Would like to see a gatling gun if that's possible. Would also like to see the Americans expanded on, perhaps some Spanish units, and Russian troops. Oh yeah, and more highlanders, can not forget bydand land.
I am not sooo keen on the idea of American troops, as I enjoy exploring the more obscure elements of history. But I do like the suggestion of a Gatling-esque like weapon; something like the
Mitrailleuse for preference. A late Chinese Imperial Army or Mahdist Sudan would add some non-eurocentric flavour for events. I have also in the past suggested either an Imperial or Republican Mexican Faction, given their connection with the early French Empire under Napoleon III. But I think that I will be happy with these two new factions, no matter what. I really enjoyed the micro and 20th century Factions, but they lack sufficient balance and realism for organised events. If you are adding nuns, however, I would still like to dredge up my old suggestion of including Vivandière for the French faction, as either female medics or in some sort of support role.
