    Default Re: Errors of units in the NTW

    They seem to have got the Pavlograd Hussars' right...I'm not sure about that shako, it seems like the wide style which didn't have the plume, as opposed tot he narrow sort which did...pretty minor detail, though :P

    Awesome regiment, too. They managed to tie up a whole French army for a day.


    The 17th jaegers are more or less correct, although they're lacking shoulder straps (yellow). And those wicked sideburns, while awesome looking, would probably have got the guy in the foreground flogged.

    It seems odd to make Russia's "elite" unit a shooty one. The stereotypical image of Russia at the time is that they were good in the melee and balls at shooting.

    Again, a good, if somewhat odd choice. The 17th Jaegers were a Caucasian unit, from Georgia, I think. They managed to hold off some absurd amount of Persians in one of the Russo-Persian wars, though.

    EDIT:
    Ah, almost missed the Moscow Musketeers. The uniform is alright, I suppose...again, missing the shoulder straps. They're using the old-style shako, though, which makes me sad. I much prefer the 1812 pattern.

    This one seems a somewhat...odd choice in comparison to the others...they weren't really an especially famous regiment, besides being one of the oldest in the army.
