#ULTIMATE GENERAL CIVIL WAR FULL#
This kind of troops appeared in the era of the Napoleonic wars, but they began to use it in full scale only with the advent of reliable and accurate rifles. Skirmishers are a chain of shooters that operate in sparse orders. So they suffer less losses in return fire, plus increased mobility and tactical flexibility. The game distinguishes between two types of light infantry: allocated from the brigades, and separately formed.Įach infantry brigade can select from itself up to 250 (depending on the number) skirmishers – for this there is a corresponding button on the panel. I advise you to definitely do this. One such detachment can conduct reconnaissance, fire at the enemy from the forest, organize raids on convoys, and simply destroy the enemy’s morale by entering from the flank and rear. The only problem is the same brigade soldiers, with appropriate training and weapons.
The rest of the brigades can be diluted with newcomers, because it is much easier to teach a village guy to shoot on command in the direction of the enemy. Two of these died, the third became a veteran. These units will rarely go to storm, mainly firing from cover, or supporting allies with fire. You can arm them with trophy trinkets or generally requisitioned farm guns. Their main task is to take fire on themselves, pin down the enemy along the front, while the assault units break the flanks.
This is the backbone of your divisions and corps. An infantry brigade may consist of a minimum of 500 men and a maximum of 2,500 bayonets. You can equip it with a wide variety of fittings, ranging from ancient, like mammoth shit, farm muskets and ending with modern rifles. Moreover, you need to carefully study the tactical and technical properties of this diverse arsenal, since one barrel can be accurate enough, or quickly rechargeable, but at the same time fragile enough to properly cut into the skull of the enemy with the butt.īased on this, specialized assault brigades should be formed, designed for severe hand-to-hand combat. In these units, everything should be sharpened for physical fitness and endurance, as well as high morale. Personnel and officer perks should be chosen according to these criteria – fast march and discipline. Such regiments should be completed exclusively with veterans and will soon gain all three stars of experience.
Union and Confederate infantry types Line infantry This branch of the army is still the “queen of the fields”. Infantry brigades are the backbone of any army. It is the owners of the rifles that both the defense and the offensive are conducted. Assault actions and seizure of territory are generally impossible without the linemen. As one general said: “A territory is considered captured if an infantryman’s boot has stepped on it.” By the time of the American Civil War, the infantry and the methods of its use were undergoing tremendous changes. Linear tactics and action in tight formations still exercised overwhelming authority among the commanding staff of both sides. But the multiple increase in firepower, manifested in the invention of casemate guns, drum revolvers and magazine rifles, is already beginning to pry the seemingly unshakable granite of military science. Therefore, on the battlefield, we will see two types of infantry: line and skirmishers. In this guide, we will look at the types of troops under our control, as well as the principles of their formation. Those. essentially the core gameplay of Ultimate General: Civil War . In order to competently use infantry, cavalry and artillery, you need to study their characteristics and purpose on the battlefield as accurately as possible. Another important component is the army organization. It is not enough to recruit soldiers, equip them with modern weapons and supply them with ammunition – you also need to break them up into battalions, brigades, divisions and corps so as not to lose control during the battle. We will also devote this section to the section with the isolation of the most effective setups. Go ahead and conquer the vast expanses of Virginia! Infantry
