    Do you have a reference of them, most of our team members including me have other priorities (since we're working for other projects as well) at the moment so progress is a bit slow. Sorry for that, but rest assured this project is still in development.

    I hope that this mod'll succeed, it's a very interesting idea. Here is an old Boer unit roster I was working on.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Vrywilligers/Volunteers



    The basic infantry unit of the Freestate. Patriotic volunteers, hardy, with good stamina and morale and decent equipment, these are decent men.

    Grensboere/Border Boers



    Grensboere are the descendants of the Voortrekkers, who settled near the very fringes of the Cape colony. Capable guerillas and marksmen, excellent at hiding.

    Trekboere/Migrating Boers



    Trekboere, or Voortrekkers, were nomadic Boers who continued to move around fertile areas during and after the Great Trek. Because of their nomadic nature, they often travel, and now fight, on horseback. Agile and powerful, their main drawbacks are the fact that heavy Mausers aren't the most ideal weapons for cavalry and that they are even more vulnerable than most other Boer soldiers thanks to their inability to hide.
    Irish Brigades



    Many Irishmen joined the Boer republics in their struggle for independence. Many of them were miners from Ireland or America who had been living in South Africa for a while. Many of their officers were ex-soldiers from the American and Britidh armies. They were therefore well-led and moralled.


    Here are also some German colonial units, the native Askari



    regular German colonial troops

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

And then one of the prisoners came, stood by me for a while, put a hand on my shoulder and said to me, something that I will never forget: ''Tränen sind denn nicht genug, mein Junge,
    Tränen sind denn nicht genug.''

    Your powers of deduction are astounding.

    I either want to play the Dutch (I am part Dutch) or the Zulus (I'm not Zulu...as far as I know).

    The mod is still in the beta stage and will remain so for a while, however soon we will regain momentum and make some progress.
