Brunswickers in British Service 1810-14

History:

After their famous fight to the sea during the 1809 campaign in Austrian service, the Brunswick Black Corps were taken into the British Service and reorganized into a battalion of infantry and a regiment of Hussars. The Hussars were sent to serve on the Mediterranean coast of Spain but the newly reformed Braunschweig Lauenburg'sche Jagers or Brunswick Oels Jagers served with Wellington's main army and took part in many of the major battles of the Peninsula War. Originally composed of good troops, the Brunswick Oels Jagers were forced to take on enemy deserters and prisoners to make up for their losses and developed a somewhat motley character. They were derisively nicknamed the "Owls" by their British comrades and were one of the regiments accused by the 95th Rifles of eating their mascot dog when it went missing. In spite of the dubious replacements, the Brunswickers managed to leave the British service with a credible combat record. Many of the Brunswick soldiers who served in the Peninsula formed a cadre of experienced troops around which a new corps was formed for service in the Waterloo campaign of 1815.

Known Historical Compromises

• The Brunswickers in the Peninsula were not issued with colours. The colours in the package are combinations of various battalion colours used in 1815

[Viriathus]

Really good looking skins

[Malkolm R. Lind]

Since this replaces the King's German Legion; Did you spend time to add those gray rolled up pants to the jackets for the units that share the same pants as the KGL?

Either way, good looking stuff! Just like always, Craig!

[Kacper.]

Nice! Now you can make jagers?

Yes. the pants were added back manually to all British, French, Prussian, and Russian units who use the grey rolled up pants and the grey cavalry overalls since they had to be blocked in the BRF resource files in order to get the correct pants onto the Brunswickers.

*Also, I just noticed that I forgot to add them to the character unit in the mmfrench_uniforms.brf. You can redownload and paste the corrected mmfrench_uniforms.brf onto the Resource folder of your Napoleonic Wars module to correct this or simply add pants to the character_uniform set in mmfrench_uniforms.brf if you have the open BRF software.
