Royal Green jackets were not around in that time, it was 95/60th and any other rifle regiments! I would know because my dad was a green jacket

I think they were, the 95th/60th were renamed to the 1st royal green jackets during the Napoleonic Wars.
Not during the Napoleonic wars, a bit later on

 Yep, the Royal Green Jackets were formed well after the Napoleonic Wars. Specifically, in 1966. Which is certainly a whiles after.

 But if a regiment wants to be historically inaccurate, they have 100% the right to do so. Many regiments do historically inaccurate stuff, and some regiments are totally historically nonexistent. Since this is a game, and not so much a simulation, who cares?

 I'm pretty sure the reasoning behind the naming of this regiment was the Empire: Total War unit, which was veerry historically inaccurate for that game, which otherwise kept pretty solid historical reference.

Yes but still the Royal Green Jackets were not formed during the Napoleonic Wars therefore did not exist

 Look at the 00th. It's literally made up. At least the 1stRGJ tries to replicate the Royal Green Jackets (even though the tactics and weaponry changed at that point) by adding "1st" to it in an attempt to make it replicate an era-friendly regiment.

 Stop complaining and say good luck, already.

Doesn't matter few regiment even know the history of the unit they portray.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Its their choice if they want to be historically accurate or not, nothing is forcing them to be. And to be honest, all the obvious choices for a British historical rifle regiment have been taken as there were not many rifle units during the Napoleonic wars. Only the 95th, 60th and various KGL's from what I remember.

Best of luck!
