Needs new voice acting and gun sounds also will you be doing coustom uniform ?

We already have some better voice acting that is done just not implemented. The gun sounds are actually how those calibers really sounds as they were recorded at a NSSA live fire event. Uniform wise we are currently not doing custom until after we have everything stable and done.

ok If you want to play NAS go play NAS if you want to play HWM play HWM or do both. If you want to get technical I can rip NAS apart just based off of what is sitting in my room. I can do the same with some of the items on the HWM model. HWM is not done yet. Which is something I have mentioned multiple times. Also I and several others feel that this is much more balanced and once I get our own board on the released mods board I will also release the balanced rule set that works very well. Also our mod is in 1863 not 1861 so various parts of the uniform are different based on the unit and also based on how long they have been on the front. The 6th Wisconsin looks awful because they did not get new equipment since they were considered a militia unit for the longest time. So the Federal government told Wisconsin to outfit them but they didn't. The breastplates also varied by state and for some they are a stand in atm until we have them dont. Yet again this is still not anywhere near complete.

So how is this different from NaS besides NaS's more detailed textures....... I mean does it offer any more or is it just different units?

Well we have buck and ball for select units. Basically think of it as a shot gun that fires a 69 cal. ball and buckshot behind it. We have different units. I think we have a very good and effective balance of historical accuracy and balance. There are a few more tweeks to do atm but they should be in the next update as far as balance. We are going to have a few new maps that we have been working on for a while including Pickett's Charge, Hoods assault, and Cemetery Hill. Also we will be adding more units with the possibility of adding at least 1 unit from every division. Also we have some weapons that are not in NAS such as the Lemat revolver and Spencer carbine. The other part to remember with this atm is that this version is still a test version so its gonna have a few bugs until we iron everything out.

Hey everyone its been a while since I posted anything on this board so how bout I give out something special. This is the TEST version of HWM. There will be hot fixes and the like but after reviving this thing we figured we should put something out. Please bear in mind there will be bugs, errors, and placeholders BUT the units and weapons are balanced from what myself and Hall can tell so if everyone is fine with playing a test version of this mod then please download it and let us know what you think about everything. I will compile a list of known bugs and if you find any that I don't know about then I will add it to the bug list so we can fix them as we go. If you would rather wait until it is done then by all means please bear with us as we finish this thing.

Why no 3rd Arkansas?

Well we are only trying to do one regiment per brigade and if possible division. The 5th Texas are in the same brigade and division and we felt that A) the uniform would be more unique B) 5th Texas went through the slaughter pen, up little round top, and fought were as 3rd Arkansas went and fought Wards brigade on Houck's ridge. Honestly we would love to put every unit that was there into this but unfortunately NW and MB warband cannot support that sort of load.

Sharpe, can you show your source where you said "Also berdands at times only carried the ammo they thought they would need thus cutting weight (40 rounds weighs a lot when combined with all other gear) making them faster and more mobile." I have never heard of that before. Also, how could the angle of the model of the berdans you put up to see affect the size of the cartriage box? Through out the war cartridge boxes changed in style a tiny bit. Although, not by much. Size pretty much stayed the same.

Ok For Gettysburg when Sickles deployed the Berdans most of them ditched everything they didn't need to shoot. Thats what I meant kind of wrote that part while I was still asleep. They were deployed so fast and rapid at times that they couldn't always carry as many rounds and also some of them would carry ammo for there personal rifles (which are not in the game because target rifles are a pain. To many variations) weighing up to 30 pounds just for the rifle. If the were going to be somewhere for a while they would grab them otherwise they would stick with the sharps or 58 enfield. That particular cartridge box is the 54cal Springfield box that was made by Tiffany of new york (yes the silver company) who also made the uniforms and stuff like that. At gettysburg each man carried 90 rounds a man what that means is in arsenal packs which are in groups of 10 rounds per that were kept in the haversack so you would have 40 rounds stuffed into the cartridge box and 50 more in the haversack. Hope that clears this up. The things that happen when I type before my brain is up.

Actually In game everything looks right. Its mainly the angle and since its a springfield box it has 2 levels to it each holding 20 rounds. Also berdands at times only carried the ammo they thought they would need thus cutting weight (40 rounds weighs a lot when combined with all other gear) making them faster and more mobile.

Personally I have to say.. the work spend on this mod is not worth to continue it. The mod community of NW is pretty strange, as we can see on IE. They are spending time on a mod for 2 weeks and then they loose interest. Even if there were tousands of hours spent to make such a mod.

On the high water mark mod, you guys told me you have a very talented scripter and he is finish his work soon. That was 2 or 3 months ago I think, since that time there was no update.

