HRE: Reiters Tactics and Deployment.

[Shahed]

I tried it last night.

I did what you mentioned i.e use them against slow, heavy infantry. I waypointed them around one of the flanks, close to pikemen, on auto fire, skirmish off. I charged the frontline muskets with Gothic Knights at the same time. That brought a quick and decisive end to the enemy's range.

Once they were around the back I unloaded in the rear of the enemy army till winchester (out of ammunition), skirmishing away when necessary. Then charged them into the rear of the enemy supporting a general attack across the front line. That worked great, very few casualties, and about 30-40 kills/captures per unit.

I tried them in CC (Cantabrian Circle) but it was just looking so silly, I had to turn it off.

Range is an issue and you have to keep a very close eye on them. Almost all casualties occured because of running into something inadvertantly. Multiple units at the same spot might spell trouble because of proximity to the enemy, but it's worth a try, I only had 2 of them in that test. They are a potent unit.
