User blog comment:Undead RVD/Russian Cossacks vs 7th Cavalry Regiment (Corrected)/@comment-379205-20120814002629

119's "Little Bighorn Part II" Edges:
 * Swords: The Shashka is, at least according to the other users, heavier than the Model 1860, giving it greater slashing ability. Edge: Cossack


 * Pistols: The Colt Single Action Army has larger, more powerful round with greater knock down power and a longer range, while the Nagant has a faster rate of fire and an extra round. For this, I call this even


 * Rifles: While the Henry has a large mag, the Mosin-Nagant's high velocity, longer ranged round takes this as it allows to the Cossack to strike from long range more accurately and with greater force than the Henry. Edge: Cossack.


 * X-Factors: While the 7th Cavalry are slightly better trained, the Cossacks take three edges in horsemanship, team loyalty, and stamina. For that, I give the edge to the Cossacks.


 * Overall Winner: I give this match to the Cossacks for their superior weaponry and horsemanship. Like at Little Bighorn, in this battle, the 7th were outgunned by a highly skilled enemy with superior weaponry. It is of note, however that the Cossacks in this match appear to be about twenty years ahead in technology, i.e. 7th Cavalry circa 1880 vs Cossacks circa 1900.
