[PunitorMaximus]

no big deal. 10 min work

[Whukid]

Found in personal items of Pvt James Cotter (survivors of the 6th Battalion Royal Irish after Battle of Ginchy)

jesus.. Out of a whole Battalion...? That's unreal.

[PriestGoneWild]

That's what it said, it's probably not counting wounded though.I like the the some of them are wearing German helmets.

[PriestGoneWild]

Whoops that wasn't the whole battalion it was a company from the 6th Battalion Royal Irish Regiment it doesn't say which company though.

Thanks man, you rock!
Also, you might want to add Leg-wrappings to the Dutch Infantry, it is also shown in the link:

Just scroll down a bit, you'll see coloured drawings.
(I wish I could just copy and paste the image I meant, but the site does not allow me. )

By the way, would Bicycle regiments be a good suggestion?

By the way, would Bicycle regiments be a good suggestion?

It's for us impossible, we can't make new animations and new mount models (for the bicycles).

[PunitorMaximus]

i know that the dutch were really fond of cyclists in ww1 era. but i cant tell you anything different than GF

[Kdssow]

How about Dutch Hussars? I recon there is a picture of their uniforms on that URL I gave.
Will it help out?

[PunitorMaximus]

they already exist

black-white striped cap
should be better visible ingame.

[Kdssow]

Nice, are the officers and artillerists skinned as well?

[Kdssow]

Uhoh, where are their boots?

[PunitorMaximus]

its a model with 2 types of legs.
one with the throusers in the boots and another vice versa

officers and artillery: every faction uses the regulars for artillery and the best fitting infantry type for the officers. meaning there are no own models for them.

[PriestGoneWild]

I was thinking maybe you could add MP units, they could get a bonus when they are garrisoning a town but they are not very good in combat and troops are less likely to route(since MPs are the guys who are probably going to execute you for cowardice).

British MP

American MPs

British Cap Badge

[PunitorMaximus]

as im making kinda armed citizenry, or better "troops that appear when a city is attacked" for almost every faction, its more than possible i´d make them someday

[ComnenusTheOne]

Would MPs take part in any kind of fight?

[PriestGoneWild]

Well alot of Military Police served as runners on the Western Front, they had to guide stragglers and get the walking wounded back to the rear, also 375 British MPs died on the Western Front.

[ComnenusTheOne]

Hmmm.... well in that case, the British just got their "Armed Citizenry" unit in the face of their MPs, me thinks. What say you PM?

[PunitorMaximus]

yep unit approved.
for GB and US the MP is the equivalent to the armed citizenry.

[Kdssow]

Will forts like these apply to the mod?
This fort is built in approximatelly the 1890's at Hoek van Holland.

Edit: I suggest that the fort itself should be able to be entirelly garrisoned in order for the 2 main turrets to work. (the two bubbles on top of it contained 2 artillery cannons each)

RE-EDIT: The fort-type is called "Pantser-fort" in Dutch. ("Armour fortress" when litterally translated)

If you like the idea and plan to mod it, make sure it is one of the highest achievable fortress stage, since these forts are rare.

RE-RE-EDIT: The guns were already old-fashioned when 1900 came along, but these turret-types were everywhere to be seen, expecially at Sedan etc.

[Kdssow]

Here I have a suggestion for a regular fortress (Note that most fortresses by then had a moat)

This is a dutch one too, nevertheless, these are state of the art fortresses, expecially during the great war.
