This is going to be the toughest pick of the Season!
On one side you have the Mongols! Quick, try to think of something nice about the Mongols. You can't do it, can you. There is many nasty, bloody, stinky reason why. Oh, sure, you might have said they love horses. Sure they do, it's called mounted archery, they were unmatched at it.
On the other you have the Comanche. 1 of 2 Native tribes we didn't beat the crap out of.
Their weapons are going to be nearly the same in every detail. They both used bows from horses, they both fought from horses.
So it's going to come down to 1 thing,
The Era.
If it's post gun powder, the Comanches walk away with this one. B/c they went from stone to Winchesters in a matter of years of killing their first whitey.
If not, the Comanches are screwed. Stone weapons can not keep up with iron, let alone steal.
I can't find any info on what will be used in the fight, so I'll pull this outa my ass, just for fun.
SHORT RANGE
Mongol. Curved long sword
Comanche. Tommahawk
Advantage, Mongol. For the reach and 1 hit and the head comes off. If you look at the blood spray just right. Can you see a rainbow?]
MID RANGE
Mongol. Spear
Comanche. Spear
Advantage. Mongol (?) If it's an iron spear vs. stone
LONG RANGE
Mongol. Horn bow
Comanche. Wood bow or rifle
Advantage. Mongol, the horn bow is far better than wood. Comanche, it's a rifle for crying in your pool of blood!
What will the body count be? Will the Comanches collect lots of scalps to get feathers in their caps or will the Mongols kill everyone taller than a wagon wheel?
Out of 1000 computer battles,
Before guns; Mongols get 600 heads to hang from the trees.
After guns; Comanches get 800 scalps to make a tee-pee out of.
Sorry I missed last week. OS was blocked as a porn site, but I will make time to finish the season.

Their special skills could pull this off. Where have I been? OS is blocked as a porn site, I cant make that up. I would be on here when work was slow (we had permission), but somehow it got listed as porn.
Happy,
Good point. Thing is the Mongols were in the saddle LONG before they walked.
Jon,
Great to hear. Who do you think will win?
Sgt. Mom,
I did not know about the metal spears. That could change things. Still think the Mongols pull it off. The lariat wasn't the best of weapons, as demonstrated when they had the Huns on.
As some of you may have noticed, last night was re-runs, so I will post winners and losers next week.
Hope to post again before then! (hey, that rhymed)
Not buyin the porn story!
My hand to the Greater Intelligence, My job blocked OS, as porn. It happened right at the end of a new post. You know I would be here everyday otherwise.
Oh, I have started to harvest a few tomatoes.
