hey... how about adding some Gurkhas in the mix. I don't know how important they were in the European theatre but they were certainly used in it (though their major contribution in WW1 was in the Middle-East). If interested here's the link: http://www.britishempire.co.uk/force...urkhasmenu.htm

oh... and i just wanted to say... (i just had to ).. if any case u do add them... please don't give those slashing swords or scimitars (whatever they are called) like in Empire Total War. They used Khukuri's (and they still use them). TA

[Wallachian]

Yeah thats a really good idea, the Ghurkas would be a great addition!

[BrotherSurplice]

I would absolutely love to have Ghurkas on the battlefield.

GURKHAS photos added to British INDIAN army
And yes they did participated in WW1 a lot.

-9 Gorkha Rifles ( Gorkha regiment of the Indian Army ) fought in the Great War in Europe and in the North West Frontier.

-8 Gorkha Rifles testified to the enigmatic valour and heroism of the Regiment during the course of combat service in Italy, France, Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) and Egypt.
During the fighting in France, distinguished itself by fighting virtually to the last man during the Battle of Loos on 25 September 1915, hurling themselves time after time against the weight of German defences. Having mustered almost eight hundred men to begin with, by the end of the day they had a frontage of just one officer and forty-nine men.The Regiment won 14 battle honours during this period !
