Dear Christiaan,
You don't hurt me at all
You are right about the cuffs size but this is the same between the british and the hanoverians
and anybody is (wrongly..) generally thinking that british and hanoverian uniforms were the same.
In an other hand, the problem about the cartridge, the lapels and the collar is right !!! I totally agree with you on this point.
About the lapels and the collar, it's why I thought about the french uniform (for me Hät would have to propose french uniforms with and without lapels : doing that, foreign units in french army could be made).
For me, the main problem is the cartridge which is like the british one, positionned on the stomach (but the russian one seems more long).
So, you are right : too much differences and national peculiarities.
Hät would have to propose infantry (musketeers in vest and in coat, grenadiers and pandours) without forgetting the boots for Observation corps.
I would ask also for a special artillery box, with some unicorn guns, not forgetting the large wagons which always slowed a lot their marches.
Many thanks again for your very constructive and very kind answer
Dear Cyrano,
I have to confess that, me too, I don't like to make conversions but, I would prefer that Hät begins to produce armies we can't paint at all (even with conversions) instead than armies we perhaps can make with conversions.
For me, to paint the prussian cuirassiers will not give a lot of problems : we can use the Strelets swedish GNW cuirassiers (like we have seen with the very beautifull pictures sent this afternoon) or the saxon napoleonic cuirassiers, simply changing the heads.
But, to paint, for exemple, the austrian grenzers is presently impossible
Of course, I hope Hät and Zvezda will propose very soon all the 5 principal armies : prussian, austrian, russian, british and french....
