Agrianian peltast vs Zulu impi

[JHG]

Zulu impi

Nothing can stop the mad attack of these ferocious tribesmen of South Africa.
Agrianian peltast

An underestimated supplement to the fearsome phalanxes of Macedonia, the peltasts are nonetheless ever ready for clobbering the enemy!

The Zulu gets several Assegai as well as his pictured kit. Battle arena is in a plains environment.

Well, the main differences here appear to be that the impi has the larger shield, but the peltast has somewhat better armour . Also, the impi's spear seems to be a bit longer, which should help if they get into melee combat at any point.

My guess is that the impi edges it.

I was sure the peltast would take this.

Any particular reasons why?

Mostly because they're better trained and their javelins are more portable. These are Agrianian peltasts which are battlefield units in the Macedonian army and would have similar degrees of training as the Pezhetairoi. The peltasts are also just as skilled and experienced as the Zulu. Admittedly, this match would be way closer than Zulu vs Spartan or something.
