HRE: Reiters Tactics and Deployment.

[Shahed]

Greetings everyone !

Inspired by some brief comments in the thread about Camel Gunners, I decided to post a thread about Reiters.

How does everyone use these guys. I have not used them yet, but I have fought against them. the superior range of bows and muskets mean they will suffer casualties to enemy fire before getting a shot off. If the survivors do get close enough they will be attacked before they can get a shot off.

So obviously I'm missing something here.

Any discussion, tactical suggestions on their usage most appreciated. I'm looking forward to an HRE game once Pure Fixer 1.14 is out.

Personal observations: The HRE is one of the most impressive factions in the game. Unparralled unit roster. Powerful 2 Handers of all descriptions. Gothic Knights, mounted and (modded) dismounted. Serpentines and arqbusiers. Throughout an HRE campaign you are guaranteed to smash even the most powerful armies your European contemporaries can throw at you.

THE REICH SHOWS IT'S OBVIOUS SUPERIORITY THROUGH BATTLE !

SALUTE !
