Community Project Idea: A comprehensive napoleonic resource guide
« on: January 18, 2014, 02:14:42 am »
Since we are one of the two gaming communities that are involved with the napoleonic era, I thought maybe it would be a cool idea to have a huge guide for anyone looking for resources (Or maybe uniforms) of the Napoleonic wars armies. Here is an example of what I am talking about:

Would people be interested in contributing? If not I will probably do it myself anyway, but let me know. Also it would be great to keep uniform image sizes. Thanks for reading!

I'll happily sticky this in the Historical Section when it at least covers the armies in the DLC. Good luck!

It could be either, I put it in community because I want it to be a "community project". Thank you for the link, but I want to create a more centralized comprehensive guide to napoleonic Uniforms.

Could this maybe be run as a Wiki project? That would open it up more readily to community additions, and provide better depth structuring than a forum-based guide.

What Blob said. On top of that there are a few good books worth directing people to, like C.E. Franklin's British Napoleonic Uniforms and the like.

Probably, but I would have absolutely no idea how to do that.
