What would happen if Harry Flashman met Richard Sharpe? They would probably come up against each other sooner rather than later. But who would win. Flashman has dispatched many men like Sharpe in his illustrious career, and Sharpe himself has seen off many Flashy wannabees. Just never Flashy himself. Would Sharpe be up to the challenge, or would Flashy leave Sharpe in French captivity and make off with Mrs Sharpe?

I think Flashman has the edge.

Flash Gordon or Tarzan could take either of them any day of the week.

See Flashman would never go up against them in open battle, and Sharpe, well he would tear them both a new one.

So I disagree with you.

If they ever met... Flashman would probably mention this really good brothel he knew, Sharpe would reminisce and they'd finally both get some beers and get laid. Sharpe loosens up a bit after that and his career goes down the tubes, while Flashy gains the respect of the officer gentry by helping get rid of that upstart from the slums.
That's what I've pieced together from the wikipedia articles anyway. Can't say I'm acquainted with either of them.

Ah, you have become acquainted with good, old Flashy.

IMO Flashy would slip or something and Sharpe's shot would ricochet off of something and kill some bystander landing him in jail while Harry goes to the brothel.
