The Americans have more reach, possessing a higher count of polearm fighters allows an upper hand in the initial faze of combat

The key to this is all the heavy tank guys on american side and the heavy long weapons they use to smash the other side and ram through like tanks.

Amazing.

This goes to show how badly portrayed armored combat is in nearly all movies created for theaters and TV viewing. The reality is armor stops all but the hardest of blows from having an effect and it isn't that easy to strike a gap in someone armor. The average blow into an armored opponent would not even have much of an effect. In real life a fully armored person would probably take many blows before being seriously injured.

I understand it to be a historical fact that two armies, with the same relative fighting skills, one with swords and the other with pole arms, the pole arms are gonna take the day, which is why pole arms were far more common as a primary weapon in the past, and the sword was historically considered a secondary weapon.

Usa have great Armour, they stylish. Is their a welsh team at all and how often is this event because I love it. Should be on tv all the time.

"there are no weapons which will make a difference"....well, a pole hammer or a maul might. I'm guessing there are rules though, since many are using swords, which are the worst choice possible against plate armor are they not?

If it were me, I'd have someone in command (let's call him 1 IC) and a second in command (let's call him 2 IC), with the commanders in back directing the men in front to swarm whichever opponent or two stray a bit too far away from his main group. I know it sounds better in theory than in practice, but there should be some kind of unit cohesion, direction and basic tactics, I think. But then again if you just want to have fun, I'd be in there going nuts, regardless of all that :)

I believe a good counter for England was at the beginning. They have charged in a single line and struck the right line hard with a small contingent of 5 men turning to the left contingent that was branches of the American side. If this was organized and timed correctly with an impactful charge, it could have been devastating.
