Two factions gets boring very quickly, as you end up using the same strategy/style of play over, and over, and over again.

Apologies, but I fail to see how having the same units affects your strategy.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

They could add Foreign units rather then another faction.

I do know that there Prussian Mercenaries were in the war (cannot remember what side, but probably both)

I'm sorry, I suppose I should elaborate.

When you don't play as just line infantry, different factions can change the game for you. Russian Partizans and Cossacks, British rockets, Austrian Grenzers, the naval troops (If you can disregard the war cries). There's a whole host of things you can do beyond 'charge, shoot, stab, die' over and over.

However, are you saying that if you were thrown into any of those classes, you would do the same thing you would as line infantry? Because it'd be suicide, you know.

I have never read anything about foreign mercenaries in the war. If you've found something about it, I'll be shocked.



Also, to the earlier comment about Florida drivers;
I resent that, it's the tourists and the people of the peninsula that can't drive. And we all know the latter group is mostly made up of long-term tourists.

Irish Brigade?

There was a Dutch Volunteer company/regiment I believe.

And doubtless there were mercs. Perhaps singel soldiers.

That would probably make sense, General Stuart had a prussian hussar that came all the way to join Stuart. He goes by the name Borsche i think something like that.

Both sides did not need mercenaries and they did not exist. All foreign observers A. Did not wear their uniforms out of fear of a political incident and B. Never ever participated in combat.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

I can think of someone else liking that too =D

Anyways, France would be the most realistic one...

Othersie the Netherlands? Had they still colonies in South America?

The French were actually doing a great deal of tinkering in North America at the time, given their intervention in Mexico and whatnot. Napoleon III was generally supportive of the CSA, but refused to recognize them without the support of the British in order to preserve that particular relationship. So the closest they got was briefly establishing a state in Mexico that owed its existence to the Second French Empire.

So yes, the French were just south of the Rio Grande during the American Civil War. lol
