Two suggestions who are not urgent

Hi everyone,
I have two suggestions which I do not think are urgent or even necessary from a game balance perspective, but would be great to add to the game from my point view:
1. Brazilian Expeditionary Force
The Axis gets several volunteer units for free, which I think are a great and a nice addition for the game. They are also helpful for the Axis of course, but they also give the game a historical note. Why do we do not something similar for the Allies as well? In the real war Brazil sent the BEF (Brazilian Expeditionary Force) to fight in Europe. It was composed of 25,000 Men and they fought in the Italian Campaign from 1943-1945 (More information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_ ... nary_Force). Therefore the Allies could get the BEF in 1943 for free (appearing perhaps in the US) either as an INF or only a GAR. Of course such a free unit will not really matter for the Allies, but it would be a nice and from my point of view historical addition to the game. I’m not sure if other countries sent similar forces to help the Allies in Europe, so perhaps other “Expeditionary Forces” could be added as well, if other powers sent such forces to fight in Europe.
2. Invasion of Persia
I always wondered if there is any reason that Persia joins the Allies for free? In the real war Persia had been invaded by the British and Soviets in 1941. Could this not be simulated in the game? I think it would be more fun for the Allied player to do such an invasion in 1941, as normally he does not have much offensive possibilities at this stage of the game. Similar to the invasion of Vichy Syria the invasion of Persia should of course not be difficult for the Allies. Persia should always be captured in 1 or 2 turns. The real invasion did take about 1 turn (20 days). This is much longer then for example the invasion of the Netherlands or Denmark. More information about the invasion can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Sovi ... on_of_Iran
However, I do not know if it would be possible to simulate the invasion properly as the terrain seems not to make it possible to take out Persia quickly. Nevertheless, I’m wondering about this, as the Soviets/British were really quick considering that Persia is a big country.
What are the others thinking about this?
