=== Overall strategy===
Ireland: a land steeped with much legend, mystique and tradition — yet broken by centuries of English repression and neglect. For this reason, the Irish have been at the footsoldiers of European colonisation, either serving under the British overlords, or as mercenaries in the pay of this or that other nation, ostensibly to one day foment a rebellion to free the Emerald Island. Indeed, the world of 19th century military adventurism is crowded by hucksters, dreamers, schemers, visionaries .... and men with nothing left to lose.
As such, the Irish Brigade are a force to reckon with as mercenaries go. Fast to train and proficient in arms, they are very much a cavalry civ's worst nightmare come true, especially moreso with the ability to quickly amass them for much gold. Less impressive, however, will they be if faced with massed barrages of artillery....or furious assult by cheaper Musketeers or formidable Grenadier Guards. Even the humble Nomadic Humtsmen can take them out if they approach them from the flanks. As such, wise employers of the Irish Brigades will usually use them in a defensive capacity against enemy melee cavalry, particularly raids by Hussars or to break up a charge by Cuirassiers.
