Do we NEED it? Probably not. Would it still be cool? Heck yes.

Add A British Faction!
Hi Everyone!
Just recently Heroes Of The Rising Sun came out. And thats certainly good; it adds some more faction flavour and depth to Cow. But I must ask why CoW has not yet made a British Commonwealth faction. After all, had it not been for Britain pulling through the Blitz in the Summer of 1940, led by the great Winston Churchill, the world may very well have been a very different, and darker place.
Anyways, In making a British Faction, it would eliminate some British Icons currently in the Western Allies faction, namely the interceptor and heavy tank. In my view the icons for those should be the P-51 Mustang and M26 Pershing, respectively. I suppose that would become the new American Faction.
Suggested Unit Icons For The British Faction:
| Unit | Icon |
| Armoured Car | Daimler MK I |
| Light Tank | Vickers MK VI |
| Medium Tank | Cromwell, any variant excluding MK VI |
| Heavy Tank | Churchill MK IV |
| Tank Destroyer | Archer |
| Interceptor | Spitfire V or IX |
| Tactical Bomber | DH 98 Mosquito B IV |
| Strategic Bomber | Avro Lancaster MK I |
| Naval Bomber | Short Sunderland |
| Nuclear Bomber | Avro Lincoln MK I |
I hope these suggestions will be acted upon, but I've of course wanna know your opinions on the concept of a Commonwealth faction, and on the units I've included in the above table.
Best Regards and Good Luck Generals!

I see why it was not the first to be put out. The Western allies shared equipment extensively through the war, so besides planes, the units could really be swapped in and out (such as the Wolverine and Hellcat, which were actually given their names by the Brits). But after the Japanese skins coming out, the British are sure to be next in line. (applause to the use of the Cromwell, tis my favorite tank)

Yah, I get the whole equipment-sharing thing. After all, there was lend-lease. And the Cromwell's cool too, being it had the engine of the Spitfire adapted for use in a tank, and it made the thing real fast. But yah, with the Japanese already here, the Brits should definitely be next.

The brits had very seperate equipment. They are probably almost as nationally proud as Americans, and so they liked having their own stuff. The few things I can think of the allies sharing-51s, B-24s (the british used them for anti submarine duties) those 50 destroyers that american sold them for the atlantic bases and.... Really cant think of anything else

yea Id say they should get their own faction
be pretty cool

Brits did use all kinds of American Equipment, despite national pride issues. The British used the P-39 Airacobra, P-40 Warhawk , P-47 Thunderbolt , P-51 Mustang,as eruth mentioned, the F2A Buffalo, F4U Corsair, F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, A-20 Boston, B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell, and many, many more, just in the aircraft category. Afterall, the British gave the M3 Stuart and M4 Sherman their names!

Man, if we had British, it would be awesome. I think French and Italian is a bit too much, since I still haven't filled parts of the 'Secret' section of the British tree: British Research Tree

French and Italian would certainly be nice too. And Pablo, are you talking about what units would be shown in the tech tree for each lvl unit? If so, I can certainly make a table.

Pablo has a post on this, with plans for what the the units would be on the tech tree. It's incomplete, thoughLiberinsula wrote:

Well fair enough. The skin probably looks kinda odd since the Germans didn't really have any true strategic bombers brought into service anyways, thus making pictures of them scarce by nature.

How's it goin', @Liberinsula?
