: Rifle Man -- this unit is invisible until he strikes making him best for sneaking up to an important enemy unit. This unit has a very large attack, but a very small amount of Hit Points.
: Minute Man -- American Unique Unit. Any worker can turn into a minute man for a small amount of gold. They can then turn back to workers for free. This unit is good if you need an army fast however they are not as strong as the regular infantry units.

very
effective against infantry. It is also good against Hussars, however Dragoons will easily defeat them.

Artillery & Ships
: Cannon (unpacked/packed) -- There are two types of cannon in Hands to Quarters.
