Gentlemen!
I hope your Easter holidays were memorable and that you are well rested!
Today, I would like to show you another planned edition to the future version of this mod.
General's bodyguard in the most recent playable version of the mod is equal in strength and numbers to any other light dragoon unit featured in RoAR. I decided that this shall be the case no longer!
In addition to reworked visuals, the unit will :
- consist of fewer men;
- tougher in defensive melee action;
- and armed with pistols.
Men entrusted with guarding the Commander's life will also be armed and trained to fire pistols mounted and on the move to increase tactical flexibility of the unit.
This preview should give you a taste of the core mechanic described above. It features British General's Bodyguard unit armed with pistols pouring lead into the 3rd Continental light dragoons troop before engaging in melee.
This is still in the works and requires tweaking to ensure the mechanic works smoothly under different circumstances.
Here is the video preview and screenshots of the mechanic in action:
Let me know what you think in the comments!

Great Job!! As always
Thank you, good sir!
This is awesome!
Love it ! Maybe the wrist move a little bit too early when they shoot ? :I
Nice work anyway ! ;)
yep, the firing animation is not synchronized well. That's why it's still a WIP ;)
Yes of course ! ;) by the way the screenshot just under the vidéo is epic !
Any News on V3? I love this mod so far, it makes battles between Britain, and America a lot more fun.
In the past 6 months I've been lacking free time for modding, a situation I do not expect to change soon, so I prefer to dedicate more time to actual development rather than posh minor previews. Instead, I'll make a more comprehensive progress update in a month or so.
I am working on new Spanish and Hessian models at the moment. At the same time, models and textures for Brits and US are being updated and improved. The process is tedious only at this stage.Once base model is complete, I'll be able to dish out complete unit rosters in no time :) If all goes well, a V2.5 release will be ready this summer. V3 with proper campaign will take a bit more time.

What made you choose to arm the bodyguard with pistols rather than carbines?
