What if this was all a construction? A masterfully crafted simulation? This article references the Assassin's Creed series in a real-world context, is written in the present tense, or is partly written in terms of gameplay. To maintain clear perspectives, revise the relevant section(s) so that out-of-universe content is in a "Behind the scenes" and the body adopts an in-universe past tense. |
Officers were soldiers appointed to positions of authority and power in the British Army and the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
They usually commanded a unit and were responsible for the well-being and deployment of their troops. Officers displayed worn riding boots, a gorget, shoulder cuffs, and finely crafted leather riding gloves, as well as shorter tunics and tarletons that denoted their position.[1]
Officers were quite perceptive and could see through blended spots and disguises.[1]
Combat[edit | edit source]
Officers were commonly found in cities, forts, or the Frontier, and were always accompanied by a body of troops. They were armed with sabers and flintlocks. Officers could parry and attack in rapid succession and were dangerous if not countered properly. Direct attacks would often result in a parry, and counterattacks led to retaliation. Disarms, defense breaks, and execution streaks were all viable tactics. Officers could also mount nearby horses to attack Ratonhnhaké:ton.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The British officers' model seems to be based on the era's Dragoon uniforms, especially the curved saber and the tarleton helmet. This would have made their appearance within the Foot Infantry rank unreaslitic, as they should have formed individual Dragoon units and charge at the player on horseback.
