User blog comment:Sidekickman/General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna vs José de San Martin/@comment-2228834-20120119000002

Let's see, the Flintlock pistol was very innacurate, could be used just once, and took a long time to reload. The sabre can be used over and over, but it was just good next to the opponent. The Musket has a range of about 200 meters, the spears two meters at best, but again, the Muskets could be used just once. The Horses is the best advantage, cannons could be hard to aim, and took time to reload, in a Cavalry charge they could take down a few men, but then they are dead. Basically, Santa Anna can take a few men of San Martin down, but if just one of the Cavalrymen survive and reach their target, then Santa Anna will loose. I give the final edge and vote to San Martin, but by a small margin.
