Quote from: Docm30 on October 12, 2013, 07:07:47 pmIt's conceivable that the GLI had a rifle company but it isn't true. Again, there were five militia rifle companies (two from Leeds, one each from Oxford, York and Kent) that could provide a rifle unit. They wore a mixture of civilian clothes and captured American uniforms. There's a surviving officer's uniform from the 2nd Leeds that appears to be of American origin, so it's a safe assumption some of the men were in uniforms captured probably from Benjamin Forsyth's riflemen.In the case of the GLI rifle option, gameplay balance and avoiding greater and unnecessary complexity to the mod by adding a variously clothed militia rifle unit trumps a possible historical inaccuracy in my opinion.

Do you have a link for the website where you got the uniforms?
