Grenzers (ETW Unit)

Grenzers are elite light infantry unique to Austria that are extremely useful in skirmishing against the enemy force.

Overview

Grenzers are, uniquely for elite light infantry, available only in military governor's barracks in minor regions and are unrecruitable in major cities.

As with most light infantry, grenzers can deploy stakes, hide in most terrain and use light infantry doctrine; similarly with other factions' elite light infantry, Grenzers require the Machined Rifling technology researched in order to be recruited. Unusually for elite light infantry, Grenzers have identical range to regular light infantry, making them the shortest-ranged light infantry units available to Austria along with Colonial Light infantry.

Grenzers, however, have a unique advantage: their double-barreled riles. These weapons essentially allow grenzers to lay twice as much firepower as any other light infantry equivalent, and also more firepower than any other infantry unit in an instant.
