Brilliant work! They look great, especially the more mixed up uniform set. THis is good news, we're well on our way now, if NSD can open the relevant files up for MP, to see many, many more nations and unifoprms se the light of day from TC2M days.

Do you know if there were ever any Austrian infantry made in the kaskett hat, or that odd short, false-fronted hat whose name I now forget?

And yes, that American Revolutionary War sprite set does sound interesting since we already have the perfect maps for them!
Napoleonic Austrian Infantry was never released for TC2M unfortunately sorry but no early 1800 Austrian troops to port over - would have been nice!

Some more shots as promised.....

Montebello Marengo Ampfing and Hohenlinden Beta release with Early French Napoleonic/Revoltion troops

Okay here we go: I have included the four OOBs: I suggest you play them in order (but really up to you guys)

1. Montebello
2. Marengo
3. Ampfing
4. Hohenlinden

They are about as accurate I as can get them, several sources used and checked against each other
I have also included some reference material included a full overview of the battles and background on some of the participants. Please read as lots of interesting info in there.

Now I was just going to release the above however it was suggested that revolutionary sprites would be a good idea- A while back Bedbug did Napoleonic sprites for TC2M unfortunately the mod was never carried through to the end but it does mean that we have some early French sprites to use. Therefore I have ported these over with a bit of trial and error these seem to be working okay (tinkering with the structure of some of the sprite actions). I have also re-skinned a couple of sprites so we now have:

1. Early French Line Infantry Troops -3 Variants
2. Re-skined Early French Light Infantry Troops 2 Variants
3. Garde Consulaire Pied Grenadiers 2 Variants
4. Garde Consulaire Pied Chasseurs

Sorry but no early Austrian Troops as these were never done for TC2M I’m afraid

I have also included a breakdown for the OOBs which will be useful for any table top campaigners or just for in game reference. There are no maps for these but I have been playing on Davinci’s 10 mile map and the recently release random map packs – If someone would like to make any maps for these battle fantastic – I would love to see it happen and I would be more than happy to help with research or any testing. ***Update*** Sprites are Hi-Res only so you need to set uniforms at 'Best' in settings (thanks Jack for pointing this out in you post - Zeke)
