Army Combat - Deathstroke vs Captain America

I realize, fully, that Cap vs Deathstroke has been done before. However, it hasn't been done like this.

[Details]

1. Both combatants are in command of their own army.

2. Both armies are the same size; 1500 soldiers.

3. Each soldier is in top condition, and is at the peak of human performance without superhuman abilities.

4. Captain America has personally trained each of his soldiers in hand to hand combat, as has Deathstroke.

5. Battle takes place in an open field, devoid of animal life. There is a forest behind the starting point of each army.

6. For the purposes of this battle, Cap and Slade are not allowed to go into combat, but can rally and boost the moral of troops through telepathic communication. That is the furthest extent of any telepathy related to that.

7. Cap's army is led by Sabertooth (no healing factor), and Slade's is led by Kraven the Hunter.

8. Armies have been preparing for a month.

9. Battle is strictly hand-to-hand, but Sabertooth can use claws, while Kraven can use a single combat knife.

10. First army to completely eliminate the other is victorious.

Discuss!

Caps army

@highaccuser: Details/reasoning, if you don't mind~

In open combat Cap's side probably wins. Deathstroke would probably be better at like black ops / guerrilla warfare.

But battles like this is almost impossible to say for sure since its largely hypothetical.

Yeah, true enough. That's in most battles, though; a lot things can happen in the thick of it. Is it safe to assume you lean toward Cap's army?

@majorsparkman: Steve's more skilled and has actual experience training people with positive results(falcon for instance, was trained by Steve) so his army will probably be more skilled. Slade is overall smarter than Steve but doesn't have his military knowledge so I'd say his army will be better prepared tactically. Slades only advantage is that kraven is a much better general than sabertooth, but neither are really army leaders so most of the tactical advice will be coming from cap and slade.
