Elite and Line Infantry replacements
Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2013 6:59 pm
I suggest the Prussian elite line infantry units changed to take normal line infantry replacements just like Fusiliers.
Some infantry regiments can have more experience in the start, just give them stars, the only "elite" units they had where the combined grenadier battalions.
There is enough work keeping the grenadier battalions manned.
This will only give more value to the grenadier batallions, every time you use those batallions it should be planned IMO.
The right balance is that you can keep them manned if you dont use them the wrong way, the Prussians kept them and raised them again if they got hit.
Now those regular infantry regiments are competing for the same replacements when i would like to fill them with conscripts.
EDIT.
The prussians actually had standards for their regiments and surveyed them annually, other nations couldnt manage this type of uniformity.
I suggest you pick one model, the trained infantry and fusielier stats look like an average of them all combined, and use that for the infantry regiments.
The fact is the Prussians produced infantry from the same pipeline, they where as similar as units today and their average was better than others nations.
