ARMY UNITS - Standard Western European Infantry - Musketeers aka Riflemen


Musketeers or simply Riflemen are the basic infantry units for all of Western Europe.

Just like the cavalry, they wear large cavalier hats on their heads. 
The main and only difference between them and reiters is that they usually wear small shoes.

Their primary weapon are muskets.
Rapiers are secondary and used only to defend themselves if they will have no chance or no time to fire.

They don't use any means of protective armor whatsoever.

Musketeers are common among the armies of: 

* Sweden
* England / Britain
* Denmark
* Austria
* Holland

They are also used as main infantry for other minor "western european" factions, like:

* City of Gdansk
* Prussia 
* Courland

Some small numbers are also visible in the Polish Army.
