Hello, and let me introduce myself. I am the person who has done the research associated with this future Mod and have already completed 5 War of 1812 themed maps for Warband Napoleonic Wars. You can see them in the mapping section of the FSE forums under the thread entitled "Blitz_craig's Historical Maps". The War of 1812 is a stand-alone mod and will not be lumped into the MAW (Mexican American War) mod that is currently under development although this mod shares the same mod leader and many of its team members. Below is a list of units that are planned to be included in the War of 1812 Mod. Late war uniforms (1814 and beyond) were chosen for the list to keep the number of skins and models needed to a minimum. All units that will be armed with anything more or other than just a musket and bayonet have it listed next to them in parenthesis.

The units on the list that do not have any uniform plates beneath them have fully developed models and textures as part of Warband Napoleonic Wars , or will have them as soon as the last patch including naval units is done by the developers. These units will not need any new models or textures. Many other units on the British Forces portion of the list will only need alterations to existing textures to be created. US units will all need a lot of texturing and some modeling effort to come into being. We already have people on our team assigned to do coding, modeling, and texturing. But, since the majority of work on this mod will be skinning and altering existing skins, if you have texturing experience and would like to volunteer your services for any of the units above please send the mod leader a personal message. He can also provide you with pictures of US cap and belt plates as well if you need those details. If you would like to wait to begin any work until the Mexican American War Mod is released and fully debugged, that is understandable. I myself will not be starting any new maps for this mod until that is the case. This is just a heads up if anything on the list appeals to any talented modelers and skinners out there.
