The game's firelock citizenry serve as reinforcements and supporting troops rather than the formation's core. They remain close to stronger units and under direct control because they are not trusted to operate alone. This is a scenario-specific assessment of these game units, rather than a general claim about historical militia. Their restricted role shows how a commander can use low-confidence troops without asking them to carry the main action.
