 * Melee: The 1796 Sabre has a heavier blade. Edge: Wellington
 * Rifles: The Springfield Rifle musket is uses a precussion cap for more reliable ignition and faster reloading, as well as a conical minie ball, which gave it superior ballistic performance and a more reliable accurate range, up to 400 yards, vs the 200 yard range of the Baker. Edge: Lee.
 * Artillery: The Congreve Rocket had a better range than the Coehorn.
 * X-Factors and overall: Lee's superior training and tactics, as well as his superior rifle technology, which will likely be the most important weapon in an infantry on infantry fight will win this battle for him.
