I have, but that's not the point.
I meant that in comparison, getting together a full ACW kit is cheaper and easier then a Napoleonic uniform...Plus, you guys can have 10 different regiments stand next to eachother, all looking alike, to make things appear more realistic. Here...Well, let me show you this.Spoiler(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fnapoleon-monuments.eu%2FNapoleon1er%2Fimages%2F110618Goumont121PANO.jpg&hash=3c7c4a095c188b910c3f8f94692a350fc1966842)[close]
That's really the best we can do. Which, granted, looks cool, but I am rather jealous of your nice-looking Union lines. Then, we have proper marching. Hehehe! ;D
Taken, but even then, Union (and CSA) regiments have the advantage of being able to blob together.
That's an exception. It's sheer impossible for Napoleonics. Regiments portray a certain era, and do not change their uniform for one specific battle. Because, simple, it would take an entire new uniform which is only useable in THAT battle, which might be a bit too costy. For example, A French soldier of the line should have, to portray 1800-1815, three different shako's, a bicorn, two forage caps, three or even four different uniform jackets, different plates for cartridge boxes, three kind of trousers. Besides the shirts, boots, gaiters, backpack, etc.
I'm not saying it's a million times harder. But, it is harder and basicly impossible. Then, the level of historical authentic is higher then I imagined.
I mean that I've seen dozens of videos of ACW re-enactors marching completely out of step, while we easily train 3 hours a day at that on an event.
Look Dordak, it's just Duurings massive ego, don't mind it :P
Then you've never seen a progressive/hardcore unit before. basically, what I dont like, is that you make it seem as though acw guys don't have to put forth any effort. Which is just not true. both napoleonic and acw reenactors put forth huge amounts of effort and neither side should acuse the other of not trying.
I've only been under watch for 2 days ::)
For god's sakes, it was a joke. You even joke about it.I've only been under watch for 2 days ::)
Don't lie. Besides, I'm also not the one trowing around personal insults.

Love how the French really jump over the wall and get pushed back. Also, don't forget to go to 4:40 to hear the Dutch warcry.
Oranje!
BOVEN!
And this is a pretty good speech from the same event.

Those rebel yells are pretty impressive, do they do some sort of coaching on how to do them properly?
Wanted to learn ever since being a Confederate Officer in N&S, never got around to it because I'd rather not startle everyone in the vicinity.
At my battle so much smoke from muskets and cannon in such a small area made it so we couldnt even see the rebels and spectaters!
