Washington never used a Hatchet. That cherry tree story was made up by a man named Mason Parson Weems and it was to give America some legends of its own... and even if it Washington did use a Hatchet it wouldn't have been for combat.

Most of Washington's army, the Continental Marines, were horribly equipped and even Napoleon's God-awful muskets would have been a dream come true to them. Only a few wealthy and well-trained backwoods sharpshooters used Kentucky Long Rifles.

If this is squad-on-squad Napoleon should win simply because his men are better trained, equipped, and are nourished (unlike Washington's shoeless and starving soldiers). I voted for Washington only because the weapons you presented put him in clear favor. A little bit of research could have gone into this.
