Well we will see about that but still ather all the years of development still no video's come on FSE hopefully you guys can get something out in the future. But it will be worth the wait to see BCoF and War of Rights when there both fully developed. .When will a video or something be out ?
Feb 30th
BCOF go MIA again 
Guys stop overreacting. Being "dead" and silent for 3 years and all they have is 1 screenshots and Alpha in December.Amen they are just doing this because they know War of Rights is better
Texas Fielded 37 regiments of Cavalry not 28.dont try to over sale the 26th NC just because your in it

Another thing to note is that your battle casualty rates are a bit misleading. For example you mention the first Texas which did indeed suffer the listed casualty rate but that was only for the few companies that participated. This somewhat downplays other regiments like the 26th North Carolina that only suffered 71%, but with the entire regiment participating making them the highest number of casulties suffered.
Well, if we're here "overselling" (read: fact checking to the best of our ability) our regiments, I decided to check up on the 5th Georgia's numbers.
Regiment: 5th Georgia
Battle: Chickamauga
Division: Cheatham's
Strength: 317
Killed: 27
Wounded: 165
Missing: 2
(Casualty?)%: 61.1
In my research, I found that, while your numbers for the 5th Georgia's strength (referred to as Total Effective in the War Dept. records) are correct, your percentage didn't match up. According to The war of the rebellion: a compilation of the official records of the Union and Confederate armies. ; Series 1 - Volume 30 (Part II) (linked at the end of my post), the percentage is 54.95, not 61.1. Doing a little math, I found that the percentage is calculated to reflect the Aggregate Effective numbers, which is, as far as I can tell, the sum total strength of the force when in battle. With this in mind, I assume the number of dead, wounded, and missing to also be taken from the Aggregate numbers, not the Total. Why there are 2 different numbers, I don't know. If someone can explain the difference between the two I'd be grateful!
Relevant table of casualties
Report of Col. Daniel, 5th Georgia Infantry
Article on the 5th Georgia's War Record, originally appearing in America's Civil War with relevant info highlighted
Chickamauga, A short film made by Robert Enrico based on the battle. Not relevant info-wise, but cool nontheless
Thanks for input
That is the order the Manual was inDuring the American Revolution and Wars before soldiers learn the manual of arms for handling and using weapons in formation, whether in the field or on parade. From my standpoint adding The manual of arms will add more historical accuracy to Whigs and Tories. Another thing that would greatly impact historical accuracy would to be able to see the ramrod going down the barrel of the musket.I just have to point out to you that, you have the "Rest" order listed three times, an intriguing suggestion though.
Here is a list of the manual of arms
British Army Manual of Arms 1764
1 Rest your firelock
2 Order your firelock
3 Ground your firelock
4 Take up your firelock
5 Rest your firelock
6 Club your firelock
7 Rest your firelock
8 Shoulder your firelock

This may take extra time to develop and Implement into the mod but over all thank you again keep it up WaT !
