In the game's words
How to use it
The Mounted Rifleman is a heavy ranged cavalry mercenary. Mounted Riflemen are not especially durable, but compensate with high range and damage. They are particularly effective against infantry, but vulnerable to light ranged cavalry such as Dragoons.
History
The French Chasseurs – ‘Hunters’ – were experimental regiments, usually mounted, that were equipped in the aftermath of the French Revolution and swiftly became favorites of Napoleon Bonaparte. They saw distinguished action during the Napoleonic Wars, whether as the personal guard of the emperor, or in decisive maneuvers in combat, but suffered significantly from attrition as the conflict wore on. After Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1815, these regiments ceased to exist.
