Thread: Historical French Military Camp

  1. #1

    Default Historical French Military Camp

    Greetings

    I have the goal of creating a scene (read map) for Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars multiplayer based on an authentic french military camp from the late 18th/early 19th century but haven't found good sources online. It's hard in my country (Portugal) to have access to such information in libraries though perhaps maybe in a specialized library at a university.

    I would like to find out about their structure, there were surely tents for the soldiers to sleep in, benches, wooden tables, cooking pots for eating and cooking, perhaps an ammo store to hold muskets, ammo and some artillery pieces, a field hospital to treat the sick, the wounded and the dying, a stable for the army's horses, etc

    That's the kind of information I'd like to get my hands on, maps, schematics, though text documents are fine too.

    With your help, the research would surely go much faster. Will you help me, providing information on the topic?

    Best regards,
    Fusilier

    Thank you Settra

    Unfortunately when I right click the second link I'm presented with:

    Yeah, it doesn't work for me anymore either. Anyway the first link has everything you need really, from maps to topological data and height maps. Camps in this time period were not highly standardized and were based more on local terrain than any specific style or pattern, so one french camp is as good as the other really.

    Fair enough. Thank you for your input Settra.
