    Default Indian Units

    I don't know if this has already been asked, but in a later release, will we see Indian units for the UK? I'd love to wreck the Austro-Hungarians with Sikh regiments.

    This is something I've been thinking about too, seeing as India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire.

    Weren't they also extensively used on all fronts?

    Most likely they were mostly used on the middle eastern front.

    There were also some units used in Ypres, the Hundred Days Offensive, Artois and Loos, so they were present on the Western Front as well

    Indian Gurkhas, Sepys, Camel Lancers and all that would be terrific. Hope we'll see them at least in the Egyptian campaign

    Brazil was already an independent nation at that time. I don't know of the diplomatic relations between portugal and brazil at the time, but it wouldn't be hard to imagine that if portugal was a larger player in the war that they would have african corps.

    were Gurkhas used by the British during WW2? I'd think Gurkha regiments would be awesome.


    Imagine a charge across the battlefield made by Gurkhas, Sikhs, and Highlanders. I'd think the Germans would rout just because of the sheer awesomness

    I'm not too sure on the specifics or the source, but I remember reading that Gurkhas or some other Indian units were never send to the western front...

    If someone could find a source that states otherwise then I would agree.
