Light Infantry vs Line Infantry

[pevergreen]

What upgrades can light infantry get? I noticed my militias aren't getting square formation and rank fire.

Only line and proper infantry get those tactics.

Militia receive nothing.

I generally put them in front of my line hiding. When the enemy engages I take them out of the forest then use them to shoot the enemy in the back. Or sometimes on my flank if position allows so if the enemy tries to flank me out pops some skirmishers to shoot them. A lot of the time they'll die but they serve their purpose.

I actually use my light infantry (And variants) as a tactical reserve, a la Imperial Guard. They are a lot more lethal when the enemy is distracted, and their smaller size means that they are missed much less.
