Imperial Guard

Description
"The Imperial Guard (French: Garde Impériale) was originally a small group of soldiers under the direct command of Napoleon I, but grew considerably over time. It acted as his bodyguard and his tactical reserve, and he was careful of its use in battle. in 1804 the Guard numbered eight thousand men. By the time of Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, it had swelled to just under 100,000 men. The guard recieved better payment, rations, and equipment, and all guardsman ranked one grade higher than all non-Imperial guard soldiers"

The Imperial Guard is one of the two national units of France, It is a good line infantry, its main adventages are its high health and melee damage, plus one perk that gives them 25 extra damage for 10 seconds upon inflicting damage to the enemy, they also have wall of bayonets perk that gives them increased damage against cavalry units, this unit is good in almost every aspect, but its accuracy isnt great compared to that of other line infantry, so it is a good idea to try to get them to melee attack as soon as possible
