Regimental Thread (Iron Europe - WW1 Mod)

[Diplex]

Will be updating this list soon again.

Can I request that all Australian regiments be classified under Australia? not the British Empire because we were our own country before World War 1, would you be able to change this??

You were only made independent in 1901 in the same way Scotland is independent at the moment. It wasn't until 1931 that you were allowed actual control over military and foreign affairs.

Learn your own history before making silly requests.

Yes that may be, but they didn't call us British on the battlefield, they called us Australians. They didn't say, oh look, its the charge of the British Light Horse Brigade... If our Independence was in 1901, that still means that we are our own country, even Belgium has a spot on the list for its 'one' regiment.. I think Australia can have its own one too regardless if we were ordered by the British. We also lost thousands of men on the western front and at Gallipoli including my great great grandfather, so I think our country has done enough to have its own spot and class..

I agree with the Aussi here. And Jezza, is it me or are you very snobby when it comes to other Nations and Britain... Me no likey that

Australian ANZAC divisions were part of the British Army, so should stay that way in the list.

Only reason Australia was in WWI is because we wanted to prove ourselves to the Commonwealth.

Australian New Zealand Army Corp...I don't see any British name there, we did a tonne as well, so we deserve it.

And now it comes to derogatory nicknames for the British. A standard for somebody who can't think of a decent argument.
I hope you're not too blinded by Patriotism to see that the ANZAC was in fact, a part of the British Army.
And us 'Poms' did a hell of a lot more than the ANZAC, in both World Wars.

[Landrik]

There was also the I ANZAC, but they served on the Western Front, which this mod is set in. So I think that's what the Aussies are looking for.

But they shouldn't have their own faction. I'm all for them having their own class within the Commonwealth troop list.

You sure as hell didn't help us in WWII, and Poms is a military name for the British, Yanks = Americans, Frogs = French, it's not an insult.

And i don't care about having our own Faction, but at least a class for it.

Only time I've ever heard an Australian using that was in an attempt to insult the British.
