GT25's Edges

Close Range (Talwar vs. Light Cavalry Saber): I'd have to call this even. While the Talwar is slightly longer, there isn't anything else to really compare. The Light Cavalry Saber seems less curved than the Talwar, but consider this is most likely a cavalry battle, I think both are equally deadly. Edge: Draw

Medium Range (Beaumont-Adams Revolver vs. 1851 Colt Navy Revolver): To be honest, I'm going to give the Colt the edge here. Yes, the Beaumont-Adams is a double-action revolver, but the Colt has an extra bullet and a higher muzzle velocity in comparison. To me, the extra bullet and greater muzzle velocity is better to have compared to the revolver being a double-action. Edge: Confederate Bushwhackers

Long Range (1851 Victoria Carbine vs. 1861 Enfield Musketoon): I actually like this comparison since it's the first time I've seen someone use the Musketoon, or the carbine version of the musket, on this site for their battles. Even so, I'm going to have to give this to the 1851 Victoria. While it's a decade behind in terms of technology, it's slightly longer barrel means that it will have a bit more range and it fires the larger round. Edge: Sepoy Mutineers

Special Weapons (Cavalry Lance vs. Arkansas Toothpick): Unlike the other categories, this one is rather easy to call. While the Arkansas Toothpick gives the Confederates a back-up weapon up close, the Lance would be better suited for a cavalry battle. Edge: Sepoy Mutineers

X-Factors: Starting off, it's the Sepoy's 72 to the Confederate's 73. Perhaps two most important factors to me are traning and logistics, which the Sepoy have massive advantages in. The only major advantage the Confederates have is brutality, which isn't always going to make you win a match. While the Confederates also have tactics, both sides are rather close compared to the other factors meaning that it may not be that major in the battle and their averages are very close. So, with this category relying on the warrior with the better advantages, the Sepoy's better training and logistics gain them the edge. Edge: Sepoy Mutineers

Overall: Alright, this match is rather lopsided, but not by much. Really, would be surprised if the Confederates win since I find the Sepoy Mutineers to be the superior warrior in this match. The Sepoy have a logistical advantage compared to the Confederates and their weapons are simply better for a cavalry battle, which I'm assuming this is. The only weapon that gives the Confederates an advantage is their revolver, but that's not saying much compared to the Sepoy's carbine and lance. In addition, the Sepoy are simply better trained and would be able to contend with the brutality shown by the Confederates since they've battled against what was at the time one of the world superpowers compared to the farmers and towns that the Confederates normally fought.
