MilenHD's "Look at my horse, my horse is amazing!" edges

Rifles: Edge Light Horse: The SMLE easy. Outclasse the Mosin-Nagant in both power and have 5 more rounds, which is huge in 5 vs 5. Add the fact that on horse back the SMLE is better, plus let's not forget that is good for almost every terrain.

Revolvers: Edge Cossacks: I completly agree with MD33, the Nagant's slower reload time is a con, but one extra round is going to give it an edge over the Enfield n.2, which isn't an impresive revolver at all, also the further range of the Nagant is another pro for the Cossacks, which rival the Cowboys in shooting on horseback with revolvers.

Melee: Edge Cossacks: The Bayonet may be effective if it's attached to the rifle, but still cannot be compared to the shashka. Still a curved sword vs a small bayonet, easy win for the Cossacks.

Horse: Edge Cossacks: I cannot agree more with both you and MD33, the Waler is smaller and possibly lighter, but the Don is bigger, more adaptable, more durable and cannot exhaust in races that easily. Plus the Don can sustain from brutal winters to hot summers, while i can't say the same for the Waler.

Winner: Cossacks: They may lack in rifles, but in almost everything they are superior. They are better in training, brutality, endurance. Their horse is superior and faster. They served in both the Tsar's army and the Wehrmacht. They fought foes like the Turks and Mongols to even Lenin's Bolsheviks and Kaiser Wihelm's German soldiers. The Light Horse fought only the Ottoman Turks and i doubt if they can beat the Cossacks.
