    I've noticed that your men shout out random things if you listen closely during the battle. however I can only understand what the british, most of the time its "agh where his head?" "Sarge..... are we all going to die?" when howitzer shells explode near a units. "whats goin on sarge"? "He wont stop bleeding sarge, what are we going to do? and the usal pissed of officer telling his men to shut the hell up. its quite hard for me to hear the other stuff so post here if you hear anything interesting or funny.
    I check into small hotel a few kilometers from Kiev. It is late. I am tired. I tell woman at desk I want a room. She tells me room number and give key. "But one more thing comrade; there is one room without number and always lock. Don't even peek in there." I take key and go to room to sleep. Night comes and I hear trickling of water. It comes from the room across. I cannot sleep so I open door. It is coming from room with no number. I pound on door. No response. I look in keyhole. I see nothing except red. Water still trickling. I go down to front desk to complain. "By the way who is in that room?" She look at me and begin to tell story. There was woman in there. Murdered by her husband. Skin all white, except her eyes, which were red. I tell her I don't give a . Stop the water trickling or give me refund. She gave me 100 ruble credit and free breakfast. Such is life in Moscow

    Well, the French say things more like:

    "Victory on the field of battle!" (victoire dans le champ de bataille...or something like it).

    Prussians say things more like: "For Glory and Fatherland".

    Turks, which I understand, emphasize the importance of orders "You call my general!" "For you I die my commander" and etc...

    They mostly say the same things across the different armies, just in different languages.
    For instance, the "agh where is his head" got a German "oh mein Gott, wo ist sein Kopf?".

    Haven't heard the English equivalent for "Stop dying! Did you ask for permission?" I heard from Prussians and Austrians.

    Thank you sir. We hope to continue to amaze people eh?
    At the moment many units are being retextured. I haven't seen them yet, but me, OldDragoon and some other Duffers are providing our texturers with inspiration.

    But back on topic. I haven't listened that well to all the soldier speech.
    It also seems that i can't remember the ones that I've heard apart from: "Ik ben bang sergeant" which is Dutch for "I'm afraid sergeant"
