Cossacks And Australian light Horse, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G...

1. Rifle

Both rifles have the same range, but the SMLE has ten bullets to the Mosin's pitiful 5, and fires at a faster rate. Both of these gives the Australian Light Horse a considerable edge.

EDGE: Australian Light Horse

2. Revolvers

The Nagat has more range and an extra bullet over the enfield. This is not too major of an advantage (and doesn't make up for the major disadvantage in the rifle section), but it is something of note. The Enfield has a faster rate of reload, but the 2 to 1 advantage (range and ammo vs reload time) gives this to the Cossacks.

EDGE: Cossacks!

3. Melee

The Shashka has twice the length of the bayonet, but the bayonet can be put onto the rifle to give it extra reach. Still, the Shashka's greater cutting edge is considerable, and will be less bulky and clumsy to use than a rifle with a bayonet on the end. Speed will prove crucial, and the Shashka will be faster than the bayonet-rifle combo.

EDGE: Cossacks!

4. Horses

The Russian Don is larger, stronger and more intimidating than the Australian Waler. Its greater size makes for a better target, but if these horses clash, the Russian Don will overcome its smaller foe. Plus, the Russian Dons are better adapted to the climate of the battlefield.

EDGE: Cossacks!

5. X-Factors

The Cossacks dominate in brutality, experience and rival the Australian light horse in adaptability. This gives the Cossacks a considerable advantage, perhaps enough to overcome their disadvantage with rifles.

Edge: Cossacks!

The Cossacks dominate in all but one category; rifles. Cossacks are superior in experience and brutality, they have the better horses, melee weapons and revolvers. Compared to their foes, they are kigns of close quarters battle. yet the Australians have such a major advantage in the long range department that it will be hard for the Cossacks to close in and finish off their Australian opponents. Still, considering their experience, they could have the knowledge and savvy to pull it off, and they still heavily dominate in most  weapons. It will be very close, but due to experience, better horses and mostly better weaponry, the Cossacks win

COSSACKS TURN AUSTRALIAN LIGHT HORSE INTO GLUE      !!!!!!!
