Might start working up counters for a British force today.  I don’t want them to feel too “samey” with the Americans, but I don’t know what major differences they’d have.  Smaller squads?  I don’t want to make them seem “weaker” than the Americans.  Bolt action rifles, same Lewis Guns, no Chauchats, different MGs (same numbers, though, really).

I’m afraid they’ll be basically the same as US Army counters, just with different artwork and support weapons (Mills Bombs instead of Mk 1 grenades, Vickers instead of M1917s, Lee Enfields instead of Sprinfield M1903s, etc).

Also, did they have some kind of “special” force?   The Germans had storm troopers, the Americans had Marines.  I’m thinking engineers, but I don’t know if these were some kind of “assault troops” in 1918.
