Effect and role

Research costs 3,500 Influence and takes 15 seconds at the University after the British Alliance is selected. The delivered force needs population space and a safe rally point. Redcoats can screen the slower Rockets, but the package should gather before advancing into a defended position.

Access and delivery

Use it when the army needs both a durable infantry line and artillery support and the units can reach the front in time. Research before the intended push rather than during an emergency, and compare the Influence cost with other British Alliance options. Keep the Rockets behind the Redcoats and protect their route to the battle.
