Elite Units of the West DLC

[Sheogorath]

They got a bit of fame from the Barbary escapades but yes, not exactly the same name-recognition that you'd get from the various expatriate units. I like the idea, particularly in the era of officer-owned or sponsored units being in a sense unique and separate organizations within an army, or displaced units fighting for a sympathetic foreign power, but the Marines don't fit that at all.

I must repeat here that I think the goal of the marines was to give the US something similar to the European elite units. If anything it's the 'Guards' unit that doesn't belong in the US roster. Unless there was, at some point, an elite unit of presidential guards who dressed like European royal guards :P

Oh, it's clear why they're there, but doesn't keep with the theme of the others. The USofA already has really good light infantry but most of the period troops would probably fall more in line with that. Neither of the US units really fit, but hey, semper fi and on to Tripoli. No reason you can't run the revolutionaries as an Absolute Monarchy anyway!
