In the game's words
How to use it
The Landwehr is an unique German ranged infantry unit that can replace the Crossbowman if the Scharnhorst Reform card has been sent. Like the Crossbowman, this unit costs only wood and food making it affordable even in greater numbers. The Landwehr inflicts less bonus damage than the Crossbowman, but deals higher base damage instead. This allows the unit to be used a bit like a Musketeer, a unit that is not available to the Germans. Despite this similarity, Landwehrs have low hit points and are particularly vulnerable to cavalry.
History
The Landwehr was a new type of conscript army that became common in German states during the early 19th century. The German word “Landwehr” can be translated as “Territorial Defense”. In the Napoleonic Wars the German standing armies suffered great losses, which they could not compensate for quickly enough. German soldiers were first defeated by Napoleon's army and then forcibly recruited into it. To make up for the loss of professional soldiers various states started in the years 1813-1815 to mass conscript men aged 17 to 40 fit for military service. Prussian General Gerhard von Scharnhorst already created a rapidly trained military reserve through his designed Krümper system in 1808 that allowed the Prussian army to increase its mancount. His reforms are therefore generally considered to have laid the groundwork for the Landwehr armies and eventually the introduction of compulsory military service. The quality of training and equipment varied greatly between the German states and it was not uncommon for conscripts to lack basics such as shoes or muskets. Despite these obvious deficits the Landwehr was treated as an integral part of the army and featured characteristic subdivisions such as line infantry, light infantry, and cavalry.
