Regiment

Mobhack · #1 February 23rd, 2020, 07:23 PM

A commonwealth regiment could be one batallion or maybe 3 - depending on recruitment in its cachement area. Plus as well as regular bns, there were sometimes Territorial bns of weekend volunteers.

In the 2 world wars, then there were 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc regiments of say the Black Watch created - each regiment being around 3 bns. Shrunk back to the original size post war.

But the individual batallion is what was deployed - not the entire regiment, unlike the Continentals.

The south African "regiments" are Battalions as shown on the graphic display for the unit structure. They are 2 slashes over the combat symbol. Thanks for the help.

I want info on 1966 to 1989 as that is when Border war occurred. Mostly 1975 to 1989 as in the game that is when Angola is present which gives me two of the foes Angola and Cuba.
