Nice avatar...

Stamina will be in the game. More on that later.

I hope it will not effect you walking, because you could more or less walk for a whole day.

No, it wont. The idea is to add exhaustion and stamina. But both wont be affected and wont affect walking. Only running sprinting etc.

Sounds amazing! Can't wait!

And regarding the rifles, will there be a "sharpshooter" weapon. Essentially a rifle looking like this:

Would be really cool to see this, would make the commanders think twice before riding along the lines.

My penis can get so erect, please stop.

The question that must be asked: What will the musket's overhead attack be?
EDIT: (with the bayonet attached I meant)

With bayonet, similiar to the NW overhead. Without bayonet, using the musket butt overhead, similiar to the animation we have in NW for muskets without bayonet.

A scoped Withworth rifle is currently in production.

[Furrnox]

Hm, how would that work in a lb?

[ClearlyInvsible]

I'd imagine the skirmishers would have two or 3 marksmen with scoped rifles.

[William]

Remembering that wind and other factors will contribute to the bullet would mean it would be difficult to land a shot on a commander. 2nd to this, you would probably be capped to a certain amount and you would probably have to go solo or with a small group of people (no more then 4 people). This would leave you vulnerable to cavalry which could easily take you out. Not to mention it would probably be a long reload to help balance it. There are probably more options, just can't think of one.

also,  to go along with a scoped Withworth rifle  would be the berdan's sharpshooters uniform

Seeing that makes a question pop up in my head.
Will proning be possible in the game?

[Rejenorst]

I think so. I believe going prone has been planned.

[Furrnox]

I think so. I believe going prone has been planned.

Hm.. It feels like this might brake the linebattle experience?

[Millander]

Event organizers could just dissalow it as many do with crouching.

[Rejenorst]

I think so. I believe going prone has been planned.

I don't know how it will be implemented and whether or not there will be limitations/server settings etc.

[Duuring]

Maybe we should stop trying to create a NW line-battle experience in BCoF

Going prone should have some serious disadvantages, like extreme slow reload and taking a lot of time to get up.
