Thats a realy good picture, but I wouldn't be the photographer to stand in Gunfire to get it.

Show me photo taken in the middle of Pickets charge or something, couse you know i posted battle of Sedan.

I think the first combat photos were during the Crimean war, in the 1850's. Could be wrong.

No just photos of dead people

This looks very brilliant!! When can we download the first version / beta?

Soon enough, Our main texturer is redoing the Prussians and doing cavalry, as well as the French uniforms, but he is Australian, and we all know whats going on in Australia

I think photographers during the American Civil War were smart enough not to photograph in the middle of a battle so that they didn't get shot and killed.

I guess it's probably not worth arguing anyway.

It wasnt bullets you had to be afraid of, it was the Krupp shells

**EmperorBatman999** · February 06, 2011, 02:49 PM

Come to think of it, I don't think there many mid-combat photos in any war. I've seen photage but no photographs.

This photo of Sedan..has it been confirmed for authenticity??as there have been several such shots from wars that have since been debunked as propaganda or mistaken content...very interesting if it is confirmed authentic combat

**Shugo560** · February 06, 2011, 04:51 PM

that "Photograph" of the battle of sedan just looks like a detailed painting to me though

, im sure alot of people have seen alot of detailed paintings and drawings of battle's that couldve fooled us as a photo

**Chevalier IX** · February 06, 2011, 05:18 PM

Well my thing with the photo is more the issue that I fail to see the opposing French or any sign of them whatever in this supposed combat photo,therefore we have nothing but the word of the photographer that this was indeed shot in the midst of a fire fight,which as I have stated has been previously claimed and debunked.I have to ask why more photos of this battle were not shot by this supposedly stalwart cameraman....needless to say the Battle of Sedan would have offered him plenty of opportunity to do so...as well the reason we have not seen many more such shots crop up is camera technology did not really grant much the luxury of just setting up in the midst of a battle and secondly such photographers and journalists were rightly kept well away from the struggle unless they were looking to set up some staged propaganda shots...thus I suspect the authenticity of the content of this photo..for seriously if such was tenable out of the thousands of photos we have of the ACW can it really be said in confidence not a one of them would be of combat proper????

If you were interested in this certain war as much as we are you would have heard about that photo before. Ah i miss Discovry channel from old times, so many interestion documentaries, one of them about F-P war revealed they story behind the picture, author stood in frot of french positions from what i remeber and whats even better old cameras required some time to take a picture so imagine standing there for like 30 seconds hheh.

**Chevalier IX** · February 07, 2011, 09:38 AM

Indeed but we have also heard supposed stories about the famed mid battle picture of the Battle of Verdun that features the apparently shot storm trooper in mid charge.It too featured background story and explanation but has since in more recent times been debunked as propaganda..I am not saying it is false out of hand I am just a skeptic when it comes to these things.Consider my aforementioned factors.And yeah I too miss the days when Discovery and History channel covered more varied points of history.Many people are not even aware of this war which I find tragic.No matter.Either way I am really looking forward to the release of this mod

**rungail** · February 07, 2011, 02:11 PM

Is there will be a beta soon?

**'Gunny** · February 07, 2011, 02:49 PM

Soon enough

Ive still got some issues going on with the Austrians, and Quad is redoing the uniforms

**Spartan262** · February 07, 2011, 05:25 PM

Whats Wrong with the Austrians?

**'Gunny** · February 07, 2011, 06:02 PM
