Once again I respectfully disagree, A25.4 tells me two things 1) All commonwealth nations use British counters and 2) Most of these troops are concidered elite for the -1 HOB drm.
A7.9 Specifically list British Elite and 1st Line Unit (not troops), it doesn't say 'all commonwealth' or 'and commonwealth units'. This is a specific list and commonweath troops are nor mentioned.
You are incorrect....period, end of sentence.
I know for a fact you are wrong, if the examples I have posted above are not enough for you, then write a question to MMP....
You're obviously stuck on your beliefs that you have read this correctly that nothing anyone here can say to you will convince you..but here is one last try:
'British troops also encompass all “Commonwealth”, Free French, and liberated forces.'
This statement makes 'Commonwealth' a subset of 'British'.
'British troops were renowned for their marksmanship and calmness under fire (or “Moral Fibre” as they termed it). Therefore, their elite and 1st Line units are immune to Cowering effects [EXC: Free French; 25.53].'
This statement makes all British troops, of which 'Commonwealth' troops are INCLUDED...immunity to Cowering. The part about the 'Free Frech' being excluded AND NO OTHER COMMONWEALTH troops is absolute proof. If as you believe that 'Commonwealth troops' are not immune to Cowering, why the EXC for Free French Commonwealth troops.
The exception proves the rule, otherwise there is no need for it.
And 50% of your tournament directors are wrong as well....
