The freiwillige Jager detachments were small (often around 64 men) groups of mid-class people and often students. They brought their own uniforms and weapons, and served for as long as the war went own(Not sure on that list bit though).

Lutzows freikorps had a rifle detachment, but they were part of said unit, so they aren't exactly the same.

The concept of 'Freiwilligen' isn't just Prussian btw. Some Dutch cavalry had them, as well as the 1st Nassau infantry.

Thanks for clearing that up.

And thats quite interesting, Ive always been interested by the minor factions. Particulary the duchy of Brunswick. Slick uniforms, the black brunswickers had

All freikorps soldiers were (officially) volunteers, if that's what you mean.

Bluehawk, it was merely a humble addition 

Nearly, I guess I don't understand freikorps very well. Basically, since many Prussian regiments had
 freiwilligen-jägers, did the freikorps have them too?

Another stupid question regarding freikorps and jägers, would the freikorpsa rifle division be considered freiwilligen-jägers?

Nvm just found Tyrolean jägers.

I'm having trouble finding this question's answer.

Did freikorps have rifle men that wore the same uniform as the lutzowsches freikorps?

Every Freikorps had his own uniform reglement (if they had one) for their Jäger companies. But not everytime followed, for example when the members couldn't efford the money or hmmm, didn't want to be exposed on the battlefield...
Simple: skirmishers had little discipline...

Thanks, I was getting confused seeing numerous jäger uniforms.

ACIII is great, but whoever is their historical guide is an idiot. I constantly see the regimental numbers "42" and "92"

Aye, it seems Russia is the "Achilles Heel" of European military leaders. First, Napoleon's grand army, then Hitler's nazi force.

I may start a novel on the American Revolution. It's a war and time period that I have fallen in love with. I think I will try to blend in  a Native American character within the war, bringing tomahawks  to those fancy red uniforms.

Napoleon was a great leader, and all though society wants to hide from the truth of Hitler, he was too. An absolutely corrupted man, but he lead a nation to a war they knew nearly nothing about. Hitler is one of the greats, alongside Napoleon.

Post the most favoured leader of your opinion. Here are mine..

1. George Washington

He is my favoutite leader because he united 13 small colonies against a European superpowe
. From his time as a LtCol in the British Army to commanding the American regulars, this man proved himself.
