PapaGrande Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm curious about how true-to-history WB military uniforms need to be with regard to rank? I believe the year depicted in the WB is 1913? In 1913 the US did not have a 5 star general (Pershing was a long ways away from that distinction) and it has not "really" ever had a field marshall or six star general status -- although George Washington was effectively the Field Marshall of the US. Anywho, would it be in poor taste to craft a WB costume that would depict the US Field Marshall/Six Star General of the time? All in jest of course. Just how does one choose their rank when crafting a WB military uniform? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackey Cole Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I used a similar rank to what I retired as in the USAF. Ssgt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branchwater Jack - 88854 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Its a fantasy game! I wear a military uniform with rank on it even though I always regret the fact that I did not actually serve. Have at it and have some fun with it!

I had to give the guy about $19.00 plus shipping and handling. It looked purdy so I got it! I decided on the bars I got because the were vintage sterling. Looked cool! For the right price, you can be a 6-star general or even president! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Woodrow_Wilson-H%26E.jpg/640px-Woodrow_Wilson-H%26E.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaGrande Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Maybe I will make-up a uniform for a SEVEN star Mexican Generalissimo AKA "Maximum Leader." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
