I'm well aware that DW S3 is already underway when speaking of production, but I felt like tossing my own suggestions out into the public to, if nothing else, get a decent conversation going.
So far as I'm aware, there's going to be ten Episodes to this Season, and I'm hoping that they'll be split evenly for five Ancient and five Modern matches. I'm also aware of the supposed "confirmed" matches, which I won't recount here in case that you want to find them out for yourself (or because I think that they're poor matches... Schmuck Bait).
Now that I've got all of that out of the way, here's my suggestions for a Season III.
Ancient Warrior Matches
-Iroquois Warrior versus English Longbowman.
-Hannibal Barca versus Alaric the Bold.
-Inca Warrior versus Masai Warrior.
-Joan of Arc versus William of Normandy.
-Salah ah-Din versus Charles Martel.
Modern Warrior Matches
-Texan Rangers versus Canadian Royal Mounted Police.
-French Foreign Legion versus British Royal Gurkha Rifles.
-British Special Air Service (SAS) versus Joint Task Force 2 (JTF 2).
-Chinese Triads versus American Hell's Angels.
-Eliot Ness' Untouchables versus Heinrich Hemmler's Gestapo.
-I got thinking about other possible Modern Warrior suggestions, so I'll post them below this line in addition to those above it.
~American Secret Service Presidential Detail versus the Vatican Pontifical Swiss Guard.
~Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders versus Koos de la Rey's Boere Commandos.
Here at "Masters of Battle", I take two distinctive warrior-cultures (from fact or fiction) and evaluate their methods of combat in a rating system to determine which is the more effective. Backed by an altogether preposterous number of books, documentaries, and contemporary accounts, I quantify my data to get an idea of how each warrior ranks in my system. I then write a narrative conflict between the two in each match and post it on the Internet. I hope you enjoy your time here!

Being a Canuck myself I really like the match of Mounties vs Texas Rangers. Also fun are the Triads vs Hell's angels, I always love gangster battles.
ReplyDeleteBut my favorite matchup has to be the Untouchables vs the Gestapo. Let's see Herman try to take on men who can't be touched ;)
