Default Re: Light Infantry... what the ****

I think that light infantry are supposed to get an edge with their volley of projectile weapons before they engage the enemy and their mobility advantage in and out of battles against heavy infantry. What if there was a command that tells your units to stay away from hand to hand combat, but pepper the enemy with missiles? Since LI can outpace heavy infantry, they would fire, retreat, fire again, retreat, fire a final time (javelins only have 3 ammo) and then fight hand to hand. That way Ulm Zweihanders will make mincemeat out of Machaka warriors, but only when they manage to catch 'em.

On a side note, LI need to be better skilled than HI (which is often not the case or the difference is unnoticeable). This goes with the Zweihander and warrior scenario.
