[Dom Pedro II]

Woo hoo! Nice! I was wondering when somebody was going to do this.

 

[Johann MacLeod]

i thought they wore Fezes in WWI.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

No, actually, they had helmets that sort of resembled the old pith helmets...

Cheers guys- I actualy found several different pictures of that thing- err hat- so I went for the version that came out best... that said the unit looks its best in civ-colour 9 (brown)

 

[Steph]

There is one to in BeBro's list.

Interesting detail : the helmet had no visor for religious reason : one should not hide his eyes from the sun...
Very convenient in battle!

 

[BeBro]

Nice unit, W.i.n.t.e.r

 

[El Justo]

I didn't realize that Bayonets were still in use by WW1....weren't they discarded some time after the opening of the war and the devolving of the combat into Trench Warfare?

 

[Mobilize]

.. Bayonets were still in use in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.. some countries still use them. They were probably most used and most beneficial in WWI.

In use but not necessarily useful

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Some countries indeed- even the US is developing future rifles that bear a possibility to attach bayonets. From the pic you can see, however, that since WWII the banonet is shorter, its blade meant more as a knife alternate rather than old style stabbing instrument.

I've been very dissapointed by the slow advancement this century. They promised my parents that we'd have laser weapons, flying cars, and commercial and military spaceflight to other planets by now....wheres the beef?

 

[nameless53]

offT: (i do believe we do have laser weapons.)

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

offT: (and flying cars)

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Nope....no ray guns, just laser guided missiles.....theres a huge difference. No flying cars either....unless the car dealers near you are different where you live....

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Well I didn't say you can purchase them- they have been designed and built and tested as prototypes- and they work...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Really? Interesting...You must be alot better informed than I..
