I know I haven't updated in a while but it's because I'm mainly doing the code, which is difficult and taking a while, I'm being helped but the person helping me is quite busy. The good news is one that's done closed alpha can be released. I'll be releasing a list of regimens accepted soon.

Good Luck!

yes you are right ...Berdan rifle came later than this war

It actually came when the war started, but it was all the way in Russia. The French bought American rifles to fill their needs instead, like the remington, sharps, spencer etc.

and I must say that the Russian army had its own version of this rifle for the Cossacks. This improvement was made by Cossack officer Safronov.THis rifle compared to infantry and dragoon samples of the same system was also shorter and lighter. Cossack units into service rifle came with a total length of 120 cm and a weight of 3.4 kg., The caliber of 4.2 lines (10.67 mm) Rate rifle estimated at 6.8 rounds per minute. Effective range is 300 meters. Initially the rifle stock was made of walnut, birch later. Cossack rifle bayonet and had no trigger guard.

Update time.  Not too many visuals because I'm mostly doing work on things behind the scenes.

Swords.
Spoiler
[close]
The top swords are for light cavalry, the middle are for the heavy cavalry, the bottom Prussian sword is the Infantry sidearm, the bottom French is for officers, Prussian officers use the light cavalry sword.

French Artillery Ranker

French Line infantry officer. I wont be making proper images for units which aren't rankers, but I wanted to display the first officer I've done.

I have also put some of Blitz_craigs brilliant maps into the mod, although they are set in the Napoleonic Wars, so are the default maps, and his are very good.

For the closed Alpha, these six regiments have been chosen. People in the credits will also have access. I really can't give a date on when the Alpha will be out, but it probably be within the next 1-2 weeks.
