okay...
looking at the Home Service Force in my campaign... that would make up the bulk of the "British Army of the Thames" who'd be running training centres and the like. Having the HSF (or 'Home Guard' as many would be calling them) being made up of disabled or aged veterans who'd be at their core. One of the ideas I had for the Home Guard was that they would be recruiting single parents who are of draft age.
Would this actually give a reason for the recall orders for the British Army of the Rhine when things get out of hand back home.
with what you've already shared with me, the growth of the British Army before the start of the Euro-Soviet War would have been into the Territorial Army, and with some new battalions of Ghurkas. But what would it take for the government to raise the cap on the the recuirtment of commonwealth nationals into the British Army from 10% to 15-20% during the years before the outbreak of the Euro-Soviet War?
Esp. with the growth of threats around the globe... and the British Armed Forces being asked by the UN to provide Peacekeepers, would this be something that would cause people to join the British Army? or kind of make them not want to join?
