So having played as France and Prussia, I've finally gotten around to having a go at the European campaign as Great Britain, but I have to say I'm not impressed, as there seems to be a lot of units left out.
Looking through the building browser to see what each building recruits, I first noticed the lack of elite and well-known troops. No Coldstream Guard, no Scots Guard, no Royal Welch Fusiliers, no King's Own, no Royal Scots Greys, no 95th (greenjackets) though there is a generic 'Rifles'. Hell, even the 33rd, the regiment with which Wellesley made his name (And a certain Mr Sharpe immortalised) doesn't seem to be here.
So that was pretty annoying, but what the hell, I can just rename some other regiments right?
But.... Then I see there's no grenadiers. Now aside from the different tactical option they offer, the grenadiers are a pretty damn iconic part of Britain's military history, so why the hell are they left out?
