UDF Regimental Cachets
I want to try something new here, something that is not technically possible within the Asgaros Forum that we use at present. When it is possible, I will implement a 'jumpable' alphabetised list which I will add to over time as I find new and relevant military material. While the posts will be random. the list below will not. You will (one day, not now) be able to jump to the alphabetised Regiment of interest from here.
My idea is for you to to click on a Regiment in the list below and jump to it, saving you having to scroll through the entire Topic to find what you want, as you must do at present. I believe this will be useful. I will attempt to reorganise some of the other non-alphabetised Topics in the same way. Hotels are a likely candidate. In the event of you adding anything to this Topic, I will add your Post to this list in alphabetic order of UDF Regiments. This 'jump' is dependent on the Asgaros Forum programmer providing this technical solution which he says he is considering. Asgaros is a free Forum app which I think is excellent, albeit with a few small issues.
In the meantime below is a non-jump list. My first entry was the Witwatersrand Rifles. This will eventually be one of the last to appear on the list.
