Found this site as to the impact of WW2 local to you Lloyd

Some really interesting stuff going on (didn’t realise there were so many US bases in the area), and that the Ox and Bucks trained at Castlerock.

Also the link with the Belgian Army units stationed around the area also came as news to me.

So there’s links to quite a few international options from your local area (not just the locally raised regts), that might inspire you when trying to pick out a units from the mass of available options. Doing a bit of research just starts to “flesh out” your units from the usual “British” or “American” infantry options in the rules, and you really get a sense of connection as you continue to learn more about them and what they achieved during the war. But here’s a start on the slightly different stuff (ofc you still want to find out more about the locally raised units), that might perk your interest 🙂
