A litte over a week ago I posted about a new crouching animation that the ‘1866: Western Mod’ had implemented, and now Dain from ‘The Peninsular War’ – who gave it to the guys at 1866 – has posted another screenshot of the animation. This screen shows a Rifleman of the 95th Rifles crouching and taking aim with his Baker rifle:

The Battles of Jena and Auerstedt

This is a relatively old video, made two years ago, but one that deserves to be watched, and then watched again. It is a 41-minute documentary on the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt (also called the twin Battles of Jena and Auerstedt), fought on October 14, 1806, between the French, led by Napoleon, and the Prussians under Frederick William III, King of Prussia. It was made by Lord Chretzel, a Total War modder, using the multiplayer-only ‘Napoleonic: Total War II’ mod for ‘Rome: Total War’. Go here to find out more about NTWII, and view the video below (German version here):
