Due to their low numbers, sharpshooters cannot stand up to line infantry or cavalry if their opponents can close the gap. However, they have much greater kill rates than Bow Kachi.
As light infantry, they have the longest range of all infantry, tied with Bow Kachi. Sharpshooters are the standard (and for most factions, only) light infantry in Fall of the Samurai. Individual snipers were limited only by the mechanical reliability and quality of their guns, something that came as a terrible shock to many officers supposedly safe behind the lines! As technology and weaponry improved and telescopic sights became available, their ability to plunge enemy units into disarray grew too. Sharpshooters, whatever they were called, were not expected to fight in open battle in the normal way of things, but to pick off officers and leaders among the enemy ranks. They were selected on the basis of intelligence and resourcefulness, and often because of a background as poachers or gamekeepers! During the American Civil War units of sharpshooters were raised from among “back country boys” who relied on their skill to feed their families in times of peace. Referred to as “rifles” or as some variant of “hunters” such as “chasseurs” or “jaegers”, these men were often elites within their respective army. Many European armies had employed skirmishers, often armed with rifles, from the Napoleonic Wars onwards.
A wise commander keeps them out of such immediate dangers as much as possible. However, due to their low numbers, they can be vulnerable to being swamped by enemy units in close combat, or ridden down by cavalry. They are right to consider themselves a cut above ordinary infantrymen, and this attitude gives them good morale. Anyone hit is almost certain to be taken out of the fight. They are armed with very accurate rifles, and can shoot targets at very long range. Sharpshooters are best employed to protect the flanks of an army, and to specifically target dangerous enemy units from a safe, for them at least, distance. If you are not hearing the actual FOTS music while the battle is occuring, then yes something went wrong.Sharpshooters are a type of light infantry in Fall of the Samurai.Ī few bullets, in the right targets, can turn the course of battle.
I have stayed dev 2 the entire campaign and still heard that music. What The yogi posted is the music you hear on the strategic level when you are attacked or attack.Īctually iirc the 2nd one always plays in naval battles in fots, not sure about the technology thing. However you say the battle music always stays the same? If you look up FotS soundtrack (on youtube for example) you'll see that it has over 30 tracks, surely some, if not most of them must be playing during the battles, when else? They can't all be battle loading music or campain map music can they? a écrit :Aaaah, ok that could be the case, I will continue my campaign and see.
