    this thread is useless since ca decided to give them all parade uniforms rather than campaign uniforms. just look at the laughable retreat from moscow scene in some of the videos. none of them are wearing great coats.

    and if you question my claim, jack lusted already said they'll be using parade uniform because they look better, essentially. that is subjective and they need to go on historical accuracy, not foppish fashion sense.
    Always trying harder to help you make an informed decision.

    My wargames armies have at least half in greatcoats for French and Russians especially. In later years the greatcoat was about the only uniform item many soldiers wore,in various colours.Obviously that doesn 't look so spectacular but is historical.

    The 'basic' Russian patterns of the pre-1812 and post-1812 periods:



    Some infantry officers:


    A drummer of the Vyborg regiment:


    A Cuirassier of the Ekaterinoslav regiment:

    I rather like the Russian cuirassier uniforms. The black enamel cuirass on the white uniform looks very nice.

    A cuirassier of Her Majesty's Regiment:


    A Military Order cuirassier trumpeter:


    A Kazan Cuirassier trumpeter:

    Of course, some of them just had to be...original

    A Lifeguard Dragoon:

    The interweb is a marvellous thing. It took me years to find details on Spanish,Hannoverian Landwehr and Prussian Reserve Regiments when I used to paint 25mm figures for wargames.

    Austrian cuirassiers should have only front breastplates and have the back bare (well straps to secure the front) I would call it trivial but if you, CA, did change anything next update I would suggest Austrian cuirassiers not only have correct uniforms, but also perhaps 2 points less defense to put them 1 pt below the Russians who did have front and back plates. You could compensate this by adding 1 point to offense due to greater flexibility which would put them equal to the French.

    Yes it's very interesting site. Some of the ETW modded retextures came from there.

    I like this Russian site. You can click on the pictures even if you don't know Russian.
