Rename Portuguese Legion Dragoon

What about Guarda do Vice-Re (sorry for any Portuguese-butchering!) / Viceroy’s Guard as alternative name?

Seems a lot of Portuguese colonial/frontier areas made use of Dragoons, with Brazil being the most prominent. Dragoons (and other military) were specifically sent over to Brazil in the 18th century to protect the Viceroy, clash with the Spanish at the frontiers as well as guard the valuables (gold, diamonds, etc). Their post-rev successor are already in the game (Independence Dragoons), but there’s room for both.

I mean, I guess… But I really don’t see the point in that being the RG when you have both the Olivença and Chaves Dragoons.

what’s so special about these régiments ? What distinguish them from other dragoon régiments, in Portugal or in other countries ? Do you have some pictures to share ?

Because we don’t just need a new name, but also a new skin.

I have here pictures of both the Chaves Dragoons and the Cavalry of the Legion of Light Troops.
