I had a game vs a german player who spammed WW and he had a few skirms mixed in. So as russia I make a lot of musketeers and strelet to counter this. (20%)weaker musketeers than other civs :P. I had about 30 vet musketeers to take out about 10 war wagons and 6 skirmishers and I got all up in his shit with my muskets and put them in melee thinking Id just SmasHT his army. But to my dismay what did my musketeers do? with the musketeers pretty terrible melee attack (except vs cav with 3x multiplier) they take quite a while to melee to death any skirms as the WW are dropping muskets like flies with thier huge ranged attack. So It would be great if musketeers would go for the cavalry first when you put them in melee mode instead of trying to kill skirmishers. Its hell trying to beat WW as it is without having to micro your units back on WW after each one dies. Do pikemen default to skirmishers first too?

They went after the skirmishers first.... >
