  1. Thanks for the confirmation of my suspicions! Though this does of course make me wonder: is there a max effective size for carbine cav? Is 750 extra firepower or just a hindrance?
  2. So, I finished a game on Brigadier General with the Union where I was always maxing out brigade size. Always 500 man skirmisher brigades, whether sniper or carbines. But in my new Confederacy campaign, I didn't have enough rifles to make a full sniper brigade, so I made a smaller brigade of about 250. To my surprise...it was just as good as the old 500 man brigade. Maybe even better. Which leads me to two questions: 1)Do larger rifle skirmisher brigades reduce efficiency in some way, ala the 12 gun vs 24 battery artillery brigades? The difference just seems huge to me (as the smaller sniper brigades get fired at less and rack up similar kill counts), but I figured it could potentially be that a smaller sniper brigade is more easily able to shoot through gaps in infantry lines. 2)Is there any reason to prefer carbine skirmishers over carbine cavalry? Dismounted cav seems to perform the same role with significantly more firepower.
