    Overview

    These men are a cut above the average line infantry regiment and they are often the lynchpin of a commander’s battle strategy. The presence of such men in the line of battle is enough to lift the hearts of all those around them, strengthening their determination to resist any enemy. A general can be confident that these men will hold, and he can base the rest of his strategy around that fact.

    The factors which lead a regiment to acquire an exalted position within its country’s military are hard to define: training and skill play their part, but in the main it is physical and mental endurance that keeps good men fighting even when the tide of battle is against them. A lucky few carry such strength within themselves, but others derive it from the proud martial traditions of their regiment. In Europe, the famous ‘vieux’ and ‘petits-vieux’ regiments of France have centuries of such history to call upon, whilst the various deeds of the British Coldstream Guards and Black Watch regiments reinforce the natural grit of the men in their ranks.

    Details

    The Infanterie Vieux should be used as any other guard infantry should. They can be relied upon to not break until near death and can inspire units around. It pivotal to place these units at position around the battlefield where they can inspire as many other neighbouring units as possible. Infanterie Vieux also have superior shooting stats and superior melee stats so can be placed in the center and can be ensure that any push to collapse the centre by the enemy will fail. Like the Infanterie Petit-Vieux, this unit also has a cap of 3 regiments.
