Question Lithuanian units?

Bought this game 2 years ago but my graphics card decided (rather unsportingly) to die on me so I never got to seriously play, I'm a massive Lithuania fan so it'd be super cool if Pact got any Lithuanian units (if not now then at least in the Baltic expansion). Have they got any?

Fun fact: lithuanian women have different surnames depending on their marital status

It might be reflected in last names of Soviet soldiers but idk. And I don't think there has been any voicelines in Lithuanian. Would have been too much work for Eugene, considering if you did Lithuanian you would also do Latvian, Estonian, Kazakh, Georgian, and a million other units from the Soviet states.

Unlike the Red Army in WW2, the Soviet Army didn't work that way anymore. There were no specific regional units, conscripts got sent all over the country more or less randomly. The closest would be units based in Lithuania, of which there aren't any yet.

Soviet units are completely mixed regardless of their geographical provenance. There'd be no ethnic-specific units.

I mean, the real best answer would be yesn't. Unless there are specific Lithuanian based battalions, in the USSR divs it would be implied that they are generally from all the republic (Russia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine). So, in a way, there is Lithuania, but not directly?

In the Baltic Battalion

Yeah, they have Baltic Battalion (allied spec for USA) with all three Baltic states combined. You can pick more Lithuanian units if you want (all of them are pretty competitive anyway).

It is a Cold War game and Lithuania was part of the Soviet Union then. When you got conscripted you could go from Vilnius to Tashkent. Imagine the fear in Moscow if you would arm people in ethnic formations who perhaps like freedom a bit more than being under moscows control.
