I have several factors to take into consideration for this one. First off, my Scottish heritage, so during the Napoleonic Wars, my family would've still been in Scotland. Secondly, my size. I am about average, early teens and 5'1, not fat, but not lanky or lean either. Average. Most people also say that I excel in leadership, and I also have a good understanding of Napoleonic formations, tactics, etc. I am a fairly good shot, and fully understand the flintlock mechanism. I am also not bad with a sword. I am also fairly strong, despite my size. All things considered, I would most likely be a centre or heavy company captain in a highlander regiment.

Doesn't matter if you have excellent leadership, if you're not from an aristocratic family then you'll never be an officer.  :D

BUT WUT ABOOT SHARP!1!1!!1!1!11/1221!!!!

Not to mention, capturing an eagle from a Dutch regiment who didn't carry eagles.

Since my ancestry is french and german. If i was going for french, I would be a French Officer, i can think tactically and i'm a good speaker. If i was going for german(Prussian), i would have been either light infantry or a Jäger since i'm quick and thin and i also don't like carrying much because i'm not very strong.

They carried just as much equipment as any other infantrymen.

Good point but still, i would rather skirm than be in a line.

Jaeger, rifleman, or light infantry.

Not really interested as a standard ranker in the line battalions. Much more relaxing and worthwhile to shoot enemy officers and rankers from afar!
