NOT ENOUGH STEREOTYPES!
Yep. I have no idea if my project will actually go anywhere, but for concept creation, I might need additionnal inspirational input.
You see, I have the germans, the french, the british, the russians, the gringos of course. I have also the croats and serbs (though my concepts there aren't enough for an entire army, just one or two units).
But I might need more armies for the campaign. You see, it is set in an alien world that mirrors our own. Instead of another parody or remake of the World Wars, I wanted to draw inspiration from future or potential or alternate-timeline conflicts. These conflicts don't have to look "realistic", but they need at least a grain of truth. I have already one campaign idea dealing with an invasion of "russia" by the "usa" and their allies. But I need more, and/or different armies for other campaigns. Armies that are more "obscure" than the mainstream stereotypes of the cowardly french and the german with the stahlhelm.
I'm not begging for concepts. I'm just interested to see if someone has new stereotypes to offer and feels the mighty urge to share them (such as the color of a uniform, the shape of a helmet, the behaviour in battle, etc). Would be great.
Of course I'm doing research myself. But the thing is, as someone who for example doesn't know much about the polish army, I don't know which traits matter. I could make a caricature based on the shape of a rucksack and people might not even recognize it.
