French Army - 1914 [PGW]

Vive la France!

This newest and penultimate installment in Project Great War's 1914 series of major skin packs for the Western Front covers the French Army from the outset of hostilities to the winter of 1914-1915, featuring both those perhaps ill-chosen red trousers the French were so fond of and some more practical and (relatively) muted uniforms to better suit the trench warfare of late 1914. As always please leave any suggestions or issues you have with this pack in the comments.

PRETTY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PROJECT'S SKINS, OR AT LEAST SKINS MADE BY ME: I'm sure many of you are wondering when I'll do skins from later on in the war, and from different theaters, and all that. I can assure you, I do plan on doing them, but in a specific order. First, I'm doing the Western Front in 1914. After that it's the Western Front in 1915, then 1916, etc. etc. until I've completed all the skins I want to do for the Western Front. After that I'll move onto another front, say, the Eastern Front, and do the skins there starting from 1914 and work my way up again. This of course only really applies to skins for the project released by me, as I can't really control what other people want to make and when they want to release it, but I just thought I should put this down here since a lot of people have been asking.
