Bringing "Native" troops to other theaters

Has anyone ever tried bringing say Native Americans to fight in the European theater say when your faction has few to none of skirmishers of your own. (early on in the tech tree.) Or perhaps sending Indians to fight "Indians".

Yes , due to their ability to hide in the open etc, they have been useful in both European and Indian theaters. At least that is my opinion.

I sent my North Africans and Non-American Indians in as cannon Fodder, brilliant.

It's very fun, and great for RP purposes. Sometime soon, I'm gonna try making Native American riflemen. That'd be sweet...

More of a reverse situation really, but using Shaturnal Camels in Texas hasn't had quite the element of surprise on the Pueblo Indians I was hoping for

Initial experiences indicate that 'Seeing the camel' isn't destined to become a Pueblo metaphor for initiation in battle, or in any other language.

Nice!

Whilst I was somewhat, er, discombobulated over the weekend & "accidentally" sold the entirety of the original Cherokee lands to France (it seemed like a good idea at the time) I've had to relocate my dozen units of mounted tribal gunners to the European theatre, where they have proved surprisingly effective in the land war against the Austro-Hungarian empire. They just seem more, well, skirmishy than dragoons, & I don't care if they get caught as long as they've distracted the enemy.
