===Strategic overview===
The Blackstump Brigade was a unit formerly trainable to Canada , but has since been removed with the Ultima Ratio update for Rise of Napoleon. It has since then been replaced with the Bavarian Danube Legion, albeit with weakened stats. 
While they share the same stats with the Provincial Fencibles, they are thoroughly a different breed of fighter, given that is capable of becoming cloaked whenever it is stationary and not attacking. This means that they are now more tactically diverse, being able to be used to lay traps and ambush enemy units passing by. The fact that they can be trained from a Settlement — yea, any Settlement — serves to make them even deadlier than their previous incarnation especially in a defence-based setting.
==History==
Fencibles were militia units raised throughout Britain and its Imperial possessions throughout the late 18th century and beyond, with the last deployment of Fencibles in New Zealand during the many wars involving the Maori tribes.
In Upper Canada, modern-day Ontario, the Glengarry Light Infantry was raised to defend the colony. The Glengarries served as a fencible regiment, which meant that they were similar to regular British regiments but they were only required to serve in Canada. The regiment fought as light infantry in that they were the advance guard on the march and rearguard in retreat. They covered line infantry in battle by protecting the flanks and by harassing the enemy. They often performed reconnaissance duty and fought in the woods alongside native allies. The natives admirably called the Glengarries the “Black Stump Brigade” for their dark uniforms and their skill in forest warfare.
