Light infantry

Light infantry is a type of unit in warbanner

Light infantry is largely used to provide support to line infantry, because of their bigger range, very high accuracy and high ranged damage, but their health is low so they must be placed behind other units for protection. multiple light infantry units advancing togehter often are able to destroy whole units of enemy line infantry if protected correctly, but there are other crazy ways to use this highly accurate snipers

Strategy
The light infantry is often used with line infantry for protection and sometimes coupled with heavy riflemen, however, this units are more often to be seen in the battlefield than the heavy riflemen because of their high availability. their combination of high accuracy, ranged damage and range makes them very deadly, and can often end up the battle having killed multiple times their regiment size. this units are very useful against melee infantry and can turn the tide of a big line infantry battle. a crazy, but sometimes useful strategy is to spam regiments of light infantry with few or no cover from line infantry, they are so many that when the enemy line infantry gets close they will fastly get killed by the tons of accurate marksmen shooting at them, and due to their so high number, by the time the last one of them has shot, the one that shot first will already have reloaded and ready to shoot again, so your light infantry blob is protected all of the time, leaving no breathing room for the enemy, however, if the battle get to last very long, this troops can run out of ammo, and if you have gained no more deployment points to deploy anything else, its often game over, so use this tactic with caution
