Spike Helmets

As a question to the German sprite models, are they going to be getting a spike helmut early on with maybe 3rd generation having it taken off for historical sake? just a question will definitaley not be a game killer but a good piece of candy.
 
I'd like to see those German fellows wearing the famous pickelhaube.

The French ought to have their blue tunics and pantalon rouge

And the Tommies wearing famous khaki ;)

Here here!

In fact, perhaps there could be some technology upgrade which changes the sprite?

Maybe effective steel helmet, after which the BEF lose their field caps, and the Germans their pickelhaube, the French eben furthuir behind have to research battle dress, or something similar to get rid of their uniforms.

Besides, if the Germans don't have spiked helmets I will spit my dummy out and cry!

Jawohl!

I think the British adopted steel helmets after the disasterous battle of Loos. Although I think that the image of khaki clad Soft-hatted Tommy slogging it out at Mons, Le Cateau etc is as enduring as the Germans wearing the pickelhaube or the French wearing bright red trousers.
 
Any thoughts on this as a menu screen? (the actual menu items go in the blank bit in the middle)

Not bad, I like the pics. It looks really good StephenT

I'd change 'mod' to 'modification' - makes us look far wordier :cool:

Or even, 'A Hearts of Iron Variant'
