Overview
European Escalation
The Fusiliers can be brought onto the battlefield via a FV603 SARACEN or a FV103 SPARTAN for ground transport, or with a LYNX AH.1 and its armed variant the LYNX AH.7 if aerial insertion is required. They are armed with a LAW, the inaccurate M72, for short range anti-tank duty, and the L1A1 SLR Rifle. 32 reinforcements can be brought on the battlefield.
Compared to similar NATO rifle platoons, the Fusiliers lack in anti-tank accuracy, but are standard on the rest. Their main advantage is the ability to come on the battlefield for the same price as non FAMAS Chasseurs with their FV603 SARACEN while being better infantry, becoming one of the most cost-efficient NATO infantry.
