an fun facts and trivia welcome!
I personally really love the Polish Uhlans in Austrian and French armies
I have loved British paratrooper uniforms since I saw A bridge too far as a child. I don't know, maybe it's the helmet but those just look really nice to me.

>Some of the chasseurs were reckless bravados - in 1809 an officer of 20th Chasseurs dismounted so that he could go a little toward the enemy in order to relieve nature. When he was standing with his legs apart and facing the Austrians, a cannonball hit him killing on the spot.
>Sergeant Anton of the 42nd Highland recorded the attack of the lancers: "Marshal Ney ... observed our wild unguarded zeal, and ordered a regiment of lancers to bear down upon us. We saw their approach at a distance, as they issued from a wood, and took them for Brunswickers coming to cut up the flying [French] infantry ... a German [KGL] orderly dragoon galloped up, exclaiming 'Franchee ! Franchee !' and, wheeling about, galloped off. We instantly formed a rallying square; no time for particularity: every man's musket was loaded, and our enemies approached at full charge; the feet of their horses seemed to tear up the ground. ... our brave Colonel [Sir Robert Macara] fell at this time, pierced through the chin until the point reached his brain. Captain Menzies fell covered with wounds. ... The grenadiers [of 42nd Highland], whom he commanded, pressed round to save or avenge him, but fell beneath the enemies lances." The official report of the Hanoverian brigade described the action that soon followed: "... Verden Battalion was not able to fall back quickly enough and was largely ridden down or taken prisoner."

I will never stop liking the red French army harem pants, no matter how visible they make you in combat
Does anyone have stuff for the 30 years' war sort of period? I'm looking around, I'll dump what little I have. It looks /fa/ as fuck.

nations didn't have proper uniforms back then, so posting that stuff would kinda destroy the point of a uniform thread
