What's next eh? honestly, I felt it was time to rework the french (addings wigs and mustaches and add a few details...). As mush as I like Sweden I don't want to start an other project for now since I already have a lots of project. Also, I know that Jared the Piper and general corwalis are working on sweden... maybe I wait to see what's gonna come out of there... ( I'm sorry to say that Sweden is not a priority for now at least ( I'm still fond of Karl XII but the way it goes I start to spread myself too much and nothing is ganna get done that way...
Also, there are some smalls details to fix to make them work properly with patch 1,3. The new spanish units have also revived my desire to finish the spanish textures...( I love those new grenadier! )

Bavaria eh? well Smatussek1 made some stuff for the german state but I don't know if they work with patch 1,3. I can say for myself that before I joined RoN I did worked on the german state also. There on Ancien Régime the bavarian line, Hannover line and militia. Those textures are the only ones I put for download but I did work on much more ( hannover arty and Cav, Saxon line and Arty, Bavarian full 50% complete) but I dropped everything to do Poland-Lithuania. I got hooked on Bavaria for I like so much those light blue uniform.

Now I heard there a kind of debate around the blue of the bavarian army. Some say it's light blue some say it's more or a medium blue a bit like the French blue http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.p...hmann_Infantry
It is not known with certainty, if the infantry wore a dark blue or corn-flower blue coat during the Seven Years' War, but the following items of dress were common to all infantry regiments:
Collar, cuffs, lapels, and coat lining in the regimental facing colour
Red stock.
Black gaiters, tricorne hat, cartridge box, and bayonet scabbard
White & blue cockade on the tricorne
Brass grenade badge on grenadier cartridge boxes.
Grenadiers also had a small cartouche box on the waist-belt
Red-brown calfskin straps on tin water-bottle and musket (red or white after 1740s).
Brown-black Austrian pattern grenadier fur caps with red bag, white lace & tassel
Cowhide knapsacks until 1757, subsequently made from white or grey ticking
Brass drums with white & blue striped hoops.
Mounted officers had shabraques and pistol covers in the facing colour, trimmed in the button colour. Exceptions: The Leib-Regiment had blue shabraques edged in silver, Infanterie-Regiment Kurprinz had dark blue shabraques edged in gold.
Regimental staff officer wore lace in the button colour.
The Leibkompanie of the I. Battalion of each regiment carried the Leibfahne, a white flag with the Madonna painted on in various designs.
Füsilier companies carried white and blue checked regimental colours. For reasons of economy, the madonna, and the electoral cyphers in the corners of these flag were often omitted. Grenadier companies did not carry flags.
I didn't made a lot of screens for bavaria for it is much WIP but you can see the artyllery in attachment. When I got half way trough with thoses bavarian textures I began to ask if I was right to do them that way... anyway well see...
Really spiffy retext
Those militia sure do have bright uniforms... but are you sure that they should be so bright? its just a sketch watercolor after all... the dyeing process back then wasnt that good, and they probably made the clothing en masse with low quality dye... so that perhaps the color had more grey or brown in it. Im no expert, just pointing out what i thought i saw...
Thank, Smartozais
You raise a good point about the dye. Actually, I don't know If it should be so bright. It is true the dying techniques were not as good as today but it always depend what types of pigment could be found in a specific region and I have no Idea how bright were the the colors... I can only make assuption...
