Well done! I love the new background; it makes it look very retro.

Amazing combination

Yeah it does have a lot of influences from various nations. I think it combines to create a distinctly Saxon uniform. Thanks!

These are amazing! I love the lower part of the trousers - amazing work there!

Thanks! Yes those are called puttees, and they are wrapped tightly around the lower leg to keep the mud and damp of the battlefield off the skin.

I knew that those are puttees, hahah. I meant the way you handled the shadows and folding of the trousers directly above the puttees.

Oh I misunderstood, haha! Well all credit for the folding and creasing above the puttees goes to ElMengu; I got them from one of his templates. But it does fit the look and function of the uniforms very well.

Thank you!
I agree. Adrian helmets look amazing. The crest on top really does the trick.

absolutely, it has an elegant victorian look to it.
Great choice of design, along with the insignia and the brown leather!

It really does. I appreciate it. I was just playing it by ear when it came to details rather than planning it out thoroughly. I find that that is best sometimes. It certainly worked out this time.

it did, came out great. First tries at certain concepts sometimes have the best results than retrying and planning to get to something perfect. And playing around is more fun anyways

Agreed. It’s just up to chance which concepts click right away and which need more work and planning.
For this in particular, I knew I wanted something very distinctly Saxon. So I decided to just jump right in and play around because, for me, the more I plan, the less distinct the end product is.

yep, stressing too much over perfection doesn't mean guaranteed success or progress
yeah same with me hah
nevertheless, keep up the good work mate!

Saxonland remembers its soldiers.
When would WWII be tackled?

Indeed she does.
WWI would probably have ended a bit earlier for several reasons: the combined Saxon-English fleet defeated the Germans at Jutland tactically as well as strategically. This largely eliminated the German naval threat. So in 1918, when the Kaiserschlacht began to run out of steam and American troops began joining the front line in force, Saxon troops carried out an amphibious landing on German Friesland, forcing German divisions to be diverted from the Western Front. This hastened the end of the war by months.
So WWII may have started a bit earlier, but it would not have been so different.

Would Saxon marines - if you do a kitbash and insignia for them - be:
1 - a combat arm in the army?
2 - a part of the navy?
3 - an independent force in its own right?

They are an independent corps under the auspices the navy.
