@oriskany The intricacies of British unit names are rather fun, aren’t they? I love them, and I can rattle off quite a lot, though not as much as I used to, these days. They do all, technically, have ‘numbers’, persay, though that’s mainly where they stand in the line when paraded. Royal Regiment of Scotland on the right and The Rifles or the Gurkhas all the way on the left, if I recall. Though I suppose that is just for the infantry. I’m a bit of a fan of the more ‘personal’ elements of the British Army. I always try, when playing Historical of any period, to find a unit precedent or antecedent to the Middlesex Regiment or the Royal Marines, but that’s because of family connections.
