Regiments / Re: 91st Regiment of Foot (Argyllshire Highlanders) [NA]
« on: March 26, 2017, 08:31:20 am »Thank you Munj.If you're mad about the "lack of originality," this is the process I went through to pick the name. In the past, I've made the 1er Escadron de Mamelukes, and the 1st Royal Dublin Fusiliers (all ranks were in Gaelic). The originality of those names and ranks didn't work very well as many people didn't understand them or their significance. Then I looked at my family history. My family is from Ayrshire and owned Culzean Castle. I checked for regiments that were formed in Ayrshire and all I could find was the 1st Ayrshire Yeomanry. However, I wanted to make an infantry regiment. I broadened my search to counties close to Ayr and the 91st Argyllshire popped up. I remembered being in the NA 91st for a little while and saw Waterloo on their resume, so I checked if any of the 91st regiments were still around. None were, so I decided to take the name and run with it as most regiments from Waterloo have already been taken.91st in EU NW is dead. Get over it.
If this is really not Kuni and Ethan, I wish you the best of luck.
Originality is the gripe here I believe.
I don't really care what you call your regiment, in my opinion any new regiment in this community is a good thing. I'm just stating why other people may have a negative reaction to the name.
