Hello!
Thanks for the appreciation!
First off, it might take a while for the release of the coming update. The models still require rigging (although I, in my rather limited modelling experience, barely know the meaning of the word
), and there are several minor changes to be made here and there to decrease the amount of 'Napoleonic' things still left in the game (generals, faction leaders, etc.).
As for your suggestion, I believe this would require a new unit for every existing German unit (there are a few). The amount of work required for that would be, quite honestly, rather enormous. The team has decided, as of now, to use only the Stahlhelm from the beginning of the campaign, at least visually.
