Friday LB tonight as Tirailleurs!
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Tirailleurs don't exsist in this game, perhaps you mean Voltigeurs

I forgot that people think they're all that for translating. Just meant that there are no in-game units known as "Tirailleurs".

A more correct translation would be escarmoucheur.

A skirmish is an escarmouche, so it would be better to say escarmoucheur for a skirmisher.

I apologise for being an annoying Frenchman, but Google Translate is definitely not a good translator. ;D

Skirmishers in the Napoleonic army were referred to as tirailleurs, at least in the garde they were. For some reason calling skirmisher troops "hunters" persisted throughout Europe,  whether it was the German states with their jaegers, or the French with their chasseurs, or the Spanish cazador. Voltigeur essentially meant "vaulter" because they were originally meant to ride into battle on the horses of friendly cav and jump off to quickly deploy anywhere but that proved impractical on any large scale and so they were used as highly skilled marksmen and skirmishers.

As far as the Napoleonic wars are concerned, a tirailleur is a skirmisher with a more literal name. The only units I've ever seen with tirailleur in the name though are the young guard skirmishers.

Well that I didn't know, thanks for telling :P

I knew the stuff about the jägers all over Europe but I didn't know that every skirmisher, in the Napoleonic Wars, was referred as a tirailleur. But it's strange because there were a lot of skirmisher and light infantry units, voltigeurs, chasseurs, carabiniers, tirailleurs, flanqueurs etc... so I don't understand why they were all referred as "tirailleurs". But yeah I should probably do more research about this stuff ;)

On a different note I have completed a slightly revised Manuel for the regiment. I will clean up some wording in the future. Our original manuel was written before our first event and we have sence changed some things such
as the execution of "By company into line" and "Company by the Left/Right Flank take intervals march".

It is now Public for any to view.

I don't think I explained properly, what I meant was, in the French army, tirailleur meant skirmisher, its hard to explain but even though escarmouche is the direct translation of skirmisher, tirailleur was the military designation for it.

Well I think they were called tirailleur because it was the name of the formation. When the skirmishers were spread out, it was called the tirailleur formation if I recall correctly, so that may explain it ;D
