Sardinia / Savoy
Here are some previews for Sardinia. This is not an easy faction.
We have references for the army until 1799 with a relative variety of troops.
Then we have the army of the exile to Sardinia. A rather small army with only a few régiments. If I follow the historical references to closely, then the factions would not be very interesting to play.
And then the army of the restoration. A few more units. But a distinctive lack of uniform variety (grenadier, fusilier, chasseur, all have blue trouser and coat, a very similar helmet, no big distinctive signs...
Basically, almost all the units would look the same... So I had to find some compromises.
I made uniforms based mostly on the restoration., with the helmet and blue Caterpillar.
I made a few adaption for gameplay: I designed a new frontplate, based on the 1817 shako, with a different plate for grenadier, fusilier and voltigeur. Normally, they have the VE letters, but I replaced it with the cross of Savoy to have something more generic.
Here is an example of grenadier. I also added a small plume, and epaulette in red for the grenadiers. And regimental colour in red.

Then we have the chasseurs. Specific plate, green plume and epaulette and black belt (not historical, but I need to have them different from the grenadiers somewhow).
I also used black regimental (a few régiments actual had black colours, while none had green).

And finallly the fusilier. Again specific plate, no plume, staps instead of epaulette. And kind of pink regimental colours

All the above are "
ordinanza nazionali" units.
We also have the provincial units (not so good, but they have a garrison bonus and replace militia)
For them, I used similar uniforms, but the crest for the helmet is almost non existant (close to the exile period helmet), the Caterpillar is directly above the helmet.
And I used a taller plume, and the uniform has a less satured blue.

The Sardinian army thus look very similar, as it should be, but I hope the small variations I introduced are sufficient to differentiate the units while remaining within acceptable historical boundaries.
