About 1st Lithuanian Brigade "Iron Wolves"

A combined-arms squad of veteran players. If you enjoy FUN and TEAMWORK, this is the squad for you. New players are always welcome! We are happy to show each new member the skills to make their game play effective and rewarding.

Squad History

The first Founder of this Squad chose the name "1st Lithuanian Brigade" in honor of his mentor Lugan, whose grandfather was Lithuanian. Our nickname, "Iron Wolves" comes from the actual name of the Lithuanian Motorized Infantry Brigade IRON WOLF. The Founders of this Squad were very careful and selective when choosing our name. The primary concern was inadvertently selecting the name of a historical unit which may have committed war-time atrocities. While it could be argued that no one involved in the second World War, on either side, was always above board, through intensive research we feel we have a historical background which is untainted. In the final analisys, we wear our name with pride and honor.

Other Information

Since our inception, many names have been used in the different forums and using the in-game radio. We have called ourselves, LB, 1LB, 1stLB, Pounders, 1 Pounders, 1st Pounders, Iron Wolves, IW and a few others. These are my thoughts on this. We need to, no we must, establish ourselves with a consistent presence. While we all know any of the above mentioned names refer to us, others hearing us may not. Some may get the idea that we're six squads, not one. It is therefore necessary to establish one name. And it has been decided that this name will be: Iron Wolves. Now, this does not mean we are no longer the 1st Lithuanian Brigade or that we are shying away from that name. Not at all. We are as proud of who we are as we ever were. But as our ranks continue to swell, sooner or later we will become the 1st Lithuanian Division. At that time "1LB" would no longer make any sense. However we will always be the Iron Wolves. It is where people will go on the web to find us. It is on all of our medals and awards. It is on our signatures. The more people hear and read Iron Wolves, the more they will come to know the fighting force we are. So, when posting on the forums or using the chat radio, please use Iron Wolves or simply IW. Use it a lot. Use it to call fellow squad members. Use it to congratulate other squads. Use it to congratulate the enemy. Use it to taunt the enemy, ok, but then at least do it respectfully. Also, please, if you haven't done so already, alter your TeamSpeak log in name so that we all show the same. That way those who also use TeamSpeak will begin to connect 1st Lithuanian Brigade with the Iron Wolves. We will gain the respect of both our peers and our adversaries. We just want to be sure they know who we are. Now, something else, but still on the topic of our name: When you think of yourself as a member of this squad, do you consider yourself an Iron Wolf or one of the Iron Wolves?
