G'day,
If I'm not mistaken -- and keep in mind that I probably am -- the Portugese
wore Brown coats and white trousers. Yellow... what's starting to cross my
mind are Sicilian or Piedmontese... one of those Italian or Papal states
that had their small armies clad in bright colors.
I wonder if a Turk, Egyptian, or Sepoy unit is possible... battle of the
Pyramids anyone?
This calls for more research! To books!
