Bavaria

Well I must say the new uniforms for all the nations looks great. Even though the Bavarian helmet is all wrong and looks more like the helmet minus the crest from about the 1860s. Hopefully the modders will be able to change the helmet to look more correct but I must say they did a good job with the uniforms and the militia actually looks good too.

So all the fans of Bavaria and people who have ancestors in the Bavarian army the uniforms are close enough, but we are just missing the correct helmet but it is still a good start.

By the way all the shaking kinda made me dizzy at first when I stood up haha

No pics of the uniforms in question? :/

man i was really hoping they would get the bavarian uniform right...

i found this just by spending 10 seconds at google images and searching for Bavarian Uniform Napoleonic Era...
thumps down for that CA

EDIT: lol pic is from this page http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...26tbs%3Disch:1

Can you post a screen since I don't have NTW yet?

Uniform is correct but the helmet is very wrong sadly.

Still in game the uniform had a yellow lapel with red around the cuffs and lining with Cornflower Blue uniform. So just we need the helmet replaced and I dont know how to take pictures lol

CA is not known for their in-depth (2 minute Google search) historical research.

Better than the clones from ETW though, you have to admit.

Yea but the sad thing if they only gave the Bavarian army the helmet I believe from either Denmark or Swedish cavalry unit it would be closer than the crap one it has now. But yes at least it looks nicer

You can make a Screenshot with pressing "Print" then alt-tab, open Paint and press strg + v then save and upload it.
A picture of this helmet would be very interesting

yeah this really interests me since im from bavaria
please take some pics if you find time

I am found of bavarians troops, hope modders will succed to make accurate troops.

All Knotel plates great artist

So i took pictures in game but I can not find the pictures can someone help me? I have a lot of screens and would like to show you which helmet was used for Bavaria and what in game helmet would be better.

Nicolas by the way you avatar is a early war Bavarian infantry I believe. The way you can tell is the way his backpack is worn. On the side or hip was Prussian fashion from Frederick The Great period which would be pre 1806 for Bavaria. On the back in the French style became popular with the Bavarian army around 1807-1809 and then finally they adopted french 6 company and three rank firing drill before 1812 because before that I believe they had 4 or 5 companies one being Grenadiers and then fired in 2 ranks.

If you all like Bavaria a great book is John Gills To Glory with Eagles all about the German Allies fight in 1809 campaign. I am Hessian and Bavarian and in the book they talk about Bavaria, Hesse, Baden, Wurtemburg, Saxony, and even all the smaller kingdoms like Westphalia.

if you speak german this is actually a quite interesting site

listing the uniforms of the years 1800 to 1814
from office to regular

did you manage to take some ingame pics? im pretty curious about them

It would help a lot if we can see the ingame pics instead of criticising something we can't see or know

It would be nice if u read actually when I said can someone help me find where the pictures I saved from the game. I swear some people just dont read

I took about 10 shots of the different helmets

As I wrote once
Press "Print"
alt + tab
then open Paint and press strg + v
now you have to save this picture somewhere and upload it
No problem?

how did you take your pics?
the way friedrich barbarossa explained to you or with fraps or a something like that?

Yes, use Fraps or any similar program.

The first photo is the Bavarian helmet now and the second photo is the Swedish Horse Guards helmets that look a lot closer than the original bavarian helmet.

Now the second photo is still not the correct Bavarian helmet because it would need more of a brim in front of the helmet and more gold plating but still I think it would have been a better choice. If they would of mixed these two helmet together and given the first picture the top half of the Swedish Horse Guard helmet it would of looked much better. What do you think?

Bavarian infantry regiment. The light infantry has the correct green uniform but just the helmet is not really that close. Some might not care about the helmet but it just doesnt look right on them. I believe that type of helmet would be closer to the Wurtemberg helmet that closely resembled the 1805 Austrian Roman-Greco Helmet style.

Still, it's pretty nifty that all the minors get their own skins

Even Piedmont (sp?) got their hats n' wigs
