STAB THOSE DIRTY ROYALIST BASTARDS!

This is actually turning into something nice. Oo

Thx very much  :)

I am certainly looking forward to this mod being released. The uniforms look great and it does seem there is some interest in this mod. Even if we don't get the numbers that play regular Napoleonic I hope it will be popular.
  By the way Pro_Dazzer, could we get a look at some of the drum designs you have done? I think doing the flags does make sense for most of the regiments (just those two or three I have already listed, King's Lifeguard, Prince Rupert's, Earl of Manchester's and possibly the Earl of Essex's should have the coat of arms of their respective namesakes).

If I can still count,  there are maybe 10 who wrote here it looks good, but only 3 people will actually try it, and to the end of the month it will die.
With drums, im still a bit confused. Some are still not finished. Ill try to post some pictures when it's done.

Reading Earl's of Manchester regiment on BCW,
Quote
Spring proposes that, since it was a double-sized regiment, one 'battalion' wore green lined red and the other red lined green
I could make another 'battalion' in Others section with green lined red uniforms

Orbital historical correction storm incoming, prepare to be shat upon.

There were no companies, well there were, but companies were more just a general term for bands of men, usually mercenaries.
Pike units were referred to as pike blocks.
You drink beer, not bears.
Whoring would've probably been banned in the Earl of Manchesters Regiment of Foote due to them being puritans.

Looking good. Love the drums as well, good to see the Earl's coat of arms there as well.
Wigster is quite right as Manchester's Regiment (which I believe was later merged with a few others to form Fairfax's Foote of the New Model) were Puritan. Interestingly though not all Puritans were the Godly saints they made out to be. Cromwell (okay technically he wasn't a Puritan)used to like dancing and pulling practical jokes. There is an old legend that he had an ink fight when signing the King's death warrant although I think the story has largely been discredited.
  Companies would be a mixture of musketeers and pikemen (usually about a third pikemen, two thirds musketeers. Royalists tended to have more pikes due to shortages of muskets at the start of the war, although some Roundheads had shortages as well. By the end of the wars though you would see more musketeers) and normally between six and ten companies although as time went on they would just merge them. Interestingly many soldiers would probably say they belonged to a particular company under Captain [insert name of Captain] rather than to the regiment.
  To be fair with the beer/bear point, most people here in Norfolk pronounce it bear... ::)

  Well this got off topic fast!

Looks good, can't see much I would change. I am doing a bit more research on some siege maps, will PM you when I have got a bit more. The only thing I would say is that forts tended to be laid out like the picture I sent you, see the fort (or rather what's left of it!) at Newark for example.

Any more updates? I am back at University now so will be a little busy from now on and, judging from posting activity, t'would appear that the same can be said of most people! I PM'd Juan a few more sources for the maps although that will probably take some time I would guess.
