I agree that the Allies mostly have their elite units in the Special Operations Expansion already. But there are some units among which you mentioned that deserve some attention. However I am not posting this from an official HBG point of view, but merely to scratch the surface of what could or might one day be. I had a similar issue back then with the Elite of the Soviet Union expansion. Designing it in a similar fashion as the German variant was not possible, because of the specific way Soviet elite units developed to be just that. So halfway the design I had to decide to start over again from a different angle and Soviet units became elite by rewarding. It could be a similar game mechanic by which the Allied Elite could be designed. Maybe there are alternatives. But it is off topic to go into that very deep and also I don’t want to give away any rudimentary ideas that exist already.
But on your list it contains some units I also have on my wish list as a player. As a designer I can only say that such an expansion is not (yet) in the making. People could use the Allied units from the Special Forces Expansion and house rule them. That is one of the fun things of the game. You can mix drinks as you can mix expansions to add the flavor to the game as you wish it to be.
So I can’t really answer your question, because I am not officially searching, but I am curious which units th e community thinks are elite units and also why. They could be regular army units who did something seemingly impossible.
Latin America Expansion Heavily Favors The US?
-
The US, Germany and Soviet Union can Align certain nations in Latin America without needing to be at war with a major power.
In 1936 start date, if Germany aligns a nation, the US could just activate Monroe Doctrine and capture it. Giving the US even more IPCs with no trouble since Germany can’t really reinforce it.
Doesn’t this heavily favor the US since they’re going to be the only ones aligning nations before the war with no penalty?

The expansion should favour the USA as in the base game aligning the latin american nations are only a USA ability anyways.

@mike141500 That is only one feature of the expansion. I believe it favors the Axis, overall, but not enough to consider it necessarily unbalanced.

@mike141500 they would be safe until Germany goes to war, at least. We had a game where Germany aligned Argentina super distracting for US kept them busy for 3 or 4 turns where they could’ve been using their stuff to fight in Europe
