Special units which we want to see!

[StalinCore]

I think that Swedish Early Grenadiers look correctly. Look in EW's sources:

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

eh? Wasnt the Mithras Mitre hat always used?

MITRE!! not mithras-get your english straight

(but seriously, its mitre; I mentioned it in another thread)

actually, knoetel's reconstruction is ok IIRC, and so is osprey's (I prefer knoetel's reconstruction BTW). evidently two types were used, though I'm not sure how it worked on a regimental basis. I know that in the SYW, the one shown in knoetel's plate (brass front with a blue bad) was the correct one, though it was covered by a black waxed canvas to avoid confusion with the prussian mitres (also brass [or iron])

Didnt really know the name for it. And im not an Native-english ... But mithras was close, wasnt it?

[Vasa121]

"Mithra" is the Swedish word, eh?

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

no its not close-while the two are cognates, they sound little alike.

[Vasa121]

The Mitre would look like this:(early 18th century Swedish grenadier)

[Vasa121]

Hello?

Anything new?

Salvo, can you ask KLA if we will recieve the ottoman preview this month?

[Salvo]

He told me that we are very close to Ottoman preview. Unfortunetly September is queit busy week for him, but he will do it as fast as possible

[Vasa121]

Oh boy, can't wait for it!!

[Vasa121]

This would be the late swedish "Lifeguard of Foot"

[Vasa121]

I am also looking for a good picture of the Swedish artillery crew.

I hope these unit pics will be put to good use

[Kimster2]

ill download for sure. but make the installation things specific. many people have problems because they assume wrong

[ELITEOFKINGWARMAN8]

Swiss Mercenaries.

[Vasa121]

I think that Swedish Early Grenadiers look correctly. Look in EW's sources:

That pikemans hat is not perfectly correct either, as the hat was regimental and the treecorne was more normal as regimental hat than the(in Swedish, as I don't know the English word) "Karpus" on the picture.

[Herr Lindstrom]

Don't care how many times I've said this but the Dutch need to be voiced forever

DUTCH MARINES DUTCH MARINES DUTCH MARINES!

HOAAA!

[Salvo]

KLA is finishing Dutch previewDon't worry mate

[Herr Lindstrom]

WOOOHOOO THANK YOU SALVO FOR GOOD NEWS!!!! THANK YOU KLA FOR MAKING DUTCH PREVIEW! I RAISE MY BEER MUG TO YOU! SKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

[Vasa121]

Herr Lindstrom, are you a Swede, a Dane or a Dutchman?

I think that my nationality has been shown in my signature

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

he's Danish. why do you think he voted against the Ottomans being included?

Swiss Mercenaries.

WT...?

these are palace guards (since we ARE dealing with the 18th century), not field mercenaries. Depending on who they are serving, whether spain, France, or the papal states, they will, respectively, wear dark blue or red. also, the uniform would have been in the typical army cuts, again depending on nationality.
