Re: 1809Vers5 Napoleonics....
Some very nice looking units in there now, does justice to the colour and pageantry of Napoleonic armies, I'll be sure to give it a try :2thumbsup:
Re: 1809Vers5 Napoleonics....
Ahh, glad to see this coming along FalkonFive. It wasn't that long ago when I remember you coming onto this forum for some advice on where to get started - now you've progressed very quickly. :2thumbsup:
Re: 1809Vers5 Napoleonics....
Good work !
I will surely download that stuff.
I hope you don't mind 'stealing' anything ?
I am looking for something as close to the late XVIIth Hungarian Hussars as possible - one of last few animations I can add to PMTW while the tests will last...

A minor issue for sure, but those coats over their shoulders are quite unique and too difficult to add by myself. Only few units will use these in my mod, but I don't like leaving any space I can possibly use...
Re: 1809Vers5 Napoleonics....
Thanks for the kind remarks guys, praise from the 'wise ones' is praise indeed!
Absolutely right Raz, without the articles on the Guild and some sage advice it wouldn't have been possible. We've been asked to do a demonstration of 1809 at the British Army wargames convention In Rheindalen, Germany at Easter. The pressure was on to make it look as smart as possible in pretty short order. They say the best way to learn is 'on the job'. Thanks to the Guild once again.
With regard to your Hussars, Cegorah theres a couple of hussar models we have
that may do the trick. The headgear will need adjusting but they have the jackets in place. just a case of getting the colours right. be glad to send you the BIF's if you can supply an e mail address. I can be contacted at falkonfive@hotmail.com or just take 'em out of the files when the download is out.
Regards

Re: 1809Vers5 Napoleonics....
Perfect.
I can change the heads myself - I have prety many to use for that + the entire thing is very simple with cavalry models.
I would like to see all your hussar models because I have only few palettes left.
Please use my usual e-mail address - cegorach77@o2.pl :yes:
Thanks For the Info, Falkonfive
I will keep my eye on your website for that download. Thank you, too, for that link. Obviously that will make it easier to keep watch. Are you confining your work to the major powers only or will you also include lesser factions like the Spanish, Poles, Bavarians, Rhine Confederation, etc.? Also, will you do any campaigns? Lack of a campaign has been a big issue with some Napoleonic 2 TW players; if you check out the Lordz forums you will see that for yourself. Didn't someone - maybe you - post there recently about 1809 NTW? I sort of half noticed it - I guess I'll have to give that one a closer look. One more thing for the moment - what is the significance, if any, of having 1809 in the mod title? Just curious, as ever. Thanks again for all your work on this mod.

Re: 1809Vers5 Napoleonics....
Hi Gentlemen,
Re your query re campaigns Noone. Its an area I intend to have a look at. Can't make any promises on time as I know as much about NTW campaigns as I knew about modding 4 weeks or so ago. I appreciate it would be a useful addition to Vers 5 and would like to do something along those lines. Concerning minor Napoleonic nations I'm pretty confident that there will be a series of patches including at lest some of them. Now the pressures off for the main mod It will make a nice change to play about with some graphics for the smaller nations at a more leisurely pace. If you look at the V5 section on our forum where it lists the troop types already available you'll see theres quite a lot of Confederation and Allies in with the French already, same with the Brits who have Portuguese and some Spanish line. The 1809 thing kinda just arrived, no particular reason apart from we decided fairly early on that we would build the mod around that period. As you know the qualities and capabilities of troops of all nations varied over the period of the Napoleonic Wars. One day we intend to bring out a post 1812 version and probably a Revolutionary one for the early North Italian stuff.

Be glad to have ya, now you have some pretty Prussians to play with!! :beam:
I Had a Look at the 1809 Site Later Yesterday
The Northern Italian Grenadiers in particular looked good. While I was there I signed up so that is one more addition to my forums "collection".
Re: I Had a Look at the 1809 Site Later Yesterday
By GOD!
Why have I not seen this??!
I am playing a Prussian NTW campaign which is publicised in the Main Hall.
This would be the perfect addition to my fun!
Please tell me, while I keep searching and looking for an answer and more information, I must ask;
Will it make my previous Save Games useless - if I install this, will I need to start a new campaign?
Re: 1809Vers5 Napoleonics....
Hiya Glen,
Don't see why you can't use your old savegames but it's best checked with the Technical crew. Just leave a post on the 1809 site.
Regards,