So to be true, I doubt that HWM will be successfull or ever released within the next months. For line battles, there is still N&S used and quiet popular.
Also, I offered you my Gettysburg stuff (models and scripts) some months ago, but with the current situation (no updates by you and the missing mod support in the community), there is no reason for me to give you a helping hand, since I think the time would be wasted.

Hard words, but true.. 

Did you ever think that maybe we were waiting to finish because we were waiting to see how we could use your stuff in correlation with ours but if your not going to let us use it then so be it. As far as this mod we are working on it but have run into code and real life issues between college work and stuff at home we have had to slow down a lot more than what we wanted to. We have the mentality as that of the NW unit we are in. If you have real life stuff you need to do then do it first. Some of us have jobs others had midterms last week. Now then what I can say is we should be doing a metric crap ton of filming in the next few weeks and will be continuing to make more strides as far as the way things look and play. We will deliver the best possible mod that we can.

Well now them pants and buckle. If you are trying to do early war the communation system wasnt around until 1862 and thus entire units would have what ever was at the armory. Also the CSA buckle never existed you should have VA state seal buckle.

My unit portrays the 4thVA in March of 1862. That would be classified as early war and the commutation system was in full swing. I didnt go into as much detail in the description of this post as compared to my one of facebook that allot of folk here saw but im fully aware of my impressions flaws. Next on my list is a Civilian roller belt and a wooden canteen. Besides the use of Federal accouterments my main problem is my 61 Springfield. The 4th virginia as well as many units north and south were using 1842 smoothbores. I however do not have the money to drop on a new rifle for an impression.

 Saying CSA buckles is quite the statement. I have held an original square CSA buckle thats in the collection of the museum I work at. They are far over portrayed in reenacting but they certiantly did exhist. http://www.armyoftennesseerelics.com/confederate-belt-buckles

Let me phrase what I said differently. CSA buckle that one in particular did not exist in the ANV and therfore not in the Stonewall Brigade. If I am sounding like I am a dick im not trying to be its just those pants man. You honestly would be better of with wearing your sky blues. If you wore that at any event out by me you would honestly be told to change them. Those look more like something a zouave would wear which there were none of them. Once again if I am sounding like a dick just know I am not trying to be one. I know guys who have been portraying the 4th for around 20 years and they have uniforms for almost every year (late 62-63 blend together). I would gladly give you a link to the website or put up one of there pics for you to look at. And the CS oval did exist it was the CSA oval that did not.

Early War 4th Virginia Company A impression that im about done with. Just need to get a CS canteen and a civilian belt. Its a little different than most CW impressions you see since everybody does mid war impressions.  But my favorite part about early war CS impressions is you get all the Commutation System benefits. Striped Trousers fuck yeah!

33RD VIRGINIA

Arriving late in the evening of July 1, the Brigade spent much of the 2nd day skirmishing on the far Confederate left. It would not be until the next day that the 33rd would see real fighting. At 3 a. m. on the morning of the 3rd, The regiment was aroused and marched off with the rest of the Brigade towards the enemy position atop Culp's Hill. After daybreak, the regiment advanced in line of battle towards the enemy who was "strongly intrenched in a most advantageous position." The regiment advanced up the slopes of the hill advancing "in intervals" as the men took cover behind rocks and trees as they advanced. Although the regiment exhausted its ammunition within an hour or two, at least part of the 33rd remained engaged for almost five hours, as partial supplies were received upon the field. During this portion of the fighting, Captain Bedinger of the Emerald Guard was killed while advancing towards the enemy. Captain Golladay, in temporary command of the regiment after the battle would write that Bedinger's body had fallen perhaps the closest to the enemy's lines. Sometime around noon, the regiment was withdrawn from the slopes, reorganized and replenished with ammunition. The regiment was then moved several hundred yards to the right, and another advance was made upon the enemy. The fighting was intense and lasted only a half hour or so before the regiment was withdrawn again and marched to the rear for a short rest until mid afternoon. Again, the regiment was aroused, reequipped and marched to a position farther to the right of the line. From this time until nightfall the regiment was only engaged in skirmishing after which the day's survivors quietly retired. Upon the field would be left many whom Golladay considered the "flower of the regiment." Besides Captain Bedinger, the company would lose five other men wounded in action.

