Belgian Army

The Belgian Army is the land-based service of the Belgian Armed Forces. After the end of the Cold War, forces were reduced, and the Army was retitled, the Belgin Land Component.

Belgian Army in The War That Came Early
The Belgian Army was woefully unprepared for the German onslaught that came in the final weeks of 1938, and early days of 1939. Despite this, they were highly regarded by both the British and the French because of their tenacity from the last war.

However, as the BEF moved into Belgian, the British were dumb struck by the inability of the Belgian army to not only fight, but properly route fleeing civilians. Their disgust was further fuelled when their King threw in the towel and called it quits.

Despite their countries surrender, many Belgian units refused to lay down their arms and fled south into France to keep up the fight.
