I found it!
In Google Translate there is a translation box that shows the Russian word in Cryllic, but (and I just noticed it by chance) is a 'westernized' version of the word, and below that a list of possible definitions. Who knew?

| Post subject: | How would this look in Russian? |
I'm putting together an OOB file for some wargame scenarios, and I like to the native language of whatever army I'm structuring whenever possible. So, for my Russians I'm needing some terms, using the Western alphabet. For example; I'm using 3-ya diviziya for the 3rd Division, shtab ofitsery for Staff Officers, etc. In light of the above how would I term the following? 1st Western Army Right Wing Left Wing Center Cavalry or Cavalry Reserve Artillery Reserve Advanced Guard Rear Guard General Headquarters Headquarters Escort Also if a detachment were made to cover a flank would the force be named after the commanding officer? Such as a task force of jagers detached to watch a woods under the command of Polkovnik Stepanov. Would that be Stepanov's Detachment? and how would it look in westernized Russian? Making some what-if, table-top scenarios for HPS' Austerlitz game and HPS' Jena game. I have a few scenarios up already (AW_001, AW_002, etc, etc), for free. You can find them at: http://forums.gamesquad.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=92 Many thanks for your help. ... and any links to oobs with officers, too. |

Hi Al, Google translate could be tricky at times. Send me through what you got - I will check for errors. |

Google is a good tool to use when you know the 2 languages... It doesn't always differentiate meanings within particular context. It's always good to have someone checking after...
