Well just have a look at the British Army after about 400 years; there
are very strong differences between English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish
(well NI) units. Have alook at WWI or WWII gaming and the flavour they
nationalities add. Welsh Guards, the Buffs, North Wales Borderers. 101st
Airborne, 82nd Airborne, 1/21st Infantry they all have identities that
would be well expected to last another 190 years at least!
