Keymonus Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Jiangkai, February 623 As new colonies are established more and more eastward, and the frontier of the Empire gets farther and farther from the motherland, the local recruitment of high-quality troops has become a paramount. Officers born in the colonies and trained in Breshaun military schools lead to the victory men who have never been in the motherland, for a king they’ll only see on coins and medals. In Jiangkai, this resulted in the recruitment of both line infantry and auxiliary light infantry: units equipped and trained according to Oleander military doctrines, but mostly made up of citizens of Lotii descent. On the same line, a unit of chasseurs was raised in the settlement. Despite the inclusion of some Lotii elements in the uniform, these skilled marksmen are equipped and trained as the other metropolitan or colonial light infantry units. Differently from the tirailleurs, the chasseurs know how to fight in a battle line, but they are far more effective in open formations: their role on the battlefield is not to face the enemy in a tight formation, but to aggressively pursue and flank him, shooting without fail with the lethal Charleville rifled carabines! This build will be used to raise a platoon of soldiers in Jiangkai. Edited February 27, 2023 by Keymonus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff of Clubs Posted February 28, 2023 Fun build. They have a good flavor to them! Good part choices! Looking forward to seeing them in action. Against the Lotii preferably... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Waagenaar Posted February 28, 2023 Excellent troops! I am certain they'll fight well, as long as they don't turn on Oleon, that is! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
