"Les Aigles" aka Bart 07 units add-on [1.13 released on 08/22/2013]

[Bart07]

It is impossible to me to make texture from this quality. Good Hint. However, i can wait Imperial Splendour 3' texture and change the colour... the texture of this mod will be certainly better.

Hint

The new texture... not really better.

[Bart07]

- Légion Portugaise - Chasseurs à cheval, Portuguese Legion - Chasseurs,
- British Grenadiers (peninsular),
- British Grenadiers,
- 60th Rifles,
- Royal Corsican Rangers,
- Light Companies,
- Light Companies (peninsular),
- Royal Military College,
- Line Infantry (peninsular).

[Bart07]

Right, they look like plastic toy soldiers (especially the barrel). I will work on the gloss and maybe normal to change this effect.

I think there is still room for improvment of you texture. It looks too plastic, and not enough metallic I think.

Bravo! +rep asap =)

Strange to see British grenadier with Bearskin

[Bart07]

It is a parade item, however, the british seems to wear them on some battles of the peninsular campaign. I choose to represent them with bearskin for more fun (With shakos, the only difference with light co is the colour of the plume !!!!!!)

I thought only the Guard got them for parade, and were allowed to wear it in campaign only after Waterloo. Maybe Prince of Essling has more info.

[Bart07]

Not only guard, scots greys, royal fusiliers, certainly genious wore also them

You can see in this link, grenadier of the 54th and 58th.

You can find others on the net.... even if it is not an absolute reference.

I think some units wore them at Barossa and Albueja in 1811.

I send a pm to prince about it. He certainly know the truth....

I think the painters are using artistic licence.

Richard Simkin "Uniforms of the British Army - the Infantry" says "...the introduction of the shako made the grenadier fur cap an item for ceremonial duties. The 'stove-pipe' shako continued on service with the white plume now worn on front and the device of a flaming grenade might appear on the shako plate." He does illustrate an officer and a private wearing the cap and says "...in 1814 service dress .......although may have been worn at home only."

I will add to this after I have had time to consult other books on the military dress of the British Army.

Edit: Have now looked at Volume 5 CP Lawson "A History of the Uniforms of the British Army". page 15 says "The fur caps of grenadiers & pioneers were handed into store on going on active service." Followng Waterloo, Wellington allowed regiments to call back from England the grenadier & band fur caps as he was conscious of the poor look of British units compared to their Austrian, Prussian & Russian regiments in their tall headdresses and towering plumes.

Page 111 of C E Franklin "British Napoleonic Uniforms" says "...The Grenadiers & drummers usually wore the shako when on campaign...".

Despite the evidence, one can never say never as the Napoleonic Wars is full of exceptions to the rules......

Scots grey are not grenadiers.

And for the Fusilier, they had a bearskin, but with a different shape I think.

[Bart07]

I never said scots grey are grenadiers. I only said than other units than Guards wore Bearskin.

[Steph]

Actually, I also used a Bearskin for the British, but I reserved that for kind of what if units, if someone capture England and recruit grenadier, they'd have a Bearskin, to differentiate them from "real" British units.

Anyway, the more the merrier

So, british grenadiers bearskin exist but only in parade and not in campaign.
I will replace the bearskin by a shako even if i would have prefered to see them with it.

Thx steph and prince

[Steph]

I think the Grenadiers in the few Fusilier regiments (like the Royal Welch) did use a Bearskin, but not the same shape as this one.

[Steph]

Fur hat of the Royal Welch


vs Tall bearskin of the Scots Grey (here used for my "what if" guards in case of occupation of England by a foreign power)
