Blood and Iron is a modification for Napoleonic wars set mainly between 1870 and 1880. The aim is to give the players a good representation of the era, balanced and fun game-play, immersive maps, and a generally good time. The third update is currently under development, and it will bring you lots of new possibilities and two new factions.

Report RSS New faction announced

We are pleased to announce Imperial Japan as one of the two new factions. Imperial Japan will bring a nice combination of tradition and modernization to the mod. The faction is set just after the end of the Boshin War, during the various Samurai rebellions that rose and fell in different provinces.

Posted by on

The Japanese will not only be able to use their traditional (and outdated) troops and line infantry from different Imperial loyalist provinces, but will also be able to call in help from the West. Check out the images tab for a preview of some of the new units, or head over to our main development thread on the FSE forums for a more in-depth look at the new items.

Looks pretty awesome...but what's with those ridiculously tall, round pyramidal helmets?

Those are some "tall conical jingasas used by Satsuma troops", they're pretty cool :P

Here's a representation of them in a film I can't remember the name of: Cmhy.files.wordpress.com
