Mercenary Cavalry Scouts
Adds a new rifle cavalry unit recruitable from the western tradeports.
The unit is modeled after a combination of Imperial Guard Cav and Tosa Riflemen. To balance out the OP nature of the unit, it is quite expensive for a land unit.
The unit vocalizations are Japanese, but I gave them a revolver-wielding Japanese officer (I mean they are foreign mercs) so that should make some sense.
Worth their weight in gold, many western gaijin will sell their service for the right price.
Equipped with the latest repeater and the finest sabers, the bearded western devil, veteran of countless battles, is a ferocious sight to conscript and peasant alike.
And he’s got "that damned Yankee rifle that they load on Sunday and shoot all week!"
