User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Toussaint Louverture vs Yemelyan Pugachev/@comment-5232784-20120815235127

Okay:

1. both combatants are equal in firearms. However, while Toissaint has the advantage with the machete, he lacks against the Cossack saber. Long range often wins the day. I give the (Sleight) edge to Yemelyan here

2. Tactics/success: Toissaint led a eventually successful Haitian revolution against France, using both regular military methods of the time and guerilla tactics. Yemelyan led a rebellion that, though making good progress, ultimately failed. My Edge goes Toissaint.

3. other xfactors: While Yemelyan is better trained, Toissaint cominates in Leadership, combat experience, and intelligence as well as tactics. Toissaint gets three more edges

4. My Vote ultimately goes with Toissaint, due to better X-Factor qualities and near-equivalence weaponry (Yemelyan's edge in weapons is not by much).

Winnier: Toissaint

BTW: Will horses be used in the battle, on both sides?
