Grant

Grant — Ulysses S. Grant, commanding general of the Union who won the American Civil War in 1865 through the attrition doctrine, later the 18th President of the United States. European War 6 classes him silver A-rank infantry for the American faction — silver quality drops less often than bronze but more readily than gold. His kit reflects his historical doctrine of attrition: Assault level 2, Tunnel level 2, Plain Fighting level 2, Inspiration level 1. The Tunnel + Plain Fighting emphasis matches the siege of Vicksburg (1863) and the Overland Campaign of 1864, two operations where Grant systematically employed trench warfare and subterranean approaches. Attributes: infantry-only specialized profile, no cap in other categories. In the EW6 meta, Grant is the centerpiece of the American campaign: he leads bayonet-equipped Minié-rifle infantry, and his Tunnel + Plain Fighting combo makes him adaptable to both major theaters of the Civil War. A cheaper alternative to the S-ranks when the player is building an American roster progressively.
