Default Re: WWI and Colonial Warfare.

Leib-Grenadiere I think would be a better name for Grenadier guards in the OOB. I also need to start thinking about and then adding the following units:

Infantry wise:
Jaeger, Gebirgsjaeger, Schutztruppen, Kaiserliche Marineinfanterie,Stosstruppen/Stosstruppspioniere, Landwehr einheiten, Buergerwehr einheiten and invariably some Command units.

Cavalry wise:
Kuerassiere, Ulanen, Dragoner, Husare usw.

And then auxilliary stuff like:
Bavarian and other regional special units, logistical vehicles, Dampfpanzern, planes, guns, mortars, Mgs, bunkers and other fixed defences etc.

The list is probably missing stuff so please anyone mention some stuff. I also have to start thinking about some natives to beat up (Arab/African mix) and the French, British, American and maybe Belgian and Italian orbats too.

The British, French and Americans should not be too hard in terms of infantry types and equipment. Belgium, well I don't really know and Italy, I will need help on Italian colonial era weaponry.
