The choice of National Characteristics gives the Brits a leg up on everyone else, but I think for game balance a second characteristic should be taken whenever one of the listed are:
Tea Time: First wave and reserves come on one turn later, as they were in the middle of tea when summoned.
Brogue: Scottish officer's heavy accent makes orders difficult to understand: ‘Roll' rather than select order die if using Snap to!
Eccentric Officer: Officer Selection sometimes depended on family and school connections. When activated, roll the order die for this officer, if advance or run result, officer moves in direction of die arrow. |

Why not, the rules are based on Hollywood's farcical interpretation of war so why not use their farcical assumptions about the British. |

"Americans Are Always The Stars". Whenever a mixed British-American force takes a casualty, the American player can choose to eliminate a British figure instead of an American one. |

Charmed Life – an officer brings his sword / hunting horn / umbrella into battle. The enemy are clearly bedazzled by such eccentricity, giving the officer a hefty saving throw (and even when failed the officer only receives a wound). Perhaps something similar for the use of bagpipes, and a broadsword giving a melee bonus |

+1 Dave Manley. Maybe add an extra +1 morale bonus as his men follow him, if only out of idle curiousity? |

"Fish and Chips" for a morale booster "It's Merely a Flesh Wound" negates a failed saving throw "Rugby Player" in close combat he gets a bonus attack for every pint of Guinness he downed before the fight. Head wounds have no effect. Wolfhag |

"You're an absolute shower!" (pronounced Shah)
Any unit within 6 inches of an officer armed with a swagger stick (and hopefully sporting a monocle as well) spend one move staring at their boots and shuffling about on the spot. |
