Late state probably around '64 since they where detached as cavalry later in the war

Be added to the game?

The South Carolina Zouave Volunteers formed in 1861 at Columbia, South Carolina. In July of 1862 the company went into active duty and joined Hamptons Legion in Virginia and was designated as Company H of the Infantry Battalion.

Maybe like Hamptons legion infantry
Hamptons legion zouaves as a uniform choice.

Looks nice,

you have any more references and high quality pictures of the uniform? Can't find any sources so it will be hard to reproduce it.

[SouthCarolina]

Will do my best to find more about this. Would be amazing to start this unit which would be amazing if the uniform would be included

@Hinkel please check http://www.storiamilitare.altervista.org/zuavisc.html

It looks so unique, I am sure we will add this. I will get in touch with the modeller, since the uniform has some extra stuff, which would require a complete new set of uniform parts (so I can't recycle old stuff :p)
Would love to bring them into the game :)

*Edit: It ain't in the Company tool
Huzzah, Now I need to work hard claim it in the tool :-P

And Yes I am sure they where at Antietam since they are mentioned in the book: Texans at Antietam: A Terrible Clash of Arms, September 16-17, 1862 and other sources as well

Looks cool but is there any reference of them actually having that at any battles during the Maryland Campaign?

There are some photos showing them in zouave uniforms in 1861, 1862 and 1863.
Since we also have the LA Zouaves ingame, although their uniform was not part of the maryland campaign, its still a very nice looking uniform to have.

Yes they where at Antietam and yes thus they had the uniform because they still had the uniform in 1863
