(Assault) Engineers - (Штурмовые) инженеры - (Sturmovie) Ingenery

- Conscripts - Призывники - Pryzyvniky (mean "Draftees" and it is sounded stupid on Russian, as I think)

- Regulars - Стрелки - Strelky mean Riflemen (original "Regulyarnie" is sounded VERY stupid on Russian)

- Guards - Гвардейцы or Гвардия - Gvardeytsy (Guardsmen) or Gvardiya (Guardia)

Thank you artemis. We are currently thinking about whether we should use russian names for our units. The problem is, while some names sound cool, others dont. Its also a question of recognition and association.

Well relic uses a 'true' name only if it sounds 'cool'. Therefore,similarly, it may be prudent to use 'true names' when they can be easily pronounced and 'stick in the mind'

And true Russian names is written Cyrillic, not Latin. Latin alphabet isn’t good for Slavic languages. It doesn’t have ы, ь
