Austrian Ghosts

Within the valleys beneath the Italian Alps, the Italian Army had begun to resort to unconventional tactics. The Italian commanders had come to recognize that there was no conceivable way to win a field battle with the Royal Austrian Army.

As such, they had begun resorting to guerilla warfare, utilizing skirmishers dressed as peasants, villagers, refugees, and merchants to attack the Royal Austrian Army via ambushes. As a result, Berengar had slowed his march to Milan and instead sent out his Jaegers to hunt down and destroy the Italian guerillas. 

These Jaegers were an elite unit of marksmen and skirmishers armed with the 1419 Jaeger Rifle, which was based upon the Whitworth rifle from Bernegar's previous life. These weapons were capable of engaging targets out to 1000 yards and, thus far in Berengar's service, acted as snipers hidden behind enemy lines.
