Brits can go Hussar/Muskets vs a Aztec Rush. Should work actually. Get Age Up Tower and play it defensively. CM can come in handy. And then Muskets/MM -> Pumas /Jags and Hussars do the rest. And raid raid raid.

That's it in theory. In practice some other things play a role. Treasures, Hunts etc.

I am hesitant to use any HI against the Aztecs. They die so fast to maces it's pathetic. I agree that hussars should work in theory, but a couple SKs can really ruin your day. You need to micro those guys down ASAP.

mace still do more damage vs. heavy inf. then crossbows do , dont forget the faster ROF plays into it , mace are far cheaper and massable then heavy. inf.

The musketeers shouldn't do the countering part vs Mace. You just need them vs Pumas/Jags (+MM). Then go into melee and bring in the Hussars.

When i play germans i normally start with a stable and add some xbows.

I think musk/huss would work just fine. That's what I use when I'm french against aztecs and as long as you can get rid of those 6 Puma/2 SK, the hussars will eat the rest. It's just a matter of micro (easier said than done of course :p).

French are better against Aztec because their vils have 40% RR, which is essential against maces.
