Marine

(image)

Marines are elite soldiers who specialize amphibious assault and close quarter combat. Marines, named for their strategy of seaborne attacks, are reconized by their green jackets. They have an improved ability to fight in shallow water, and can even swim through deep water. For assaults they keep their muskets, but can now perform a bayonet charge for heavy melee damage.

Special Notes: The length of this unit’s weapon allows it to strike first in melee, even in defense. Using a charging attack doubles both damage dealt and received; this does not affect defensive retaliation.
