    Cool, here is a picture to give you a little inspiration.

    Yep.

    @ Phallos: The penant is great. I wish we could figure out how to add small flags to the lances and flag poles.

    Yes, but I will be really glad if only the spontoon could be exchanged with a real lance

    I refuse to use the Uhlans now with that silly thing

    Unfortunately, the half pike doesn't work because it's too short. Too bad, because otherwise it looks exactly right.

    No, there's a half-pike that doesn't appear in vanilla, though the developers included it in the files. The pike that pike-men use is too long--I tried that too.

    Too short. I think the flag poles are their own model unless they're based on the full pike.

    I think I know where the short pike is used, it's used by Wahunsonacocks raider band thing in Episode 1 (They're found in the city in Maryland, Wahnockamocko or whatever)

    There must be a way to modify the lenght of the pikes for a good modder, don't you think?

    Well, I reckon we better find a good modder first Unfortunately, we can't edit models yet, though someone's supposedly working on the tools. I'll be happy to make a proper lance, once we have to software to do so

    Ok, thanks for the effort, I'll wait on the Uhlans.

    Besides, they only really came in to fashion during Napoleonic times, and always in small numbers. Frederick the Great experimented with Uhlans, but dropped them and kept to Dragoons, Hussars and Cuirassiers.

    I love the mod for no backpacks and boxes especially but one slight problem..

    THe skirmishers would have had backpacks wouldn't they, is there a unit specific way to do it?

    Yea, and militia-type infantry and cossack infantry should have backpacks, it doesn't look right without anything on their back a standard-issue ammo box instead...

    Light infantry were probalbly also used as recce in addition to screening/ambush/sniping, so it would be more logical if they backpacks so they could carry their sleeping bags and other various belongings along with them.

    I think his problem may be that it has to a be a whole spread of no backpacks or everyone has backpacks.

    That's precisely the problem. I'd like to offer people the option. I've tried several times to give backpacks to just light infantry, but I haven't been able to do it without losing ammoboxes for line troops.

    However, I'm not pursuaded there's historical evidence for soldiers regularly running around the battlefield with backpacks on, be they light infantry or not. I'm open to evidence that demonstrates otherwise, but I can't imagine many men would want to be fighting for their lives with 30 pounds of dead weight strapped to their backs unless they had no other choice. But, as I said, if you have proof to the contrary, I'd be interested to learn of it.

    One option is to give light infantry the cavalry equipment, which includes the smaller hip bag.

    Why would cossacks and militiamen be any different from other infantry?
