Kazanshin's "Napolenic Showdown" Edges:

Short Range:

The cossack infantry saber is shorter, heavier and more curved. The Pattern Officer saber is longer, lighter and straighter. This gives the Cossack Saber an edge in slashing and the Officer Saber an edge in stabbing. I suppose I'll give this one an even rating.

However, should they get in melee, the boyanetted musket will give Mikhail the advantage.

Mid Range:

They've got the exact same weapons.

Long Range:

The Brown Bess has a range advantage and I'd argue its more accurate due ti its longer bore. If they get in melee combat, the bayonnet will give Mikhail the edge, but speaking purely of a gunfight, the Brown Bess has the adge.

Special:

The grenade packs 100x the punch the improvising tools of Mikhail. The tools are daily tools made weapons, while the grenade is a full-fledged weapon of war.

X Factors:

While logistics won't play a big role in a small scale battle like this, training and experience will definitely give the Redcoats a good advantage. This advantage is not a huge one however, as there's a lot of room for creativity to work in a small village setting like this.

Arguably Wellington

Overall Deadliest Warrior

This battle should go in favor of the English. They have a superior ranged game, can destroy obstacles with the grenades, are better trained and experienced, and can hold their own decently in melee combat. The melee oriented weapons of the Cossacks will be an important ally in this fight, as the Russians will be capable of engaging in hand-to-hand combat more easily in a small village with obstacles, but as soon as the redcoats get in an open ground, they can gun down a good portion of the Russians down.

Winner: 1st Duke of Wellington
