Yeah, I used to put FIN before my name too, but these days I mostly see POL or RUS.

Anyway, looking forward to the update. I might post some pics of the map I have been working on. :-*

[offtopic]Has anybody noticed that lots of Polish People put PL after their names? It's kinda pointless and stupid. We don't need to know that you're from Poland![/offtopic]
Believe it or not, but I've seen people of other nationalities do it too.
So have I.
I'm just stating that it's mostly the Poles who do it.

Actually, I don't see many Americans with stuff like [USA]name.
Humans are extremely complicated creatures. Death uncomplicates them to a frightening degree...

Mostly a Cavalry update but also some other things.

The first image is the Francs-tireurs, French Partisans, civilian resistance, after the fall of the second empire they became a lot more organised and started getting uniforms, but before that they were a lot more irregular. They also can have a top hat which isn't shown there.

You can also now block while in firearm mode.

Not being offensive but dont you think it will be a little wierd if you were to randomly block while halting fire from a distance it will look wierd it wuold something like this

Offocer:present arms

Rankers: hup!

Officer: at ease!

Rankers: wa hey

Officer: why are you saying wa hey men?

Rankers:  becuase we are blocking everytime we go at ease we must always grunt when we block.


For example still good odea though.

Why are the french cavalry legs so ridiculously fat and bulgy? Did they wear thicker pants?

Well you can choose the way you want to shoulder arms now. But most of all I was sick of fumbling about between pressing X when you need to block and shoot quickly.

I think they're supposed to represent baggy pants. :P

Anyways, awesome update! I love the French partisans, and the Red Cross medic looks awesome!
I don't trust anything but pizza from a pizza place.

Yes, they wore huge baggy pants, mine probably aren't even big enough.

Those very loose overalls with the false-booting attached are called Lasalles, by the way, after the famous cavalry general who was closely associated with them.

Trousers simply can't be baggy (or red) enough.

Wow, those look absolutely absurd. The French Marine in the back though looks kick ass... :D Add French Marines to the Specialist tree!
