UK - Because I'm British, I love the uniforms, they have some dandy looking Highlanders, good mix of cavalry and infantry and because I'm in a Rifle regiment xD
I voted UK as well, but to say they have a good mix of cavalry... Only one dragoon and two heavy cav regiments. No, cav wise, France is best, though I like UK more.

Fair enough, I was just trying to be modest towards them :P

Hehe, UK cav is one of the first things which should be changed imo, being part of a heavy cav UK regiment :P
Would love to see some hussars/cavalry muskets for the British.

I voted France, but it was close really.

I like Russian Heavy Cav, my preferred cav unit. Austria for light inf. UK for Highlanders + music(pipers  ;D). And France for overall. Their light inf is quite fun to play with, and I rally like the Polish Legion.

Prussia would have to be a meh faction for me :( I like there history and the Prussian Guard officer looks amazing, but for some reason I don't enjoy playing with them as much as the other factions.

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

I love the frenchies because they have a great cav and they have good uniforms for the lines too (Vistula Legion and new patch for the 45e).

But if we just speak about the uniforms for me the most beautiful are the UK , with the Highlanders <3
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

I'd always go with UK. They have the awesome Highlanders and just the history and uniforms of the Nation is great. Not to mention it's my country too!

If France had Irishmen in kilts then it would be indisputable.
Are you telling me that you think Highlanders are Irish? ???

Voted for France, since every battle as France, except when he other team is clan stacked, France as won. A great mix of infantry, with quick voltiguers, heavy grenadier guards, and great looking normal line infantry. Amazing cavalry, with my favorite uniforms.
Britain has really just good infantry, their cavalry department is lacking, and their big heavy swords are unbarable.

I am a big fan of France, personally.  I like the diversity in cavalry and infantry that they offer.   Only down side are their skirmishers, which are just light infantry with cavalry muskets.

No, I know that they're Scottish but what I'm saying was that if France had a unit that was all kilted up - such as the Irish for example - then they're supremacy would be assured  :P

Nah personally I have to go for France, simply because their uniforms are so damn sexy. Turns every man homo in 0.2 seconds.

To be fair, the French did have some Catholic Irish regiments serving under Napoleon I believe, though don't hold me to that. Now given the effect that the Highlanders had on enemy regiments (particularly in India), just the idea of supposed "Highlanders" marching stoically forwards through enemy fire would certainly unnerve most foe's.
