The European faction is called "European Alliance" and their logo is a lion's head. So you're also telling us that real-life countries conscripting their citizens are borrowing ideas from RA2? very reminiscent of the ECA from RotR, and RotR predates MoW too.
If you call SOVIET basic infantrymen after the basic SOVIET infantry of RA2, then you are borrowing from RA2. Many countries have conscription, blaming them for ripping from RA2 makes as much sense as saying the word itself originated in RA2. But there are many things you can call your infantry - method of raising these soldiers is just one option. You could also call them "Riflemen" or "Light infantry". And in fact, the basic infantry of the other factions in MoW are NOT called conscripts, but go by a variety of names (Raider, Volunteer, Guerilla. I think there is even a GI for the United Republic). Yet for the Soviet basic infantry, the name "Conscript" was chosen. While "GI" for an Allied unit is something that I could put down to inspiration from RL, simply because the term is common in RL, there is no RL reference to why a Soviet basic infantryman should be called conscript any more than any other nation's infantryman could be called conscript.
If you still chose to call the Soviet infantryman a Conscript, but use other names for the infantry of other factions, I interpret it as RA2 influence. One thing is not knowing it, another is not even noticing that I even linked the reference behind it, you dumdum.īut yea, go interpret common sense as RA2 influence. Regarding the lion: it's overused in heraldy. I did follow that link, I just fail to see how it applies to my post.
