I am requesting a commission on the condition that I retain my rank of private due to repeated paperwork errors after each promotion.

As for names of places and things, here goes: Tannhauser Gate (maybe a critical mountain pass or canal or something) Mourningwood, Speedo Atoll, Mt. SkullDoom, Mare Imbria (preferably a desert), Hill 420, Tropico, the Emerald Sea (a large jungle) and my favorite from real life, the Grand Teton mountains (literally big titties).

Also, this is the only anthem glorious enough to inspire our people to greatness!

I dunno, I think we may want to name at least one of our crack infantry divisions Tokyo Bay Fortress to be absolutely sure.

Further name suggestions: the Twin Peaks of Mt Kilamanjaro, the Rock of Jibbajabraltar, and the famous landmark Penis Peninsula.

I was thinking more like whacky names for things like the Battleship "She's One of Ours!" or the Gravitas Squadron, the most polite and chivalrous pilots in the sky.

We should name our kamikazes White Knights. Ready to fall on their own swords at a moment's notice!

E: did the Sultanate engage in some imperialism, or is its current territory the result of previous lost wars?

As for the target of our belligerence should any of our fellow Great Powers choose to not declare on us, I believe the land in the hands of the Sultanate to our north are destined to be in goon hands.

Well, all of the pilots are officers. They don't let enlisted men fly expensive planes, you know.

Speaking of IRL tech if, we have 1936ish technology then why do we have access to bazookas? Heat rounds weren't even developed until 1939. I mean at this point we're basically fighting a small step above armored tractors. Using a rocket launcher on the equivalent of a panzer I or a t-26 just seems like overkill.

Just pretend they're anti-materiel rifles until later. This is a game of the imagination.

We must never, ever forget that the Caliphate attacked us first - and we must never let anyone else forget it, either! Our propaganda machine will trumpet the word until everyone is sick and tired of hearing about it!

Nevermind the fact that they attacked because we were massing on their borders, of course. Nobody needs to hear that.

That was only in response to intelligence reports that the Caliphate was going to attack. We swear!

Just because our foes will not accept peace offers doesn't mean we shouldn't make them. Just think how bad we would look post-war of we didn't. Start winning hearts and minds now. After this is all said and done, we can point to our opposition's insane leaders to shoulder much of the blame for such massive loss of life that a war to the bitter end will cause. We're going to be the victors, so why not start writing our version of history now?

"It's time to dig in boys! The Fiefdom has long been jealous of our superior animated films and exotic culture. They seem to want a bloody nose down south, so let's give it to 'em."

Prepare for the inevitable assault from our neighbors and focus on containing the Sultinate and growing our fuel reserves.
We're going to have to rely on men with hearts of repeatedly folded steel to hold the line until our oil gets sorted. Not being able to smash hard and fast when we need to is going to hurt our national pride.

How did we take such heavy casualties when they attacked us with 16 armored cars, 2 light tanks and 2 rifles? Or were there more attacking units that weren't shown in that screen shot?

I attribute our losses to poor morale. Perhaps we should research harsher disciplinary measures to maintain esprit de corps.

Do they not make any good (or "good") WW1 Grognard games?

Does a good WWI game made by a grognard count?

Commander: The Great War looks alright. I bought it on Steam but I haven't gotten to it yet between Tales of Maj'Eyal, Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup, Civ V, Borderlands 2, Diablo 3 and playing/GMing the new edition of Dungeons & Dragons. I need to find a grog-buddy to keep me on the cardboard chit path.
