Militia

Unit Description

These musket-armed troops are recruited to defend their own locality, not carry the war to an enemy's land.

Miltia or provincial troops are commonly held to be inferior to regular soliders and, although they are trained to use the same tactics as marching regiments of line, there is some truth in this assertion. Miltia are expected to act as reassuring presence,and sometimes as a police force in supressing local disturbances.

Historically, it was not unusual for militia to be locals recruited as part-time soldiers whilst retaining their day jobs and trades. In Britain, for example, service in the miltia was seen as a good idea: you not only looked very patriotic for volunteering, but you could not be sent overseas! For amibitous would-be officers, there was a hidden financial benefit to joining the miltia. A commander who could persuade his men to transfer to the army with him would not have to pay the cost of his regular commission.
