Bicycles please   
(seriously)

Remake a horse into a bicycle, then have "horsemen" who come mounted on these bicycles. Would be cool if every troop type could ride them, makes MG's a lot faster to get to the front.

Please add Royal Irish Fusiliers to the British regiments!

[Baillie]

Footballs, for the lols, to spread Christmas cheer and to get a lucky cross map football kill.

I would love to see the Royal Munster Fusiliers if you make an Irish unit. These guys fought at Hill 60 at Messenes.

What do you guys think? They're one of the oldest Irish regiments in the commonwealth and have seen extensive service in the war.

[HWMHall]

Or you could add These chaps. (we were everywhere)

I would personally love to see the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. Given the title royal after they showed exceptional bravery at the battle of Beaumont Hammel were nearly the entire regiment was wiped out in a single charge on the first day of the battle of the Somme.

I would like to see the Gordon's the first spoiler alone deserves a unit of its own

One of the most conspicuous acts of self-sacrifice in the war was the heroic deed of a private in the Highland regiment. This unnamed soldier proved himself a super-hero. His regiment was advancing under a withering machine-gun fire, and one gun in particular was accounting for many lives. Like a flash the Highlander rushed ahead with a bomb, and actually hurled himself on the muzzle of the German quick-firer. He was riddled with bullets, but his body choked the gun, rendering it useless. This act thoroughly demoralised the German gunners, and saved hundreds of Highlanders from death.

Reading all of this it doesn't look like there is going to be many English units? Not trying to be offensive or anything the Empire did a lot for Britain

Whack in some Pals Battalion's

For exmaple the 10th Lincolnshire or "Grimsby Chums"
Or the Accrington Pals

We have more English unit suggestions than any other group.

It would be nice to have Alpenkorps or a distinct regiment from it added to Germany

During World War I, Rommel fought in France as well as in Romania (see: Romanian Campaign) and Italy (see: Italian Campaign), first in the 6th Württemberg Infantry Regiment, but through most of the war in the Württemberg Mountain Battalion of the elite Alpenkorps. He gained a reputation for great courage, making quick tactical decisions and taking advantage of enemy confusion. In one case, Rommel captured 1,500 men and 43 officers with just 3 riflemen and 2 officers under his command.[13] Rommel was awarded the Iron Cross, Second Class in 1914, and the Iron Cross, First Class in 1915.[14] Rommel gained success leading small groups of men, infiltrating through the enemy line under cover of darkness, moving forward rapidly to a flanking position to arrive at their rear areas, attacking and shocking the defenders with the element of surprise.[15] In 1918 he received the order of Pour le Mérite, Germany's highest award, equivalent to the Victoria Cross or the Medal of Honor, for his leadership in the fighting at the Battles of the Isonzo in the north-eastern Alps on the Isonzo river front; during the engagement, Rommel captured the mountain strongpoint of Matajur and its 7,000 defenders with only 100 men. For a time, Rommel served in the same infantry regiment as Friedrich Paulus, who, like Rommel, rose to the rank of Field Marshal during World War II. Rommel was wounded three times in the Great War.
