No New Zealand uniforms for the ANZACs
I've noticed that playing as the ANZAC squad only Australian uniforms are used. Will we be seeing any New Zealand uniforms in the future? I just feel it's unfair to our kiwi brothers since both Australia AND New Zealand made up the ANZAC. Or am I just stupid and haven't noticed yet? :) Making 1 or ever two of the roles in the squad spawn with New Zealand uniforms would be historically accurate :)

they should just rename the squad to 'diggers' or something and remove any pretence of this being a true ANZAC squad because it isn't. it's fully australian to the point they felt an aboriginal soldier is more important to include than any kiwi...

Yeah, I noticed you can spawn as an aboriginal which is great of course, but for it to be an authentic ANZAC squad it should be randomized so you spawn as Aussie or Kiwi, then they should have made it a small chance you spawn as an Aboriginal or Maori.

the ANZAC were eventually split up in distinct digger and kiwi formations however. juts get rid of the name, that's all. i mean most of all other squads are named after their nicknames.

no wait that's not all. also add their distinct slang: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digger_slang

I guess New Zealanders would appear in Middle-Eastern game, when (or if) it will be out. Maybe as a part of ANZAC who may get a better coverage there, and/or New Zealand Expeditionary Force.

Were the white and aboriginal anzacs separated IRL?

Not if they joined. They were officially barred from enlisting however a number did and were allowed in. Once in they were treated the same.

That does make sense, but it would be nice if you included New Zealand uniforms anyway since you've named the squad ANZACs and not Diggers, because the ANZAC was very unique in it being comprised of men from 2 countries. Other than that it's a great game and Tannenberg is amazing!! Keep it up.
