    Overview

    Europe is awash with exiles, the dispossessed that have taken up arms thanks to war, religious persecution and politics. Some fight to free their homelands and some because home is gone. A few fight for the romance of it all, and for glory and riches. All serve because it is a better choice than starving. Whatever their motives, expatriates are a useful source of men. If someone can carry a musket, there is a place in the ranks. There is always the suspicion that individuals who have turned their coats once may do so again, even though this is unfair to many. As a result, it is unusual for expatriates to serve under their own officers.

    Despite the fact that many in the ranks are intelligent enough to act as skirmishers, expatriate infantry carry smoothbore, muzzle-loading muskets and usually fight as line infantry. It is easier to maintain discipline in such units.

    Historically, expatriate infantry varied in quality. The Irish Catholic “Wild Geese” in French service fought well, especially against the English. The French Royalist “Chasseurs Britaniques” in the British army, did not relish battle and often deserted at the first opportunity.

    Details

    Bulkeley's Regiment are a Line Infantry unit available only to France and recruitable only in France itself. They are among some of the best Line Infantry Units in the game, fielding high combat statistics and very high morale. This means that they can be relied upon in the heat of battle. Bulkeley's Regiment should act as all Line Infantry units do; forming the backbone of the army and combating the enemy Lines. Due to their high statistics they will likely defeat most other Line Infantry units as long as the are not overwhelmed. However as with all Lien infantry, if they are not prepared and not in square formation when cavalry is charging, they will likely be defeated.
