==================== ##### ====================

Note -- I have provided names for all of the "British" because these forces are for a campaign. I want the players to become attached to their men so that they become "attached" to their forces . . . and don't throw troops away in fruitless efforts . . . in other words, to behave as field commanders would.

  1. It'll be interesting to see if having the English & Scottish units named will affect their usage vs the usage of the Sikhs and Ghurkhas.

  2. Rivalry between regiments is quite a feature in the British Army. Men from two different regiments can be drinking in the same bar. It only takes one to say to another "Where were you lot at [insert name of battle here]" for a fight to start.
