    From what I've researched, the 10th Louisiana "Lee's Foreign Legion" had a Zouave uniform aswell but I can't find any info on what it looked like. Will the 10th have a zouave uniform in game?

    Fournet's command ultimately received the official designation 10th Louisiana Infantry Battalion, but it was more commonly known by its nickname, the Yellow Jackets Battalion. While it sounds as if the nickname derived from the wasp-like insect known for its vicious sting, that was not the case at all. In a letter written after the war, a former officer of the battalion [MAJ Arthur SIMON] explained, '... It received the name of Yellow Jackets Battalion as most of the men were dressed with home made yellow cottonade suits. ...'

    Nobody knows, how such yellow cottonade suits looked like. So they will mostly share a regular Louisiana Zouave uniform.

    Its the same, the 10th LA was known as the Yellow Jackets Battalion, inside the LA Tigers. They had a uniform, which consists of yellow cottonade suits.

    It wasn't. The Yellow jacket Battalion was consolidated with the 18th La infantry to form the 18th Louisiana Regiment, the 18th LA reg didn't fight in the AnV, The 10th LA reg did. The 10th is known as Lee's foreign legion and had a zouave uniform aswell.

    Ohh well.. so basicly ragged Zouave uniforms then. Like the rest of the Tigers.

    Like

    1) Shell jacket, baggy pants, kepi
    2) Zouave jacket, Kersey pants, Fez
    3) Shell jacket, Baggy, Fez

    and such.

    That would work. But will you get to choose or will it just be only those three options? Like will you be able to select what pants you want to wear and then what jacket etc etc or will it be like a suit that is already put together kind like N&S? I hope it's separated into pieces like Jacket,Pants,Hat and not just sets you can choose from.

    Also just letting you know, Coppens had a different uniform from the rest of the Tigers

    Hinkel in the new "The fighting men" video what regiment is the one with the red kepi and pants? Is it the 14th NYSM? I'm not sure because the jackets don't look like the chasseur style jackets worn by the 14th.
