Was wondering if anyone else had come across this while playing. My Cacadore units have 1 company of rifle armed troops, the Tiradores, and the rest just regular smoothbore muskets.
For the most part I was going to ignore the rifle company when the unit fired, treating the whole unit as musket armed. Then while looking through the light infantry rules I noticed that the option for a limited deployment of 1 combat group splitting into 2 skirmisher pairs was available for units of size 20(the size I am planning on my making most of my Cacadore units).
Would it be bad form to deploy the rifle armed company in this way, and then when the skirmisher pairs fired use the extended range of the rifles then? There are 2 pairs of rifle armed Tiradores in the unit in case anyone was wondering
Any thoughts either way ?
Cheers
Bill
