Slowly but surely all your alliances and defensive pacts and non-aggression pacts will be your dooms!

Aye, sorry crazy. All slots are taken at the moment. I could make a waiting list for people who want to play. You'd be second after Soulfly.

Now guys, I need your help! As you can see I'm trying to be as accurate as possible with the names of units within this BoP. So far I've been able to ask a few friends of mine with help with the Danish and Dutch but I'm going to need more help soon. I got French and German already done so no need for help with those. Examples: 2ème Corps d'Armée, 3ème Division de Cavalerie or Gardekorps, Garde Kavallerie Division.

What I need help with is the accurate naming and number systems for nations like Russia, Bulgaria, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Ottomans etc. for Infantry, Cav, Mountain, Guards, Guard Cav, Marines etc. Divisions as well as Corps and Armies.

Hi Scot,

Do you mean something like this (for the Russians):

Abbreviations used
ACorps = Army Corps (Russian: ak = armeysy korpus)
MD = Military district (VO = voenny okrug)
GrenCorps = Grenadier Corps (Gren. k = Grenadersky korpus)
LGrd = Lifeguard (l.-gv. = leyb-gvardi)
SibCorps = Sibirian Corps (Sib. k = Sibirsky korpus)
TurkCorps = Turkestan Corps (Sib. k = Sibirsky korpus)

Example:

3rd Army Corps:

Composition
25th Infantry Division headquartered at Dvinsk
- 1st Brigade
97th Infantry Regiment Livonia (headquarters Dvinsk)
98th Infantry Regiment Yuriev, (headquarters Dvinsk)
- 2nd Brigade, (headquarters Dvinsk)
99th Infantry Regiment of Ivangorod , (headquarters Dvinsk)
100th Infantry Regiment Ostrovsky , (headquarters Dvinsk)

27th Infantry Division (headquarters Vilnius)

Here is the Italian Order of battle - seems they named them by the area they were mustered from, think the P.A.L's of Britian.
