Like the samurai of old, they are unlikely to break and run after suffering a few casualties. They are also dedicated to their cause and each other, and have good morale. These “special police” carry katanas, making them rather formidable in close-quarter battles. The shinsengumi special police are a useful force of rifle-armed samurai infantry.
Shinsengumi Police Force are a type of line infantry in Fall of the Samurai.
