Windbusche Jaegers (ETW Unit)

Windbusche Jaegers are elite light infantry unique to Austria in Empire: Total War.

Overview

Windbusche Jaegers are the Austrian functional equivalents of the riflemen available to nearly every other faction. Simply put, Windbusche Jaegers are the finest light infantry available to any faction. Although they have 25 percent less men than regular light infantry, they make up for this deficiency through their superiority. Unforunately, only two regiments of windbusche jaegers can be recruited at any time, meaning that Austria will have to rely heavily on grenzers, jaegers, and colonial line infantry for most of their armies. Jaegers also require their own unique technology (Airguns) in order to be recruited at all, making them truly specialized.
