Flag of the United Arab Armed Forces by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

Flag of the UAR military in Imperium Offtopicum XIV; this was the only one not directly derived from the Egyptian set prepared for ATEN. Whereas the flags for the individual branches drew from existing Egyptian schema, this was based on the Syrian flag. The text reads: "Homeland Honour Devotion / United Arab Army".

Thanks in large part to the game's narrow timescale and roleplay focus, IOT XIV was the first game where I really got a feel for the army itself, going so far as to draft up a full order of battle that broke each unit down into its constituent regiments. By game's end I'd charted 11 field armies and ~32 corps in land forces alone, leading me to brag tongue-in-cheek on private channels that my forces were flexible enough to deploy to every hotspot in the game simultaneously; although this was based on real-life divisions and had anyone actually done proper math most of the regiments would be understrength and/or placeholder cadres.

In keeping track of which corps was deployed where, I came to understand how units develop a service history: the initial Vietnam expedition, after a brief sojourn into Japan, became the battle-hardened vanguard that stood off against the Pan-American Union in British Columbia, and so had witnessed every kind of warfare from jungle to mountain to utter human atrocity. One of the choices I made that, had the game lasted long enough, likely would have paid important dividends down the line, was to deploy expeditions composed of select corps from different armies, rather than the armies wholesale (à la Imperial Japan); thus the globetrotters would diffuse their experience to the home guard and so every army would retain some veterancy, sometimes in multiple theatres.
