Teh blog.

I am just gonna let past EA do the talking because he puts it better than me.

"I'm sorry, but I must declare this battle unfair. The Grande Armee is simply a much more modern army than the Musketeers, with the advantage of 200 to 150 years of superior technology (depending on which type of "Musketeer" you're referring to) and arguably better training and equipment. And the grenade vs. cannon comparison only exacerbates this issue. You also seriously exaggerate the Musketeer's skill with a musket - they were not snipers with the weapon any more than Napoleon's troops were (but Napoleon's Grande Armee did employ specialist sniper troops called Voltigeurs, so that further proves my "better trained" argument).

Also, many of the troops in the Grande Armee were musketeers themselves, because they used muskets, but that's kind of an aside."
