One last comment, I'd also love to see the provincials in MAC and the Rangers added as well. Which brings me to a movie point. In the film "Last of the Mohicans". A weak following of the book, but a terrific film on the FIW. I always wondered what would have happened if in the ambush scene if the British Platoon that escorted Colonel Munro's daughters had been a Highland platoon instead. Generally, the Native Americans stayed away from the Highlanders because: first, they were well armed (carrying muskets bayonets, claymores, and dirks); second, they were both well trained and disciplined; and third, the Native Americans believed the Highlanders were all under the great spirit's protection because they were all apparnetly insane. I could see the Hurons avoiding the first musket volley, only to run into a second volley of pistols, and then being met by a batch of claymore and dirk swinging madmen in kilts. It would have left a hole in the story, but it would have been a great scene.
