| The 1st Australian Pioneer Battalion was formed in March 10, 1916 in Sinai, Eygpt made up of troops drawn from a wide range of Battalions, but received reinforcements from New South Wales. That same month four other Pioneer Battalions were formed and later a Training Battalion was formed in England in August, a year later the 6th Pioneer Battalion was formed in England. Each Pioneer Battalion was attached to a certain division, relative to their numbering. A Pioneer Battalion was organized exactly the same as an Infantry Battalion, with 4 Companies of 4 Platoons, but all soldiers serving in the battalion had a variety of trades and skills including engineering. Pioneer Battalions frequently built bridges, roads, repaired trench defenses, built supply lines and designed the intricate web of trenches and tunnels that made it almost impossible for the Jerrys to attack. As both sides adopted safer and more comfortable trenches it created a stalemate, therefore the Pioneer Battalions made perfect Assault and Raid Troops, being able to destroy the enemy's defences. All Pioneer Battalions were disbanded at the end of the war. The 1st Pioneer Battalion fought in the following battles Battle of the Somme Battle of Arras- First Battle of Bullecourt, Battle of Lagnicourt, 2nd Battle of Bullecourt Third Battle of Ypres - Battle of Poelcappelle, First & Second Battle of Passchendaele Battle of Hazebrouck Battle of Amiens Battle of Épehy.  |  |  |
 |  | All members in the Battalion are required to attend a Basic Combat Training session in which you will learn basic rifleman commands, formations and tactics. These Trainings will be run by your section leader with supervision of an officer. Once you have completed BCT, soldiers in specialist sections such at the Lewis Section will all be required to Train in pairs with a LMG. To become a gunner, your accuracy and skill will be tested and depending on your results you will be accepted. The 1st Pioneer Battalion is aiming to get a server for Iron Europe in the near future. As we get this we will start to do more 'Arma' coop type events within the Battalion. These will be roleplay heavy events and will usually not be battles. Often they could be an engineering operation like building a bridge across a river or making a forward trench. An officer will select a couple people to go on the enemy team and simulate enemy artillery or machine-gun fire. These events will not always be limited to engineering and could even be a night time raid against a trench. |
Well I'm quite sure the IE team deserve all the money they can get.Well, considering how much money NW made FSE...
Atmospheric. My only criticism really is the cannon rammer thing looks awkward held in one hand, It should be twoThere are no animations in yet so thats just how they've made you hold it for now. I would like to see them have to ram from the front myself. Currently you must only click on the cannons 4 times to finish ramming..
