== Strategy ==
The Redcoat is one of the strongest melee units all the way to the Atomic Era, especially when fighting on a foreign continent. There, it is able to stand its ground even against Tanks and Infantry!
The best thing about the Redcoat is that it appears for free when founding cities on other continents (after Military Science is researched, of course). This means additional defense for these cities right from the start, not to mention the free unit. And, as with all civilization-specific or (as in this case) leader-specific units, the Redcoat requires no strategic resources in vanilla Civilization VI and Rise and Fall, which is a great boon during a game in which the player has been unable to secure for Musketmen and has outdated melee units as a result - although you won't be able to upgrade these units to Redcoats without . In Gathering Storm, you will still need for Redcoats, but only half as much as you would for regular Line Infantry. 
A great tactic for these troops in vanilla and Rise and Fall is to mass them until you're ready to launch an offensive. Since you receive a Redcoat every time you found a city outside your home continent, you can be constantly gaining more and more military strength that you can turn against your opponents. Bear in mind, however, that Redcoats are quite expensive to maintain, so if you conquer too many cities you won't be able to afford the Redcoats and may go bankrupt. If you plan on making a Redcoat army, you must make sure your economy can handle it. (In Gathering Storm, a Redcoat push doesn't snowball in either power or cost in the same way.)
Should you face a Redcoat invasion, try to take them out before they can hit your shores. If they land, then try to out-range them with Field Cannons!
