The Defense die type is determined by the unit quality, and the Combat die type is influenced by the quality but not completely determined by it. Units with higher Defense die type will, on average, suffer less from the effects of enemy musket and artillery fire. The progression is:<br />Rabble (hastily raised militia, disaffected conscripts - D4, plus possible maneuver penalties), <br />Raw (conscripts, untested or disaffected regulars - D4), <br />Regulars (the bulk of the troops in most armies - D6)<br />Crack (better quality units, confident veterans, junior/minor state Guard units - D8)<br />Elite (Senior Guard units, other superior veteran units - few and far between - D10)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-31353673989281917552024-01-10T10:50:06.373-05:002024-01-10T10:50:06.373-05:00Hi, Great job.
