We have no official uniform for the royal guard as some realms uses their own uniform but the most common is the standard uniform (the one bellow) that are used in the realms of Imeriata, Erathia, Nova Imeriata, Sthalinge and tvaude.

While able to both outdress and utterly destroy any foe on the modern battlefield are those heroic men what truly makes the absolute royal federation safe from hostile aggression and able to bring the glory of monarchy to those that do not have it.

Above are the uniforms used by standard guardsmen they are organised in order by realm of origin: Standard, Vedian, Nortern Venezue and Imerian Africa below can we see the officer’s standard uniforms. They are organised in standard senior and junior officer uniforms and the Vedian senior and junior officer uniforms.

Special forces do also get their own uniform to distinguish themselves from the common soldiers and above can we see the uniforms of: Non-human regulars, dragoons, heavy infantry, grenadiers and finally artillery/ armoured crewmen, Lancers, hussars, cuirassiers and the uniform of the high guard

We enjoy seeing foreigners dressed up like Christmas tree ornaments but we prefer something simpler (and cheaper). Our troops wear simple bush gear - i.e. cargo pants in jungle camouflage pattern and matching shirts, or just green T-shirts. The only stylish element is the beret, red for paratroopers, maroon for air assault, green for regular infantry and black for armour. Commandos are all parachute-trained, so they tend to wear red, though they sometimes prefer to keep the beret of their original regiment. We have no parade uniforms or dress uniforms.

We don't consider camouflage to be a major defensive factor. We rely instead on superior knowledge of the terrain and the enemy's position - i.e. good scouting.

Helmets come with a removable camouflage cover but they are seldom worn except in dangerous situations. For example, air assault troops wear them on hot landings along with body armour which has the same camouflage pattern. Otherwise, their main function is as water buckets and camp stools. In fact, there were numerous complaints about the old pattern helmet which wobbled badly when sitting on the ground.

Boots have nylon-and-kevlar uppers which are suitably green. Gloves are considered too hot and restrictive of movement, so they are used only by air assault troops for abseilling and fast-roping.

This is the ceremonial uniform:


This is the combat uniform:


However, for the combat uniforms vary based on the temperature and climate. For winter, the uniform's timer unleashes a temporary paint for the winter months. For spring, summer, and fall, the uniform is a leafy green color. In the rare desert climate, the uniform is a solid brown color.

Yeah, that is a horrible idea, camouflage is very important in modern warfare regardless of how well you know the terrain or how well prepared you are. Since your army is mostly light infantry, odds are that unless you are stupid you rely on superior mobility in rough terrain to outmaneuver your enemy, attack them, and flee into terrain too rough for mechanized forces to pursue when resistance mounts. This kind of warfare relies heavily on your ability to avoid detection, since so much as a single patch of one color can get someone's notice, alerting them to your position, and allowing your heavier enemy forces to use their heavy firepower to inflict crippling losses. Really, with your style of warfare you should focus heavily on camouflage and snipers, to the point where every soldier has some kind of light gillie suit to allow them much greater ability to hide themselves in preparation for something such as an enemy unit to reach them, a unit to pass by, or friendly forces to arrive.


I am working on my Imperial Guard, I will have three Imperial Guard Armies (one for each royal family). Anyway, what are your thoughts on this Imperial Guard Army so far, below is an infantry officer and a infantry enlisted man (line regiment), I will later make a rifle regiment uniform, hussar/lancer uniform, cuirassier uniform, and a grenadier uniform (as well as possibly an assault regiment uniform (imagine dismounted cuirassiers with carbines and pistols)). Also, should I change the color? I also considered dark red, dark blue, and white.

You overestimate the extent of visibility in the bush. Along the Auftragesreich-Neurepublik border, I've been in situations where I was almost stepped on by hostiles who never saw me. Patches of colour are not unusual and anybody who thinks every movement is an enemy soldier will soon go crazy.

Something along the lines of, this. This is the main power armor for all army personnel. The armor weighs about 45 pounds and requires special training in order to wear it.

I am going to ignore your baseless IC claim, and assume that if it is true it is because you were fighting a bunch of blind or colour blind people. It isn't hard at all to notice something out of place, and if you notice something even slightly out of place, there is a good chance you will concentrate on it long enough to notice that something is, or might be a person, and taking the safest route possible, they will probably shoot first and ask questions later. There is a reason everyone stopped using single colour combat uniforms after WW2.
