119's "With a Cause" Edges:


 * Swords: The two weapons are relatively similar, both being curved swords. While the disc-shaped pommel of the talwar might make it more difficult for a user unused to wielding the weapon to use it, the Sepoy would be used to wielding it and know the proper techniques. For this reason, I consider the two to be Even.


 * Revolvers: The Colt has a higher muzzle velocity, but the Beaumont-Adams was a double-action revolver, meaning it did not have to be cocked after each shot, giving it a higher rate of fire, but it had one less round in the cylinder. Both weapons have advantages and disadvantages, enough to Even out this match.


 * Carbines: Both weapons are single-shot rifles with a similar muzzle velocity, which would probably only be effective out to about 200 meters at most. For this reason, the higher caliber, more powerful Victoria Carbine wielded by the Sepoys takes the edge.


 * Special Weapons: The Sepoy's Cavalry Lance takes the definitive edge over the much shorter Arkansas Toothpick, and is generally a more suitable weapon for a fight on horseback.


 * X-Factors: The Sepoys were trained soldiers, with training modeled after the British Army system, on the other hand, the bushwhackers were raiders who mostly targeted civilians and militias, definitely not a regular army unit. They were less-well equipped than the Sepoys. While the Bushwhackers might get a slight edge in tactics and brutality, it must be noted that this was mostly directed against civilians or, at best, militias raised to defend civilian settlements, which were less well-trained than the regular army. For this reason, the Sepoys the edge.


 * Overall Winner: The Sepoy Mutineers takes this primarily for their superior training, as well as their slightly superior weapons.
