NOTES on New Features on Release 10-3: The download contains the units below plus:
- New sounds - musket balls will whizz by your ears, and the impact of hits on the soldiers will render appropriate sounds, rather than the wailing banshees of vanilla.
- My European Equipment Mod with new brass drum, tricolor wrapped brass bugle.
- Eagles on the flagpole for appropriate infantry units (many thanks to Bart07 for this new addition).
- 2 completely new Hussar units, one "elite" with higher stats.
- A quality, rousing Version of La Marseilles for Main Menu music - this is a French mod after all.
- My original "Grouchymod" which replaces the in-battle music with the sound of distant guns and fighting; much more atmospheric - that looping music drove me crazy!.
- Completely revised French artillery pieces with more realistic wood - previously illustrated but not yet released (these are new and not the ones in my separatemod).
- Vanilla Line Infantry have the Campaign uniforms (separate veteran/campaign unit is recruitable as more skilled/experienced).
- New saddlecloth for the hussar horses (in addition to the more realsitic horses from the previous release).

NOTES on OG Reserve. This is a big unit of 395 men (2 unit recruitable). It's relentless, powerful and can be used to swing the battle just like my old cavalry reserve unit/concept. While it starts in a column, it is not like the colonne d'attaque - it's a normal unit with powerful firepower. It only costs "1" to buy and can be recuited with basic buildings - because where there is Napoleon there should be this unit! Maintenances costs are required, of course. This unit has been revised to improve the bearskin plate and now has the broader, earlier plastron, pre the reforms. Enjoy this new powerhouse!
NOTES on Sappers. This is an adaptation of an existing mesh which means the uniform has certain innacuracies and limitations.
2. Regimental Artillery Gun: This is a single gun unit to represent a period in 1812 where 3lb guns were asigned to infantry regiments to provide thier own support, psychological benefit, and increased firepower. NOTE: It only works with my main mod pack. Also use the latest text.pack for the name and description. Pack below.
3. Corsican Tirailleurs: Download contains a pack that will add the Corsican unit only, and also an updated names file so the unit name appears. Place the unit pack in the data folder and add to your user.script. Pack below.
I am done with modding for the foreseable future, and hope you all have enjoyed my work here!
