In the game's words
How to use it
The Wakina Rifle is an infantry unit with excellent range and damage, but relatively few hitpoints and a poor melee attack. They cannot stand long against tougher infantry or the cavalry units that close in on them. Wakina Rifles tend to do well against non-ranged infantry because they can cause a lot of damage while the enemy infantry close. They are effective against other infantry, but cavalry will mow down Wakina Rifles if they can get close.
History
Sometimes the Lakota had to fight on foot. It is not always possible to run someone down with your horse. On these occasions, they fought tenaciously and well. In general, the Lakota were known for their keen accuracy with their rifles.

How this is worked out
Each hit: damage × every multiplier that matches the target's types × (1 − the target's resist to that damage). Two ranged units trade shots; against a melee-only unit the better of ranged and melee is used. Damage per second = hit ÷ seconds between attacks.
Armies bought with the same resources fight by Lanchester's square law: strength = (resources ÷ unit cost)² × damage per second × hit points. Closing in: the side that shoots further fires while the other walks from that range to its own (melee: 0) at its walking speed without hitting back; the units lost on the way are taken off before the square law. The edge is how many times its spending the loser would need to draw. All matchups.