As Lee began his long retreat in the rain on July 4th and 5th, five members of the company, some of which had been wounded two days before were captured at Waterloo and Chambersburg. By the time the 33rd had re-crossed the Potomac and moved into camp around Orange Court House, the regiment numbered only 90 men. With the death of George Bedinger and the only Lieutenant, Patrick Maxwell absent sick, Captain D.B. Huffman of Co. G, 33rd Virginia Infantry assumed temporary responsibility for the company. On August 31, 1863, the Emerald Guard was again mustered to be paid. At that time, the unit numbered 1 Corporal and 7 Privates present for duty; 14 privates, 3 sergeants and 1 corporal were recovering from wounds; and 1 man had been discharged.\

There were some reports of very few zouaves in the 69th at Gettysburg. Their company got almost wiped out at Antietam but those who were still around did what they could to maintain the zouave look and also grab whatever coats they could when they could. Before the battle of the wheatfield for instance the 69th raided the army supply train for pistols, ammo, weapons, and coats. If memory serves me right General Hunt caught the entire unit and proceeded to yell at a zouave ordering him to drop everything he had gathered. The zouave along with the rest of the 69th took off and reformed with the rest of the Irish Brigade and marched to the Wheatfield where they served with great distinction even though the entire brigade only numbered 540 men.

5TH TEXAS "THE BLOODY 5TH"
 The Fifth Texas Infantry Regiment was organized by the Confederate War Department in Richmond, Virginia, in October 1861. The men of the Fifth Texas Infantry were recruited primarily from the Texas counties of Colorado, Harris, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Milam, Montgomery, Polk, Trinity, Walker, and Washington. The unit was organized into ten companies. These companies had nicknames attached to them to denote their area of origin. For example, Company A was known as the Bayou City Guards, Company C as the Leon Hunters, Company D as the Waverly Confederates, Company E as the Dixie Blues, Company F as the Invincibles, Company G as the Milam County Grays, Company H as the Texas Polk Rifles, Company I as the Texas Aides, and Company K as the Polk County Flying Artillery.

Along with the First and Fourth Texas Infantry regiments, the Fifth Texas Infantry made up the famous Hood's Texas Brigade of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. As part of Hood's Texas Brigade, the unit served under generals John Bell Hood, Jerome B. Robertson, and John Gregg. The Fifth Texas's original commander was Col. James J. Archer. The unit had numerous field officers during the war. These officers included: Walter B. Botts (major, lieutenant colonel), King Bryan (major, lieutenant colonel), Robert M. Powell (major, lieutenant colonel, colonel), Paul J. Quattlebaum (major), Jerome B. Robertson (lieutenant colonel and colonel before he became commanding general), Jefferson C. Rogers (major), John C. Upton (major, lieutenant colonel), and David M. Whaley (major).

The Fifth Texas participated in nearly every campaign waged by the Army of Northern Virginia. It saw its first action on May 7, 1862, in an engagement at West Point, Virginia. Over the course of 1862, the unit participated in numerous skirmishes and actions, including the major battles of Seven Pines, Seven Days, Second Manassas, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. On June 3, 1862, after the Seven Days battles, Col. James J. Archer was promoted to the rank of brigadier general and ordered to command a brigade of Tennessee troops. As a result, Jerome B. Robertson was promoted to the rank of colonel and took over command of the Fifth Texas. However, following the battle of Antietam, General Hood was promoted to the rank of major general. To fill the vacancy left by Hood, Robertson was promoted to brigadier general and assumed command of the brigade which he held until late summer of 1863. Thus, command of the Fifth Texas passed to Robert M. Powell.

In 1863 the Fifth Texas was involved in various actions in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Tennessee. It participated in the major battles of that year including Gettysburg where, of the unit's 409 effectives engaged, more than half became casualties. The Texans went through the Devils Den and attacked the left flank of Col. Strong Vincents brigade along with the 4th Texas. They inflicted heavy casualties but were forced to retire due to the regiments on there right flank being forced back. They would remain on the right flank until the end of the battle when they withdrew with the rest of the army.

The Fifth Texas also participated in actions in the Western Theater as part of Gen. James Longstreet's Corps. While there, the unit was involved in the battle of Chickamauga, the siege of Chattanooga, and the siege of Knoxville. The Fifth Texas remained in the Western Theater through January 1864, after which it returned to Northern Virginia.

In Virginia, the Fifth Texas participated in actions against Ulysses S. Grant's Overland campaign of 1864. The unit fought in the battles of Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor. As the Union Army encircled Richmond and Petersburg, the Fifth Texas was engaged in operations in defense of those two cities. When the defense of the Confederate capital broke down, the Fifth Texas—as part of the Army of Northern Virginia—retreated west and took part in the Appomattox campaign that resulted in the surrender of Lee's forces at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, on April 9, 1865. The unit surrendered 12 officers and 149 men at Appomattox. In spite of its low numbers, the Fifth Texas was the largest unit of the Texas Brigade to surrender its arms.
