It's more realistic than my soldiers are tbh. I like it.

Absolutely not. This is the most unrealistic thing I have ever seen, 5ft 12 is totally impossible!

Possibly stupid question.
How are modern armies transported to battlefields across the sea? For example, almost 200,000 American and British troops invaded Iraq, would this have been done through troop transports or by plane?

How are smaller units like Brigades and Battalions typically numbered?
For example, if i have an army of 1,000,000 and I decide my battalions are on average 5000 soldiers strong. Am i looking like an idiot trying to have a "170th Brigade" or a "405st Battalion"
What i've been doing, trying to not sound ridiculous, is anything smaller than a brigade the numbers start over. For example, A soldier from Countesia might be designated as being from "67th Brigade, 2nd Battalion, 1st Company, 1st Platoon" Is this a good way to go about it, or am i overcomplicating things?

Very generally platoons, companies, and battalions are numbered with regards to their higher unit. So yes: "67th Brigade, 2nd Battalion, 1st Company, 1st Platoon," is perfectly acceptable. Sometimes the brigade/regiment to battalion relationship will be shortened to something like "2/67," i.e. the 2nd Battalion of the 67th Brigade.
Though you might use/see letters for companies: "67th Brigade, 2nd Battalion, Alpha Company, 1st Platoon."
That said for specialty battalions that don't belong to brigades you might start seeing some weird numberings. Like the 440th Signals Battalion. That said it wouldn't be to insane to have all of your battalions of a certain type follow one numbering scheme, which is why you get things like the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion.
Kassaran wrote:Generally they're numbered according to whatever organization system works best.
I will say that your battalions are pretty massive, given that companies are generally 100-200 people apiece.
For me, I have units labelled on a Corps, Division - Brigade level with Battalions and Companies being paired together before it to denote their specific role.
The 1st Corps has the 11th Infantry Division which has the 1-11th or First of the Eleventh Mountain Combat Brigade, which contains the 1st Mountain Infantry Battalion and it's five companies.
This fictional unit, taking the whole designation in stride, appears as A/1 1-11th, or Alpha Company, First Battalion, First of the Eleventh Infantry Brigade.
