In reality , Caledonian Rhyfelwyrs' army would have slaughtered huge numbers the Aztec warriors .

The Aztecs' best and favorite weapons were obsidian edged wooden swords {imagine a thin cricket bat with slots on the leading edges which shards of carefully knapped obsidian were inserted} . Obsidian is glass . When glass {volcanic or otherwise} impacts hard steel , the glass shatters .

The only weapons they had even remotely suitable for combating foes who wear steel plate were stone headed maces {depending on what type of stone was used , some would also shatter on steel} which would still have been much inferior to the steel headed ones plate armour was designed to resist .

There has been suggested that Atlatl launched darts were good against plate , however the projectiles were still tipped with stone or bone which is again likely to shatter on steel and if they truely were all that lethal to plate , the Spanish Conquistidores would have been wipped out by massed volleys of them , which history shows did not happen . Likely , the weapon could sometimes penetrate with a perfect strike from a perfect angle and this was blown out of proportion by the Spaniards whom were by then used to being nigh invunerable to native weapons .



Personally , I think the Aztecs need a reverse of the ap function , where armour has twice its' value and to ballance this give them larger numbers plus atlatls {javlin mechanics with longer range would do , but still double armour verses them} in good numbers .
