I'm confused with the 1st Infantry Div being classified as Veterans in the game, they were formed in 1917?????? Makes no sense to me, can other elaborate? Formed in 1917 and considered a Vet Division? How so Battlefront HQ? Justification??????? |

….. One possible rationale is that, when first organized, the 1st Infantry Division incorporated a relatively large proportion of regular army elements, a number of which had seen field service in the Villa Expedition. But I think that the REAL reason is to provide "play balance" within the FOW tournament environment. B |

Yes but personally being in the Villa expedition fighting partisan irregular in the desert should not qualify as the expedition lasted a month. Casualties were very very low. I would still count them as trained being in the regular army. |

The 1st started serving time in the trenches almost immediately after its arrival in 1917. They were bloodied more than once and truly America's most seasoned formation by the time the flood of US troops came over in the Spring of 1918. Pershing would have never picked them for Cantigny if he ever thought they could fail.
