The militia I'm refering to is the numerous volunteer regiments which were less trained than regulars. Also Napoleon's artillery might have an impact on the outcome as they have twice as many, his cavalry whould also be a challenge for Lee as he had 50 less. Napoleon's tactics might also have had an influence on this battle, along with the fact that he had more rank and file men, cavalry, and artillery than Lee.
