    Where are the 'Royal Scots Greys'?,the most famous British cavalry unit at Waterloo,I can't believe they've missed this unit out,Christ what an over sight.

    I hope this is rectified,or the authenticity goes out the window for me anyway,they only made the most famous charge at Waterloo and in military history.......oh well.

    Anyone seen this pic before,it's pretty famous,well guess who this lot are?

    It was a pre-order exclusive DLC item on Steam.

    What a joke. After their famous charge with the Gordon Highlanders at Waterloo and they're not in general release?

    They are in the game, but you can only use them if you pre-ordered the game and got a certain code or something. I pre-ordered it off Steam so I received automatically, I don't know how else it works....

    You only got the Scots Greys if you ordered from Steam. No other retail version has them

    I passed on them simply cause I wanted more units that came with the retail copies of NTW compared to the Steam versions. They would probably be the only British cav I would use...

    Once they get released (along with the Unit Editor) I will recreate that famous moment. Scots Greys and Gordon Highlanders (changed Black Watch either through Unit Editor or modding depending on allowances) charging down the field at the French... can't wait. I have that painting up in my room

    Its pride of place in my room, right alongside the Union Jack. My Scottish Nationalist father wouldn't be proud

    @ Simon

    Just to clear it up once and for all.

    The Royal Scots Greys were only available as an exclusive unit if you pre-ordered NTW on Steam. If you got it any other way, no matter what edition, you won't have them.

    Yeah,I see that now,I just thought by ordering the Imperial edition I'd be able to recreate an authentic Waterloo obviously not!!!.......gotta say this all stinks a lot.

    If you READ these forums STEAM you stink,let us at least purchase just these really historic units,please.

    Found the pic on Steam too,here.

    Sucks don't it? I also don't get why CA didn't make any other Highland regiments other than the Black Watch. All it would really take is a simple kilt-colour change + removal of the Black Watch Red Hackle which I'm sure isn't hard. Heck, I was even able to make the ETW Black Watch actually wear Black Watch tartan in a matter of minutes...

    Wait a couple of months. All that pre-order nonsense will be down to a few bucks on steam.

    Agreed. The same thing happened with the pre-order/Special Forces units in Empire. I don't doubt that given some time, CA will make them available to everyone, for a price of course.

    Um, you can build 10 standard highland regiments as England in the Grand Campaign.
