Canadian Divisions?

I would be interested to see how this mod will use the canadians andd Aussies. the Canadians had extremely high cohesion and brilliant mid level and low level feild officers. And were in the scrum from the very beggining.

Both are ingame already, with the Canadians as an elite unit. I'm also thinking about adding a Canadian Infiltration Battalion that I read about.

A Canadian Infiltration Battalion? Does that refer to the tactics employed by the Canadian Corps, or something else?

From wikipedia:

[Hutier/infiltration] tactics emerged gradually during the later years of World War I, used in various forms by the Russian general Aleksei Brusilov in Brusilov Offensive of 1916, by the Canadian Corps at the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917

The British did not even translate it, but did gradually adopt the techniques, beginning with the Canadian Corps.

I thought it might be an interesting unit option for Britain. Currently only the Germans have access to infiltration and storm tactics, but this will change.

Sounds interesting. Do the Australians have higher stats than your typical rifle battalion? I think this might be appropriate, as Australia played distinguished parts in several key battles and may have been considered crack infantry themselves.

This mod looks awesome, I can't wait to try out the canucks. I have been wanting to pick up Napoleon TW, I soppose that this is my calling card.

Same, I think I just might buy Napoleon for this mod. No pictures of the Canadians on this forum though....

"as i Canadien, i support this post". this mod is awesome, although maybe indvidual battalions could be added, as well as historical battles like vimy ridge(is this already there? i haven't looked)

If you look at Germany, Italy, France, they do have some more faction specific and individual units. I don't know how specific you mean though, but we definitely won't have the level of unit specificity (is that a word?) of the AuM mods or the like.

Historical battles are very difficult to make, so TGW probably won't have any until we get a good mapper
