If you know it was more then one regiment, why did you name only one?

60th Royal American Rifles fought in greenjackets.

The 60th Foot had one batallion armed with rifles, the 5th. The other 8 were armed with muskets, except for the flank companies of the 8th and 9th. Those were indeed dressed in green, but only the 5th saw service in the peninsula and was still just a few hundred men.

None... Both where blood baths and most likely die from disease not a real death on the battlefield.

Napoleonic wars, better trained soldiers and more chance of surviving a battle to tell my tales of war.  ;D I'd like to be in the placed into the OldGuard or 28th, either one time traveling wizards.

Napoleonic Wars. Would serve in the danish army. They didn't see any major action and they had nice uniforms

Napoleonic Wars. Simply for the fact that I'm British and would of loved to fight for my country in that era. Especially at Waterloo :D

Both wars were terrible for the soldiers.
I "like" both scenarios but I guess I'd go with the napoleonic wars for the look of it, the simplicity and what people call honour.
Both wars were incredibly cruel though, and I would not really want to fight in a war.

Read some memoirs of battles and you will realize quick there is no such thing in battle.

Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

I highly disagree. Entire fortresses and militairy units surrendered on nothing more then their word, and they fucking kept to it.
