    Icon3 Foreign separatist formations

    In WWI there were a few brigades or other formations from oppressed countries fighting in army of their overlords enemy. The examples include Czechoslovak legions for Entente armies, Ukrainian nationalists in A-H -army and Finnish jäger battalion in German army. If somebody knows more, they can share their knowledge, as this topic is fairly interesting.

    My main point is, however that will these formations possibly be implemented in TGW, as recruitable by powers that historically fielded these formations? Recruitment could be available after construction of a special building or researching some technology. The recruitment cap of these units could be 1 or 2 to prevent armies of like 15 battalions of Finns. Their cost could be the same as regular infantry and stats similar but slightly better morale (as those guys were real idealists fighting for clear goal rather than some poor farmer drafted far away from home) and they would of course be named specifically. This would add interesting flavour to campaign. Pure awesomeness, or what do you guys think?

    The Czech legion is there, the Finnish Jaegers are there, and I even think there are Ukranians in AH

    The Polish had three independent brigades inside the AH army, they told GB and France that they weren't fighting against them but the Russian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_...in_World_War_I
    The catalans had a regiment or two as well, which fought with the French. I found no backup information, though there's this medal. http://www.allcollection.net/wwi-per...tion~x24081629

    The French had a big foreign mission in Romania to reorganize it's army. They even sent a few troops, and later in 1918-1919 (during the Hungarian-Romanian War) they were stationed in ex-Serbia.

    Here are some highlights on the Czech Legion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovak_Legions.

    Take also a look at this database. http://www.pamatnik.valka.cz/index.p...emid=4&lang=en.

    And take a look at this brilliant slideshow. A lot of Czech humor

    I also have an Osprey book on them. So if you want some specific info, just ask.

    Cheers,

    S.
