Soldiers of the Queen mod?

Post by Crikey »

I wonder if something like this might ever be possible in a mod?

The existing Nappy sprites might just about cover the Crimean War with some imagination.I'd suggest that this is probably a mod which suits the current engine best.

The existing Zulu-era Brits would need some additions and some foes. Zulus, Mahdist forces or Egyptians. Arguably, Boers could be made up of some rag tag rebs but the dismounted cavalry would need work.

An interesting MP idea might see fast moving Zulu Impis seeking to intercept British forces before they can combine/organise or reach particular objectives.

Just food for thought.

Modern rifles might be a problem but Rebs could be used for Boers and the Pith-helmeted Brits for a Boer War mod.

The Crimea is fairly close. As you say British uniforms haven't changed that much. You can use Union Zouaves for the French and possibly Prussian Landwher for the Russians (who ALL wore greatcoats).
HITS & Couriers - a different and realistic way to play SoW MP.
