Following the British Army wherever it marches, the mule train is invaluable carrying heavy essential equipment. Ensure the stubborn mules don't fall behind or you'll have mutany on your hands and no cup of Tea for your commander!
It may not be taking position on the front line but the mule train can function as the perfect objective marker. Or maybe a scenario like this: 'Your mule train has fallen behind and your scouts have reported that a detachment of French are chasing it down, you have to save the pay chest before the French capture it for themselves - defend the mule!'.
