Corps de Chasseurs

Sun Nov 09, 2008 9:07 pm

I've been reading some Civil War books recently, and a common topic is McClellan's lack of a Corps de Chasseurs. I understand this is a mobile force to follow through with breakthroughs, like Murat's cavalry or the Guard Cavalry. But in AACW terms, what would this consist of? Would it just be a cavalry corps? Or would it be a mix of cavalry, light infantry, etc.?

Thanks in advance

In game terms it's cavalry, ie they do extra damage vs retreating forces.
There are three kinds of people: Those who can can count and those who can't.
