1st Lieb Hussars:
Considering the âdevil-may-careâ attitude of many light cavalry units at the time, who prided themselves on being crazy and vicious bastards, the answer may well have been âHell yes, brotherâ
Basically 19th century Hells Angels on horses instead of hogs.
No way those hats are real
WTF is that Russian âJagerâ helmet
Whatâs a âJagerâ in this context, anyway?
mine is bigger than yours
âJagerâ, meaning âHunterâ, was a term popularized by the efficient use of German states of the period of hunters and foresters, and militia derived from them, as skirmishers and light infantry. Some would have used rifles, others would have simply been in loose formation and good shots with a smoothbore, depending on the polity and unit. The use of the term spread beyond the German states, due to the efficiency and reputation of German Jager units.
dear PĂŒgjesĂŒs, donât neglect the Ă in JĂ€ger
itâs sad and lonely without its dots
Sorry, Iâm an American, my attention span is too short to remember the keyboard shortcuts for diacritics.
Would that be like a sniper unit, to the extend that the technology of the time permitted sniping? Like a unit with greater firing range than usual?
Something like that. The notion of modern sniping, including consistent concealment, was not known, and âsnipingâ in the sense of targeting specific figures at long distance was fairly new at this point - long rifles in the American Revolution ~20 years before had shocked Britain into forming their own experimental rifle corps, which practiced similar techniques - but more generally that good marksmen are wasted in the âStand in the line and fireâ style needed for most idiots to hit the literal broad side of a barn.
The advantage of such light infantry and skirmisher marksmen is that, by deploying ahead of the main force in loose formation, theyâre too few and too spaced apart for the enemy lines to bother wasting a volley on (or if they do stop and fire a volley, far fewer skirmishers are killed than line-infantry would be, and a lot of the enemyâs maneuvering time is wasted), but the skirmishers can still inflict casualties on the rank-and-file due to their excellent marksmanship.
Just FIY, a is an entirely different letter than Ă€. If no Ă€ is available, you can write it as ae (Jaeger). Same for ö and ĂŒ.
If only Bonaparte was actually as based as 4
I love that the prussian JĂ€ger could just as well be a pompous post manâs hat
Iâm kinda liking highland infantry there. Looks cozy
Same, itâs a subtle style. At least, subtle in comparison to the rest.
I also like the Landwehr.
Landwehrâs sleek and more modern, but I canât get over that the last two hats are a great fit if you and your friend wanted to dress comically evil.
All french hats here are ugly. The UK one are pretty much the same but in ugly grey. Except for the Dragon which is cool enough for all of them. Other hats are not perfect but at least the empires seems to have found a style a stick to it.
