Absolutely not! they were rifle men, the Jägers I suppose. They required no rifle techs but had the rifle range in combat.

I may not have built the others. A double barrel is nice but they don’t have the range of a rifleman.

I think I was cleaning everyone’s clocks with Jägers, Light Dragoons, & Horse Artillery with a few line infantry thrown in at times.

Austria has the worst line infantry but the other troops more than make up for them. I am only guessing that they are not treated as favorably in auto resolve combat by the AI factions and thus we see Austria knocked out in a lot of campaigns.
