Immelmann Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 i am not really understanding, why these units? i can see the use of them, but i should be able to absorb them back into the parent unit. possibly let me create them myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulus1975 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Looks like they have a longer range than regular infantry, always seem to run, and can shoot at artillery positions from outside of canister range. They also seem quite useful using the Fallback command to harass advancing infantry which can be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariete Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 skirmishers are good in close combat, against cavalry and artillery, charging. anyway to deploy in first line, maybe better as reserve ready to go in first line when enemy suffered a certain amount of casualties. number is irrilevant, if well covered and high morale.

knorki Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 as already mentioned: - better range (a little bit) - running everytime without loosing more condition - good @tanking cannon fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srgoens Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I assume you are speaking of deployed Skirmisher units. Skirmisher units are used to slow down enemy advances. Covered brigade retreats. Provided scouting in the immediate vicinity of the brigade. Provided screening action to your Armies immediate flanks. They do not take as much damage as regular brigades do because of their nature in using terrian in their benefit. They Excel at flanking engaged enemy brigades. Do yourself a favor and look at the killed and dead stats of your Skirmisher unit. Specialized Skirmisher brigades are different. They must be micro managed but used in the same Manor for the most part. Also using a mass of deployed Skirmishers can stop enemy brigades from advancing especially when using cover.
