Pygmy Hippo's "Napoleonic" Edges

Short:The Infantry Sabre is shorter and heavier than the 1796 Pattern British Infantry Officer's Sword. It might be more readily available to all troops but that's about it. Edge:Wellington

Mid:They both use Flintlock Pistols. Edge:Stalemate

Long:The Brown Bess Musket has more range and is longer while the Model 1808 Musket might be lighter and has a bayonet. Edge:Wellington

Special:Improvised Melee Tools aren't going to beat a Grenade, no matter how primitive it is. Edge:Wellington

X-Factors:Mikhail Kutuzov takes Experience and Creativity while The 1st Duke of Wellington takes Training and Logistics. I'd say that Logistics is pretty much useless in a single fight and Training is countered by Experience. Edge:Kutuzov

Final Verdict:Despite Mikhail Kutuzov's superior X-Factors, he relies too much on melee weapons to win this fight. The 1st Duke of Wellington has him beat at range and has an explosive for killing off several troops at a time. He even has a better sword so it seems that the general who beat Napoleon is better than the general who turned the tide of the war.

Winner:The 1st Duke of Wellington
