I still strongly suggest adding the 84th somewhere into that list.

84th What?

I also would like to make respectful change to your suggestions.
The 88th (Connaught Rangers) were not formed until the start of the Napoleonic wars.
A suitable alternative Irish regiment may be the 27th (Enniskillen) Regiment of Foot.

The 88th Royal Irish was formed prior to the Napoloenic Wars, however you're right, in a sense. They were not made the Connaught Rangers until 20 years the latter of the American Revolution. I'm going to redo the list with new regiments and the suggestions you guys came up with...



Re-done list, edited with others recommendations, and new regiments.:

Continental Army
"For Liberty, and Justice for All!"
Infantry
Minute Men Militia
Continental Army Line Infantry (Standard Uniform)
Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment (French)
1st New Jersey Volunteers
1st Delaware Grenadiers
2nd New York Infantry Regiment
2nd Maryland Infantry Regiment (Elite)
Morgan's Provisional Rifle Battalion (Skirmishers)
Cavalry
Pulaski's Polish Legion
Henry Lee's Light Dragoons
5th Connecticut Light Horse Regiment
Specialists and General
Gridley's Continental Artillery Regiment
Continental Army Corps. of Engineers
Continental Marines, 2nd Battalion
Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, George Washington
                              British Army
"God Save the King!"
Infantry
British Army Line Infantry (Standard Uniform)
2nd Hessian Grenadier Regiment
33rd Regiment of Foot
22nd King's Royal Regiment of Foot
27th "Enniskillen" Regiment of Foot
42nd "Black Watch" Highland Regiment of Foot (Elite)
3rd "Scots" Foot Guards (Elite)
60th "Royal American" Regiment of Foot (Skirmishers)
Cavalry
Native Auxillary Cavalry (Native American Mercenaries)
16th "Queen's Own" Regiment of Horse
17th Tarleton Light Dragoons
Specialists and General
Royal Artillery
Royal Engineer Corps.
His Majesty's Royal Marines, 1st Battalion
Commander-in-Chief, Sir Henry Clinton

Changed units are in bold. I changed the names of regiments, added some recommended regiments, and moved some regiments around. What do you guys think of the new list?

I'm sorry, but where are you getting these facts?
 The 88th Connaught Rangers were FORMED in 1793, not renamed that and was never known as the Royal Irish.

Also, I'd say anyway that the developers already have regiments in mind.

I already have the 42nd Black Watch on there, far more important highland regiment.



I took this pic from ETW with a mod I have. It's a historical mod. Makes all units 99.99% accurate. :D I'd love to see the Royal Deux Ponts Grenadier Battalion in the mod, to be the Royal Deux-Ponts I suggested.

Did you read the history I posted about the 84th?

Im not saying that, I said that because that tri-colour was used during and after the french revolution.

This version was actually used by the first empire only. You can tell by the bees.

Well, that's part of the "American Revolution" mod. Which, changes the uniforms of every unit in the game to that of what they were during and post the American Revolution. It also adds different regiments and units. Such as the one I posted. It's the Royal Deux Ponts Grendadier Bataillon. It's a historically correct uniform for the grenadier battalion. However, if you guys say that is not the correct uniform, then that's something to bring up with the mod team. A page ago I linked the Royal Deux Ponts line uniform. If that's the correct version, then add it. This isn't a thread for an ETW mod, rather a n American Revolution mod for NW. Lets keep it that way, and not get into ETW?
