Prussian Regiments Ideas
I'm not sure, if the Devs have already choosen their Regiments or still looking, so i made this post to give my Ideas for Prussian Regiments, i would like to see in the game.

Prussian Landwehr Regiment
The Landwehr were militia formed from teenagers through to men in their forties. They were plucked from their fields, shops and offices and enrolled into the Prussian military machine to enlarge the forces that could finally depose Napoleon, the Tyrant of Europe. Prussia was a small State but her armies were well-trained and burning to avenge their past defeats.
The Landwehr fought bravely in the later wars of the period, fighting hard in the 1813 campaigns and ultimately at the climax of the Hundred Days campaign that was Ligny and Waterloo.
Ill-equipped and half-trained they may have been, but after a few months hard fighting they went on to fight with determination alongside their brothers in the Prussian Line regiments.

Simple men fighting for their country and get a chance to kill some french was always a good propaganda for germans, strangely.

It would be easy to simply put Jaeger Regiment here, but truth is, there was more to it, even Saxons were serving in the Prussian army after all.

They were the most professional elite of the infantry. Some were huntsmen and foresters and experienced marksmen and experts at concealement in wooded area. Unfortunately there were only very few formations of jägers.
In 1815 additional battalion of jaegers was raised from the Saxon Jaeger Battalion, Saxon 'Volunteer Banners' and jaeger company of Russo-German Legion. The Saxons however had little enthusiasm for the war in 1815 and serving in the Prussian army.

That was it actually, hopefully it will help somehow.
