They arent classed as Special forces as such, but are considered one of the elite fighting units of the world. These days, as well as the Royal Regiment of Gurkhas, there is a Gurkha Parachute Regiment as well. There are stories about them tossing the decapitated heads of their enemies into the German trenches during World War 1. This had a demoralising effect on the German soldiers. There are similar stories from the Falklands War. It is said that an Argentine unit surrendered as soon as they got wind that the Gurkhas were coming. Cant really say I blame them. I'll be releasing the Gurkhas in 3 seperate packs, European (Italy), Jungle and Desert versions. Officer / Serg / Corporal or Private in each pack. First lot should be out in the next couple of days. I'll post a link here.
