Archduchy squad: grenadiers in white coats and bearskins, a Grenzer and a hussar

VI. Archduchy

Alpine Archduchy

The Liechtenstein school and Hadik’s hussars

The Liechtenstein school: artillery is 20% cheaper, and the light regimental guns deploy in a second. Grenzers from the Military Frontier get the same cover in woods as in a settlement, and the Hungarian hussars plunder baggage trains and camps. The Hofkriegsrat in Vienna delays everything: infantry, cavalry and artillery take 25% longer to train. Grenzers, hussars and regimental guns are exempt.

Music
Haydn’s Emperor’s Hymn, the “Koburger Marsch”, two pieces by Mozart and Viennese Harmoniemusik
Voices
German with a Viennese accent; the Grenzers speak Croatian, the hussars Hungarian

    Hadik’s Raid

    On 16 October 1757 Hadik’s hussars held Berlin for a day and extorted a ransom.

    Every enemy building in the chosen circle pays a ransom: Headquarters 120, a mint 70, any other building 40 gold. For 20 seconds it trains no troops, and a white flag hangs over its roof. You get the full ransom even when the enemy treasury is empty. With no buildings in the circle, the charge is kept.
