will it be compatible with DMUC?
will it be compatible with DMUC?
This looks like it should be quite good, I'm nexcited to see how it will turn out.
Couple questions about the unit roster,
I don't see any Irregular/light infantry, any plans for a Coureurs des Bois or canadian Militia unit?
How about adding the Cannoniers-Bombardiers? They were considred the elite of the troops of New-France and could be represented as a unique Grenadier regimentrecruitable in Quebec.

Thanks
Actually, I've only planned the "corps de cavalerie".
The unit will use the FR_CAV_DRAGONS_INDIA.
About "Canonniers-Bombardiers", it seems that we can use the FR_INF_GUARD model.
I've found few information about canadian militias.
Question is, should I represent them in winter or in summer clothes (and not uniform...).
About natives and others light troops, I will probably work on them later.
First, I have to finish cavalry models.
If you have documents or picture about French colonial unit from Nouvelle France or Louisiana you can post them in this thread.
(1) Canada - 1750 : corps de cavalerie
(2) Canada - 1750 : miliciens
(3) Canada - 1756 : volontaires étrangers
Coureur Des Bois
Mission Indian
Canadian Militia
Wangrin if you don't see any disadvantages, I will texture the " Compagnie franche marine", something like that:

Do you agree?
PS: RexImperator thank you for your pictures, it will be really helpful!
Thanks for pictures
They come from Osprey - Men at Arms - Montcalm's Army.
Light and irregular Canadian tropps will need a new model.
I will have a look later.

So, "à toi de jouer" Flikitos
I've finished the FR_CAV_GUARD model.
It will be use for :
- Maison du Roi : Garde du Corps du Roi ;
- Maison du Roi : Compagnie des Gendarmes de la Garde Ordinaire du Roi
- Maison du Roi : Compagnie des Chevau-Légers de la Garde Ordinaire du Roi
- Gendarmerie de France
- Maréchaussée (use as a police force)
- Compagnies de la Connétablie (could be use as guard unit for general or as an elite police force)
The model could be also use for :
- Maison du Roi : Compagnies des Mousquetaires de la Garde Ordinaire du Roi

Thanks Carricanta
So, "city" militia could be dress with red uniform.
But I really think that "common" militia should not have real uniform.
I forgot where I read that militia had a red hat (I don't know how to translate "bonnet" )
In the spanish case, the militias are differents... the city militia could be more "fashionable" ´cause the own councils and guilders could made these troops -like the Milicia of my town*- and the "common" militia -like the "caudillatos" in Galiza- were, really, peasants with different weapons and without uniforms. The provincial were organized with a regulated uniform and, their grenadiers were employed like infantry line in campaign out of the province -like the Italian Wars-.

wangrin, if I can be of any help, please do not hesitate. I know my way around the French army of North America for the 7YW era. I also have quite a lot of material from Osprey (mainly) if you need any.

Well, you're right Geronimo
I will edit this immediately.
I'm working on DaNova hussar model.
I've modified mirliton's pennon and I'm adding a new sabretache.
The mirliton will be use for light infantry model too.
Do you mean, like a general OOB, but for the entire duration of the war there (ie. regiments, various units and the like)?
As for the Natives, I'll see wath I can get you tonight.
Great, a new painter! This mod will be really great!
Did you ever make a texture for units from ETW?
