Hmmm .... you are giving me ideas for more flying madness :

Can someone help me with German names for my Prussian troop units and vehicles on this thread. Ideas so far:

The infantry and cavalry need regimental names. I want the infantry in face masks to be a Sturmpionier regiment. The flying troops are wearing dragoon uniforms, so they could be Luftdragoner or perhaps Luftrieter.

The vehicles need a generic name that translates something like 'armoured steam car'.

Thanks in advance.

As for the vehicles, I would go for "Gepanzerter Dampfwagen", or, if you like it a bit more complicated in a Prussian bureaucratic way: "dampfgetriebener Straßenpanzerkampfwagen", whereas the term "Straßenpanzerkampfwagen" included all wheeled vehicles (or armoured cars). Historically, this term was used in post-WWI Germany.
As an amusing bynote, some of those armoured cars carried a sign on their turrets: "Straße frei! Es wird geschossen!" / "Clear the road! Shooting is imminent!" :

Hope this helps!

Beautiful vehicles, by the way and an excellent use of those old "England Invaded" miniatures! Keep it up! :mrgreen:
