It makes me think of the Iron Curtain and Eastern Europe really...
Poppies grow sounds funny.
Isn't that from "In Flanders' Fields" by McCrae?

Ah yes, for got the 14-18
Iron Europe 14-18, I like it. It fits the time period nicely, with mass production of equipment, the advent of the tank, and change in warfare, with millions of men fighting all across Europe.

I hope you will allow me to make a humble suggestion as to the title?
Ducle et Decorum est
from the poem of the same name by Wilfred Owen.
Dulce Et Decorum est
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!–An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce Et Decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Bit too Falloutish imo, come on people we need a name so we can get going, also we need to get recruiting for modellers and skinners and what not.

What if we focus on 1914-1915 for the first couple of releases?
Then we could use Schlieffen-plan as subtitle.
Iron Europe: Schlieffen-plan 14-15?
I'll start making an IRC channel.

Sure, we can have a sort of modular release thing, early war. mid and later. The battlefield increases in complexity as it goes too with tanks and planes and gas so as further releases happen more features are added.
I've made a mockup of a 1914 German uniform though my skinning skills are very rudimentary (plus i don't know how to see it on the model, damn UT!) The basic German uniform only requires a new helmet a new backpack and a few slight changes to the field gear, collar and tunic opening to make it perfect for a German WW1 soldier. Wonder how many modellers RO has floating around...
