| Great Britain: King George III Military: Army Max: 225,000 troops Standing Army at 1791: Infantry: 75,000 Quality:-------------------------9/10 Cavalry: 15,000 Quality:-------------------------8/10 Cannon: 146 Cannons of Various Caliber Quality: 9/10 Quality Overall: 10/10 Reasons: The British Recoats were one of the, if not thee most disciplined infantry force in Europe. The British were the first army to train using live fire exercises, used target practice extensively, and were one of the only armies to use a rifled musket, the Baker rifle. The result, the Redcoats could kill anything at 200 feet. However, not all British troops are the infamous Redcoats. Only a portion, about half, have the discipline needed to become to fighting machine that the Redcoats were. Navy: 9/10 A vast trading empire and extensive colonial possessions make the need for a navy as important as an army is for a landlocked Austria. British ships-of-the-line are the best in the world, although years of neglect have made the great ships a little cobwebbed. By the later of 1791, the Royal Navy would put itself in gear and assume the title of King of the Seven Seas. A tight budget, however, could limit the building of new ships-of-the-line. Size: 113 Ships-of-the-line Economy: 8/10 |
