High Water Mark American Civil War Mod (Suprise on page 46)

[BSM 'Shut up' Williams]

The 6th Wisconsin was raised at Madison, Wisconsin, and mustered into Federal service July 16, 1861 for a term of three years. It saw severe fighting in the 1862 Northern Virginia Campaign, fighting at Brawner's Farm during the early part of the Second Battle of Bull Run. During the subsequent Maryland Campaign, the 6th attacked Turner's Gap in the Battle of South Mountain, and then suffered considerable casualties battling Hood's Texas Brigade in the D.R. Miller cornfield at Antietam.

 The 6th Wisconsin being state militia troops were outfitted by there own state and not the Federal Government. This being the case most of there uniforms were ripped torn and in very bad shape.
 
The Sixth Wisconsin was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Lieutenant Colonel Rufus R. Dawes, grandson of the William Dawes who rode with Paul Revere. It brought 340 men to the field and lost 30 killed, 116 wounded and 22 missing.

 The Sixth and the rest of the First Corps were the first Northern infantry in the fight at Gettysburg, going into action northwest of town during the morning of July 1st.

 The regiment was initially held in reserve from the rest of the Iron Brigade. When Davis' Mississippi Brigade threatened to outflank the Iron Brigade the 6th Wisconsin charged across open ground to the Railway Cut north of Chambersburg Pike, trapping much of Davis' command and taking a number of prisoners, particularly from the 2nd Mississippi Infantry.

 By late afternoon the Union position north and west of Gettysburg collapsed and the Sixth was forced to retreat though Gettysburg to Cemetery Hill. It was ordered with the rest of the First Division to the north side of Culp's Hill, which it defended for the rest of the battle.

Corporal Francis A. Waller of Company I was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on July 1st when he captured the flag of the 2nd Mississippi Infantry.

Would you guys be interested in the swords I made for N&S? Since N&S is no longer going to be updated, they might as well be used for another mod.

Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber


Model 1840 Army NCO Sword


Model 1832 Foot Artillery Sword

O_O That 6th Wisconsin...........its beautiful.

[Furrnox]

Why not include 24th Georgia for the Confeds jk but looking good.

[Bacon]

Why does the 6thWI only got some mud on his right knee and then a random spot on the left of his left legg ?

[HWMHall]

The 6th WI was never refit during the war therefore the pants have patches of wool from different places, Mud on the legs for all units from the rainy march from Virginia. The pants and jacket have faded spots  from being in the elements near 3 years.  We were trying to convey what Extreme Veteran units looked like at this point in the war and hope to show the different levels of campaigning for all troops. Eventually e were wanting to add more rugged detail to the older units. Thank you for your question.

But isn't it kinda weird to see a line of 10 soldiers +1 officer and 1 sgt to see them with all the same mud stains on the same spot. in NS or Blood and iorn its also the same but it you don't get the feleing it is because its not just 1 small mud stain. I'd also do the ankles and stuff.

This is the phase 1 of these uniforms of course we will be adding variations to them including different number, shape, and color of patches as well as dirt in different places.

But isn't it kinda weird to see a line of 10 soldiers +1 officer and 1 sgt to see them with all the same mud stains on the same spot. in NS or Blood and iorn its also the same but it you don't get the feleing it is because its not just 1 small mud stain. I'd also do the ankles and stuff.

I agree with Bacon. You need to make uniform variants for the 6th Wisconsin. That way, the dirt, patches, clothing, etc. are less symmetrical across the models.

Technically several units in B&I have 2 different coat variations with different mud patterns. HWM could also do that.

[ikhoppa]

Don't worry we have enough uniform variation for each regiment previews just show one of them.

NW and NaS unit variants counted together are still less than what we have for confederate side alone.

The warband engine has not a good variation system, thats the main problem! The first uniform variation (like hat A) has a 75 % chance to spawn, hat B a 20% chance to spawn and so on.. So if you have 5 different hats for example, you wont see much of hat 4 and 5
