They are outside the era of the game. It runs 1975 to 1985 generally, with a few outliers.

The exclusion of the Warrior is disappointing considering the number of units included which had not made it into production by 1985.

Personally I think the warrior will be nice, but there might be issues (such as lack of ATGM or stabilizer irl)

L85A1 could technically be used as it started coming into service in 85.. personally, i'm fine with the L1A1. :p

But, yes, would like to see the Warrior, and a few other bits in the game for the Brits, as theres a few vehicles etc. missing that would be good to see.

I agree and the majority of my deck is british, but I think that the developers tried to make it so that each nation complimented each other's weaknesses in the two factions, hence missing units.

More Challengers will solve any issue.

I use a primarily British deck. My main tank is the Chieftain Mk. 2, supported by Strikers and US I-TOW missile platforms, with the US AA missiles to mop up those helis. Infantry-wise, I use the LAAD blowpipes and fusiliers in saracens, US Dragon IIs in basic transport (can't remember name) and green jackets and SAS in lynxes. These are backed up with mortar carriers, Gazelles (both recon and gunship), lynx gunships and the UK land recon units.

This combination works quite well, although it is quite vulnerable to artillery and is not that good at attacking.

I think small arms aren't well modelled in the game compare to bigger things. I still don't see much difference if I use M16 or L1A1 despite varied difference except for accuracy and not HE Power.

I'm curious to see why the Sterling-Patchett is not in the game? It was a well used SMG like the MAT-49.

I use only 1 non soviet unit now.
