Chasseurs Britaniques, like most [[Light Infantry (ETW Unit)|Light Infantry]], have a superior range over [[Line Infantry (ETW Unit)|Line Infantry]]. As a result of this they should be used to harass the enemy lines and combat any enemy Skimshers. However Chasseurs Britaniques have a much lower morale than their Light Infantry counterparts and so, should not be relied on completely in the heat of battle. Furthermore as with most Light Infantry the Chasseurs Britaniques have low melee statistics meaning that they shouls avoid melee at all costs.

    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

    Chasseurs Britaniques, like most Light Infantry, have a superior range over Line Infantry. As a result of this they should be used to harass the enemy lines and combat any enemy Skimshers. However Chasseurs Britaniques have a much lower morale than their Light Infantry counterparts and so, should not be relied on completely in the heat of battle. Furthermore as with most Light Infantry the Chasseurs Britaniques have low melee statistics meaning that they shouls avoid melee at all costs.
