Wellesley

Wellesley — Arthur Wellesley, future Duke of Wellington, bronze S-rank infantry and the only bronze S-rank infantry commander of the British faction in European War 6. His kit reflects his historical Peninsular doctrine: Assault level 3 (+offensive damage), Mountain Fighting level 3 (+bonus in rough terrain), Ambush level 2 (ambush trigger), Intercept level 2 (defensive reactivity), and Alert level 2 (enemy detection). The emphasis on mountain and ambush mirrors his Spanish and Portuguese campaign against the Napoleonic armies — the string of victories that carried him to Waterloo. Attributes: 3/3 infantry cap, no overlap. A dedicated infantry commander, he is the best in the GB faction for mountain and forest scenarios. In the EW6 meta, Wellesley is a natural choice for the Peninsular campaign and for confrontations with Napoleon in the 1800-1914 era. The Mountain Fighting + Ambush combo makes him nearly untouchable in the Caucasus, the Alps, and the Iberian chain. Compared with other bronze GB infantry, Wellesley clearly outranks the A-rank options available, making him a priority unlock as soon as the military rank permits.
