suggested BR: II
type: BP or event (squad)
gameplay purpose & role: The Allies are currently represented almost exclusively by Americans and British. A bit more variety in the form of soldiers from other nations and weapons wouldn’t be bad. This one, for example, could become an infantry only squad (except 1 engineer and an AT soldier / radio operator) with semi-automatic weapons.
