I just hope it's not a extreme as the brits. I think I would be OK if it was a sort of forward base type of thing, but not as an all in bring your base to the front type of thing the british did.
I doubt this - I went to one of the games conferences before COH2 launch where Quinn Duffy spoke at a developer session. During the Q+A one guy stood up and asked if the Brits would be returning as they were his favourite faction to play. Quinn simply said "why?"
After the guy had enthused about trench building and artillery Quinn reminded him that it was the "Commonwealth" faction. He didn't take the hint and kept referring to them as the "Brits" to the unimpressed looking Canadian.
Having said this the approach by Relic to sell individual armies makes me think we could see a new commonwealth faction - (I'd like some Comet tanks) and who knows maybe we will get an Italian faction - light skirmishers for the dark side? - There's nothing to say that factions need be released in pairs...
