Drilled or Undrilled Skirmishers; why should we care?

Post by Onomarchos »

Why do we need to worry about skirmishers being drilled or undrilled? They act the same in the game . . . don't they?

There is one case where it matters - a BL of undrilled skirmishers and drilled artillery needs a CMT to move and tests as undrilled.

They don't do better in a flank march because it says drilled or skirmishers.

ok right

but skirmicher have a CMT to do if they want to make one 180 ° one move and one 180 again, so they can still shoot
in that case drilled have a better chance of success

Seriously: the CMT table has one score to pass for "drilled or skirmishers" and another one for "other undrilled".

So the difference between drilled and not drillled is style, not substance . . . and the former having to get up early in the morning and do a route march before breakfast.

Remember, drill is its own reward.
