Sharpshooters

Post by Powloon »

I have just purchased this game and I am playing my first game as the USA. I am trying to work out what my early build priorities should be and I wanted to check that I understand the effect of sharpshooters correctly.

The sharpshooter special ability says it applies only to the unit it is in. I am assuming that in the early going before you get divisions that placing a sharpshooter in say McDowells army stack will not give that whole stack the +1 initiative bonus and this would only apply to the individiual sharpshooter regiment or brigade (if it had a sharpshooter element). When divisions come along if you have a sharpshooter in the division the whole division gets the +1 initiative. Is this correct?

Yes, that is the correct interpretation of how sharpshooter ability works.
