Shock troops such as the marines have historically made big differences in
entire wars, let alone certain battles. Look at some of the feats performed
by the French Foreign Legion, the U.S. Marines, the Buffalo Soldiers, or any
number of elite units throughout history. The German shocktroops in WWI
were one of the few effective troops in trench warfare, they were just too
little, too late. A year earlier in their development, and they might have
turned the tide.
