After doing some research, I unfortunatly discovered that the ones used during the revolutionary wars were similar to the napoleonic ones and that there were few insignias used during the ancietn regime that we could recognised as such.

So mixed the few ones I found with the current french system *here* and assumed that *there* it went to more modification (which just happen to match some of their real life counterparts). So of the rank's names have been expended but are basicaly the actual ones.

- NF use some slightly gaudy slides as befit their royalist leaning

- Lousiana decide to get rid of the oh so royalist epaulettes and instead wear collar embroidery. with time, they wer simplified to become the pin-on insignias you see here

I'd like to see a full form of what you picture for Louisianne....I think I see what you're getting at, but I want to see if it matches what you're thinking...BoArthur 20:20, 23 Aug 2005 (PDT)

Incidently, the last 3 could have an army/navy/airforce logo engraved on the large lower part.--Marc Pasquin 18:31, 24 Aug 2005 (PDT)

- Hayti use the emperial insignias which tried to go back to be pre-republican times without being identical (in the same way as the emperial heraldry was inspired but different from its royalist counterpart)

- Finaly, modern France would have gotten back to its republican roots but without denying all its past.

Note that only the 2 and 3 stars (or fleur-de-lys) generals are actual ranks, the other ones are functions or dignities. the ones missing are usualy only seen in time of war: 1 = adjudant-general (colonel serving on the general staff), 6 = military commander, 7 = national marshal.--Marc Pasquin 18:36, 23 Aug 2005 (PDT)

For the record, I really, really like these. BoArthur 20:22, 23 Aug 2005 (PDT)
