Default Re: After the End + Mass Combat..?

TL4 Musketeers with Good equipment ended up being effectively Line Infantry of TL5, so that worked out well!

Cavalry Pistols (TL6, TS 12) vs Mounted Rifles (TL6. TS 20) are a whole other story. The latter has higher troop strength at the same cost and has Recon! I would suppose that tactically, Cav Pistols would be more heavily armored and armed, focusing on melee combat and harassing the enemy with gunfire. The Mounted Rifles would be more like the ol' dragoons--mounting, riding, dismounting, shooting, rinse and repeat--with less armor and a focus on ranged tactics.

Flavor-wise, it's a cool distinction, but since the Mounted Rifles are objectively better in stats, it's frustrating.
