Hello All!

In 1789, the revolution that began in France destroyed a centuries-old monarchy, plunging the country into an era of bloody chaos. Brutal struggle of the young Republic with numerous external and internal enemies forced to emigrate most disagree with the new regime. Once outside their homeland, the French royalists created a number of military formations for armed struggle for the restoration of the monarchy. The most famous was the Corps of Prince de Conde.

Thank you, I will definitely put it in my library. Unfortunatelly, as this book is quite old, some info is already outdated.

It's amazing . Chic surprise!
You did not find information about how it was with one element of this corps of immigrants - a white armband in honor of mourning for the monarch?

"It should be noted that all the soldiers of the "Conde Army" were distinguished by one common external detail - a white cloth bandage on the left sleeve of the uniform. On its front there was an image of royal heraldic lilies (three from the nobles of all chips and one from hired soldiers), which were originally blue and then (from 1793) turned black as a sign of mourning for the executed Louis XVI. Such dressings emphasized the elite character of the emigrant formations and pointed to the unity of the political views of the “Kondytsy” 29.

I have not studied this period in detail, after the adaptation of the military charter in the service in Russia.
Interestingly, they retained these dressings or not ..

Thanks. And no, I did not find any information neither visual nor written how it was with this bandage. From that article it is not really clear did they continue to wear it during russian service. As a sign of mourning for the executed Louis XVI was choosen black as regimental colour, I believe.

Yes you are right . Although I will still try to find something with illustrations in the old editions about these notorious dressings. But I must tell you that your emigre regiments are a paradox. They completely and successfully replace Pavlov's "Prussian reform" of a later time. Great view .

Exactly, with all those models which are already done, anyone interested could easly create any kind of unit from Paul reign by symply cloning and modifing texture (e. g. colours) up to the taste.

**ROMAL** · January 03, 2020, 07:27 AM

Why is this regimental set still not included in the official assembly?
After all, this is a minimal and very good addon ..
With each update you will have to look for a new localization patch

I think this sub-mod is not designed for the latest IS release; but it is so for the previous one. I think if you added it to the latest update you may not be able to see the names and descriptions of these units as well.

Why don't the mod developers make an option for this and other submods in their download launcher as a separate button, or is it so difficult to include this add-on into the official version for a long time? ..
