Crossbows are actually really difficult to use. You have to build up alot of muscle in your arms and such, Men who used them had alot of training from quite a young age generally.
actually, thats the longbow you're thinking of. crossbows were issued to peasant warriors so they wouldn't get slaughtered when forced onto the battlefield. I would know, I did a term paper on medieval weaponry

Bastard sword plus shield. I'd use it to protect from archers until I got close enough to fight my enemies, then ditch it.

a sword and a shield, because I couldn't hit anything with a bow and it's nice to be able to block attacks.

A polearm. More specifically a Halberd. It's got reach, to keep you far away from the other bastards, a pointy bit at the end to stick into footsoldier bastards opposite you, a cutting bit to hack away at armoured bastards, and a hooky bit for bastards on horseback.

A weapon for the rabble :)

BDA: Big Damn Axe
I'm strong enough to swing one with devastating force, so I'll take an axe and iron plated jock strap. That's all I need

i have no training so i'd have a pike. a pikeman can be trained in about an hour.as long as i could keep up with my pike team i'd be fine.

Fantasywise: I would go DualWielding Shields, thats right! TWO SHIELDS.
I'll be the tankiest of all tanks.

Fo real? There's a reason why the Sord n board is the most used type...

I would dual weild sheilds and just run at people... If I don't freak the crap out of people, I'll make a great distraction...

I don't even have to get my hands dirty...

I really enjoy the idea of a halberd, if only because I like GuanDaos.

However I'd go with a longbow for the survivability (not counting when the enemy does flanking maneuvers).

I've got it, sorcery. I'm a wizard. I can actually go around pointing at people making weird sounds, I say I'd get about 30 or 40 people before they lock me away.

Sword and shield, or perhaps a bow... a bow would be nice, seeing there'll a bunch of meat-shields behind you and the bad guys, and in case they die, surrendering is a valid option.
