Kuwait seems to get overrun every time Turkey enters the war, simply because it has no units based there.
It was nominally apart of the Ottoman Empire - recognised as 'autonomous' in 1913 by the British, but I'm not sure whether there were any British troops stationed here - I've certainly not found any information to that effect anyway.
I think it's important that Britain starts off with at least something in the Gulf region so that they have the chance of fighting the Mesopotamian campaign later. Perhaps a militia division called 'Kuwaiti garrison' might be appropriate, although I'm not sure accurate that would be...

An understrengthed militia unit is fine with me as long as it doesn't start running rampant in Ottoman Iraq.
I've noticed some mistakes in the Austro-Hungarian Order of Battle, most of them minor. But this is what I've found missing.
Frist off, I don't understand why there is the need for truppen after everything, the Austrians didn't name their divisions "1st Infantry Troop Division"
Infanteriedivisionen would not only save space but IMO be more historical.(unless you have a source that disproves me)
In the Austrian 1. Armeetruppen, they are missing the following units under Army HQ
These units are:
1., 36., 101., 110. Landsturminfanteriebrigaden (I suggest converging them into a single division, or splitting them into two divisions, two brigades each, they should be militia)
Polnische Legion (I suggest making it a division of regulars at 30 to 40 Strength)
In the Austrian 2. Armeetruppen, they are missing the following units under Army HQ
These Units Are:
35., 40., 102., 103., 105. Landsturminfanteriebrigaden (I suggest spliting them up into two full strength militia divisions)
In Austrian 3. Armeetruppen, they are missing the following units under Army HQ
These Units Are:
97. and 107. Landsturminfanteriebrigaden (Combined together into a single militia division)
In the Austrian XIV. Korps there are several changes.
The 5. and 8. Infanteriedivisionen did not have special titles to my knowledge, therefore Kaiserjaeger and Edelweiss are not needed.
The XIV. Korps is also missing the elite 88. Landesschützen Brigade. The Landesschützen were the mountain branch of the Landwehr. There was only 3 Landesschützen Regiments, two in the 88. Landesschützen Brigade and another in 87. Landwehr Infanteriebrigaden under 44. Landwehr Infanteriedivisionen command. They could be a 30 to 40 strength mountain unit, I dunno if you give a mountain unit an elite status though. Maybe it could be a Garde unit.
The Austrian 5. Armeetruppen (which you need to create) is missing the 104. Landsturminfanteriebrigaden and the 11. Gebirgsjaegerbrigaden under its HQ.
In the Austrian 6. Armeetruppen they are missing the 109. Landsturminfanteriebrigaden.
Also, the Austrian 11. and 12. Infanteriedivisionen are missing, they are independent formations in Bohemia, as well as the 43. Landsturminfanteriedivisionen.
You are also missing the "Marschbrigaden" or March Brigades, replacement troops. Prehaps an event should be made where those troops are added to the manpower pool, cause those brigades trained and provided replacements for frontline formations. Prehaps and invent every 4 months could occur where 20 or 50 manpower from the Marsch brigades become avaliable, in exchange you could lower the regular manpower gain rate. Just a thought.
You guys have a good game, but Austria's OOB needs some little work here and there.

The language changes, I accept, but if the smallest formation represented in the game is the division, why should all these brigades be assumed as missing? Surely they're 'missing' because they're too small to be represented.
I just get tired of getting overwhelmed by Russia constantly 40 to 10 division ratio is not good.
Anyway, At least add the Austrian 11., 12. Infanteriedivisionen and the 43. Landwehr Infanteriedivisionen.
Also I got a bunch of pics of Austrian and Russian field commanders, I got some of them edited down to size and such with photoshop, i can send them over when I'm done, or I can just give the fullsize pics to you and you can downsize them. I try and get them to the standard 36-50, but I have some 36-49s and 36-51s.
I also named them on the format the game pics are.
I only have one russian general, Nikolai Ruzsky, but I got 4 or 5 Austrians so far with more coming. Most of the commanders are Lt. Generals.

Thanks! I think that will fit nicely into a single, neat and tidy Ubåtsflottiljen
Like this one, which is already in the game?
Code:
navalunit = {
id = { type = 12111 id = 519 }
name = "Ubåtsflottiljen"
# leader = ?
location = 2160 # Stockholm
division = {
id = { type = 12111 id = 520 }
name = "1:a Ubåtsflottiljen"
type = submarine
model = 1
}
}NO! It is not fair, you cannot deny sweden a nice, big submarine fleet!Allenby said:Thanks! I think that will fit nicely into a single, neat and tidy Ubåtsflottiljen
you [insert insulting word here]!
OK, I have figured out a compromise:
1) split Ubåtsflottiljen into three flotillas (the subs should have been able to split up and search a large area)
2) Name the three flotillas to:
2a)Hajen I, Hvalen and Svärdfisken
2b) UB no 2, UB no 3 and UB no 4
2c) Tumlaren, Laxen and Gäddan
This is my compromise, it should satisfy all history fanatics (including me) to a certain degree, also add a sub in the build pool, Delfinen and set it to be deployed sometime in 1915.

Well let me see now....your 'compromise' of expanding the number of Swedish U-boat flotillas from one to three, would give Sweden a submarine fleet comparable in size with Germany.
Realistic?
Realistic?
Allenby, how come Germany has Landwehr brigades but Austrian doesn't get its Landsturm Brigades?
Double standards there?

Not really. From your thread it seemed as if you wanted these included as seperate 'divisions', which would have been unrealistic.
Germany's Landwehr brigades are lumped together - I can try something similar for Austria-Hungary, if it has to be done, merging three or four brigades together into single units. They shouldn't be militia divisions anyway...having them as reservists would be more suitable.
Man Allenby those Swedish lobbyists are almost as fanatic as the Finnish lobby that we had to contend with way back when...remember them?
Do I need say any more?
Btw, I got 18 new General pics done, 1 is French, 4 British, 9 Turks, 2 Russian and 1 Austrian. I'll send you an email with it attached soon.
I hope you like them, they took alot of searching to find. You guys pretty much ate up everything on the net.
Thanks ForgottenImmort we appreciate the help and hard work to find the obscure pictures.

Almost as fondly as those arguments over the Polish (or was it Russian?) language with regards to pronounciation, dialects and letters that probably don't exist.
...and the endless number of people wanting Metz province to go to France.
Did you get my email Allenby?
If so, how do you like the pictures?
I was wondering why Metz was French.
