historically correct

[phoen!x]

To be 100% correct, I guess you know that shooters in this age used a stick to hold the rifle ? Just one thing I noticed ...

Musket stands were used in the early battles but were quite quickly phased out.

They'd be a nice addition to have for atleast one or two early musket units, but I can't make the animation.

depends, for example elite spanish musketeers used forks even for arquebuses - they allowed more accurate fire

thought so to about animations and I guess only two types of weapons are possible. That would have ment that they, when movong, have that "stand" extended.

Another thing: I miss drummers could you make some ?? Maybe one like a falg barrier behind the unit officer. Or a drummer unit with moral effects? Would be veeery realistic ... And flautists

AND another thing.
Would you think it was a good idea to enlarge the order delay time ? Because, in reality orders needed a whole time until the courier came to the officer to tell him what to do. And THEN the order gets executed.

This would mean that every move on the battlefield would have to be planed exactly. And a higher level of realism imo, because nobody can see everything from above like in MTW.

So the overview makes the battle a bit too "clean" because mistakes of planing are essential part of battles.

Swedish Muskeeters with Musket stands.

Try to remember that this isn't the same period as either the Spanish tercio or the Swedish wars with Poland.

The vast majority of musketeers did not use musket stands in the ECW. They were definitely not the rule. In general muskets in this period were light enough and short enough that they did not need a stand to be fired.
