"Unit Packs" DLC idea

The devs might like to consider producing simple little 'Unit Packs' (not big Campaigns) that we can use in the Editor and Random Mission Generator, I'd be glad to help with historical data and testing etc.
At the moment, the only nations available in the Editor are USA, Germany, Russia and Britain, so it'd enhance the Editor if More units were added such as Japan, Romania and Finland.
(Correct me if i'm wrong but for some unknown reason there seem to be no Spanish units in the Editor, even though a DLC already contains them)
As regards the Random Generator, below are the units it currently contains (depending on the year selected), and welcome additions would be Japan, Romania and Finland.

Incidentally players have been asking for a Japanese DLC and human-Russian DLC for quite a while (my cash is waiting) so it's surprising that the devs decided to spend their time and effort producing the relatively minor conflict of the Spanish Civil War DLC, have players been asking for it or what? (I've even heard rumblings by some players that it's boring)
And as a matter of interest who are the PC2 devs anyway, are they an American-based unit? Do they ever talk to us?
Below are the current DLC's-

I don't think this will happen, as adding new units is a rather lengthy and costly process, especially considering unit models and compared to campaign based DLC. It does not seem worth adding units if they are not used in campaigns. That said, hopefully upcoming DLC will increase the available unit pool in random maps and multiplayer. What I do agree with, is that it would be worth the trouble if the devs went though the current setup of random mission settings and expanded them utilizing what the game already added in recent addons.

SCW was the first DLC in a long Axis Operation series, hence this less known setting. It was received well btw, the only complaint was the AI controlled allies, especially the fact they use the same prestige pool as the player.
