Volontaires de l'Ouest

Formerly known as Zouaves pontificaux (name changed upon entering the war).
Quote
The Zouaves fought the Prussians and their other German allies outside Orléans, with 15 killed or wounded between the 11th and 12 October 1870, and also engaged the enemy at Patay. Numbering about 1,800 men, the experienced former Papal Zouaves fought with distinction at the Battle of Loigny (2 December 1870) where they lost 216 men while covering the retreat of other French units. The Volontaires were disbanded after the entrance of Prussian troops into Paris.
This unit will replace the French zouaves currently in the mod.

Only the officer and the flag are left to finish. Unfortunately the musician uses the same uniform as the ranker and I won't be able to fix that unless I mess around with the troops.text file.

Alternate zouave flag, wip.

I'll include the plain gold and white flag and the one above and let the user decide which to use.

Probably upload the mod between today and tomorrow. I don't know if I'll keep the scarves or not, I don't like that the neck line doesn't match to face texture and the scarf hides that fact, but it looks some what odd on the zouave.

One bug though, the officer shares the same hat with the line infantry officer so I can't give the zouave officer his own hat.

I'll give him his own just for you in the next update.
