They do in range and since most of my army's (Prussian, Russian, British/allies)are the better units. Which reminds me I need to get the 95th. |

Rifles are more accurate and the men were trained to think independently.Better morale. Didn't know the Russians had rifles. Austrians had some. |

No Russians have Rifles, do have the 95th Rifles now, seems by period drawing Hanoverian Jagers have Rifles but haven't seen that in writing. |

Was naming in all my armies, only Rifles are Prussian Guard Jager, East Prussian Jager, Silesian Schutzen, Guard Schutzen ( later than army and don't get much combat) and 95th Rifles. Thought of rolling dice for any volunteer Jager companies |
