Been grinding out the unit cards, France should be done tomorrow night.
And Now for the beginning of the Elite Unit Previews:
3er régiment d'infanterie de ligne
This is the Mount & Blade Napoleonic Wars Regiment I am apart of. I could not find actual history for the regiment but for the rest of the Elite Units Pack I shall.
The French fusiliers were the backbone of Napoleon's army. Its men were conscripted at the age of 20 to 25, many of which served over very long periods of time. Armed with the muzzle-loading smoothbore musket they were able to fire three volleys per minute. Their uniform consisted of a dark blue coat, white breeches with black knee-length gaiters and a felt shako. These men were very well trained. As far as marching and manoeuvring speed is concerned, the French Fusiliers had no equal. Their steadiness while under enemy fire was also impressive. Speed of movement was crucial for Napoleon; he often said that: "I won because of my soldiers' boots". Still, even though the French line infantry marched fast, they were not as disciplined during march as some of the German-speaking armies.
