Latin American unit of tang

[tangjinfeng]

Hi everyone, making units for Latin America has been my desire for many years. The original reason was that I played doc many years ago, and Latin American civilization was always ridiculously replaced by a Spanish look, when in fact they were completely different. It's just that at that time I was a child, I didn't know English, I didn't know how to modify cultural groups and units (there was a dead CIV forum in China, but the users didn't know how to make models), I couldn't use Google because of the difference in information, and I never knew what the Latin American army really looked like. It wasn't until I graduated from high school that my first interest in the military in Latin America was because of the Venezuelan film Libertadores. After that, I watched some American and Mexican movies (like the Alamo in 1960 and 2004, The Mexican Storm, One Man's Hero, and Cinco de Mayo, La Batalla) and honestly the Mexican army really appealed to me.

I envision the army of the New Spain-Mexican Republic or Empire as the Enlightenment and Industrial Age army of the Aztec civilization, and the army of the Viceroyalty and Republic of Peru as the Enlightenment and Industrial Age Inca army. I really don't like the fact that the natives in coyote suits are holding rifles, maybe it looks cool, but it's very unrealistic, which reminds me of the elite troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the "tiger soldiers", who ended up being easily wiped out by the British or French line infantry, which is not a good memory for us. For us Asians, historical Asian armies in the 19th century were trying to imitate Europeans as much as possible

I find some 1860s Mexican Republican Army uniforms and then simply took advantage of the MightyToad's Civil War Unit Pack, whose bones were easily replaceable... So I made several different Mexican riflemen and artillerymen, including:
riflemen：3rd Bn.Mobile nat.gd, Line Infantry (1856-1869), 2nd Morelia bn.nat.gd and 6th Line inf.bn，I modified for them two Enfield rifles (2Band and 3Band, 18.7KB and 20kb respectively, slightly larger than the original 15kb rifles), which were the main weapons of the Mexican army in the Franco-Mexican War
artillerymen：White uniformed artillery with Napoleon cannons (battles in Puebla or on the northern border) and standard uniformed artillery with Parrot cannons (used by the Mexicans to attack Querétaro later in the war)

Although it was tough it looked like I was finishing some Santa Ana soldiers, they included line infantry (wearing tropical clothing), Mexican city garrison, Permanente and Activo, including 2 different uniforms of light infantry (one similar to contemporaneous American soldiers, one wearing long shako), Cazadors and grenadiers belonging to line infantry battalions. The trouble is that the original files are large and it is difficult for me to shrink them, but they are all less than 120kb, if you think that too large you can replace it with the original flintlock or bayonetless brown bass, because the original flintlock is only 4kb, I made use of the Baker rifle in Bakuel and the bayonet brown bass found in the forum, they are relatively large, 13 and 15kb - but they are historically true, the British exported a large stock of Indian version brown bess to Latin America after the Napoleonic Wars, Long brown bass and early Baker rifles, these weapons became the main weapons of the Mexican army in the 1820s.

Unfortunately, the uniforms of these soldiers are all "sin solapa", and "con solapa" has not been made for the time being, because the model is large - they will include the battalion of St. Patrick, the marines and the guard of Santa Anna
