his shot. Getting closer he drew his arm back ready to throw.
The Dog Soldier has just dug into his meal and is savoring the results of his hard fought kill when he suddenly heard the snapping of a twig from nearby and drew his self bow, pointing it in all directions. He was surrounded by trees and brush and knew whoever nearby was lurking amongst them.
He listened intently for movement, only hearing the whistling of the nighttime breeze, the gentle ruffling of the branches above, and the crackle of flames.
A sudden rustle came from behind and the Cheyenne warrior turned around firing an arrow into the brush, only to hear a small 'thwack' as it struck the wood beyond.
It was nothing and the Native American warrior grunts in frustration, about to return to his meal when he hears a loud chop come from behind and he whirls around to find an axe buried in the tree behind him. He looks ahead and turns to find another projectile flying towards him, but he barely moves in time.
Someone is on the attack and he draws his bow and fires an arrow into the darkness. Under the swath of moonlight he can see a form darting to the right and he quickly fires another arrow before loading another and shooting on instinct. He hears nothing more and decides to investigate, scooping up his buffalo hide shield and other weapons before setting out.
The Ghost Warrior lurks nearby, pulling one of the arrows out of his chain-mailed shoulder with a stifled grunt. Seeing the strangely dressed man stalking further into the woods he readies his shield and framea as the native draws nearer, light shining off the tip of the man's lance.
The Dog Soldier carefully inches forth, unable to make out any footprints in the darkness and the moonlight mostly obscured by the canopy above. He has his buffalo lance in one hand and his shield in the other. He almost feels as if he is being watched and stops halfway through to inspect his surroundings again, the shrouded figure he sought earlier drawing close inches from unsheathing , ready to chop the man's head off.
Feeling the warm breath upon him the Dog Soldier whirls around to be met by a pair of menacing eyes and he instinctively raises his shield, just in time to find a blade caught in its side before finding himself kicked backward.
The Cheyenne warrior regains his bearings to find a shadowy giant standing over him, the wild-haired man's skin painted black like some kind of demon. With an bestial roar the man goes for another swing with his sword, but the Dog Soldier again blocks his blow with his shield and attempts to stab him with his lance, yet his blow is deflected by the man's own shield.
The Ghost Warrior shouts at his smaller opponent as he goes for another swing with his sword, but the Dog Soldier again dodges him and attempts to stab him with his buffalo lance, but he isn't able to get a good view of his opponent due to his dark camouflage and only manages to graze his side, breaking off a few rivets, but otherwise doing no significant damage.
The Germanic giant swings his sword again and manages to cut the buffalo lance in half, but the Dog Soldier is quickly reaching for his gunstock war club, raising his shield in time to block another blow. With the man's sword caught in the hide surface he swings the club hard into the man's side, the iron point punching through the chainmail surface and cracking one of his ribs in the process. He swings again and manages to knock the sword out of his hands.
Temporarily disarmed, the Ghost Warrior retreats back to the tree he had been hiding behind, where he stashed his framea and manages to grab it just in time before the Dog Soldier can go for another swing of his club, bringing the spear up to parry the blow. Shooting his foot outward he again manages to create some space between himself and the Cheyenne before swinging the spear above his head and slicing into the man's exposed back, causing him to drop his shield.
The Dog Soldier winces through the pain and goes for another swing with the war club, which is blocked by the Ghost Warrior's oak shield before he swings the framea high again in an effort to slice his throat open, managing only to cut into his arm and force him to drop the club.
Letting out another roar that had terrorized many a Roman soldier in the past, the Ghost Warrior attempts to stab his Native American adversary, yet the Dog Soldier still has his flint tomahawk on hand and with some deft precision manages to hook the framea and keep it away from his face, locking both men into a back and forth test of strength that sees the Dog Soldier shoved backwards thanks to the shadowy man's greater strength, yet still managing to tear his spear away from him in the process.
Growling in frustration the Harii draws his langseax and dodges an overhead strike from the Dog Soldier's tomahawk, shooting his blade out and slicing into the smaller man's side.
The Cheyenne warrior grunts in pain, but is not out of the fight and forces himself back to his feet, his tomahawk in one hand while holding his bleeding side with the other. He looks into the giant's gleaming eyes and shows no fear, even as the man let out another inhuman howl and charged him with his black-painted blade raised above his head. Gathering his strength he charged head on right back at him.
Charging at full speed the two men met each other halfway, the Ghost Warrior's langseax piercing the Dog Soldier's bone pipe breastplate.
The Cheyenne warrior sags to his knees and looks up to the Germanic giant standing tall over him, his eyes gleaming in delight as he brings the langseax down in one last powerful swing and severs the native's head from his shoulders.
Picking up the Dog Soldier's severed head he raises it high over his head and shouts to the nighttime skies in victory.

Winner: Germanic Ghost Warrior
Germanic Ghost Warrior:
Migration Period Sword: 116
Framea: 266
Francisca Axe: 3
Langseax: 156
Total: 541
Cheyenne Dog Soldier:
Flint Tomahawk: 60
Buffalo Lance: 166
Self Bow: 188
Gunstock War Club: 45
Total: 459
In a battle of two guerrilla warriors, the Germanic Ghost Warrior would emerge victorious thanks to his superior spear skills managing to get around the Dog Soldier's weaponry. The Dog Soldier however proved a formidable challenger thanks in part to the superiority of his self bow, making it the second most deadly weapon tested in the entire simulation.
"The Ghost Warrior won due to him having the better spear skills that made Germanic warriors famous in addition to having the superior armor, better training from an earlier age, and all around more lethal weaponry. His night raiding guerrilla tactics coupled with his all black camouflage gave him a better psychological edge in combat and thus he was able to strike before his enemy even knew it, or surprise his enemy long enough to leave him wide open," Geoff concluded.
(Morning has arrived and the Dog Soldier's comrades have arrived at the site of the fateful battle, only to find their brother's severed head nailed to a tree and his flint tomahawk protruding from the wood beneath it.)

Author's Notes: And so concludes yet another installment of "Season H!"
I've been brainstorming a lot of ideas like crazy and I've got a few ideas set in stone and this will be the exact order of my next series of battles:
Saladin vs. Timur the Lame
Kublai Khan vs. William the Conqueror
Hernan Cortes vs. Napoleon Bonaparte
S.W.A.T. vs. R.A.I.D.
Navy SEAL vs. Spetsnaz
These next fights are also set in stone to happen, but I don't know in what exact order I will put them:
Duke of Wellington vs. Andrew Jackson
Zachary Taylor vs. Ulysses S. Grant
George Washington vs. Frederick the Great
Ashigaru vs. Hessian
Ramesses II vs. Shaka Zulu
Babur the Great vs. Francisco Pizarro
Ivan the Terrible vs. Suleiman the Magnificent
I've also been playing "Assassin's Creed 3" lately and playing that game put me on a kick of wanting to include the British Regular (Redcoat) somewhere in this story and I'm thinking I will pit them against the Prussian Infantryman. I know they were allies who would have fought alongside each other in the Seven Years' War, but I don't think they ever faced each other directly. I could be wrong, but at this point this is how things will stand unless I can find another fair opponent for the British Regular.
Well I think that's all I have to say for now so until next time read and review! This is Metal Harbinger saying SPREAD THE SICKNESS, ONE MIND AT A TIME! \m/
