flamingknives Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 If we had have got this travesty of an AFV, and not something like the Cromwell, or Crusader AA, then... Well. Going ballistic would not describe 1/16th of my annoyance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadepm Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I think they probably meant that it was inspired by the BT series, probably the BT-5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Originally posted by gibsonm: I'm guessing that was in 2001 or so? Dunno. It's from the 1/15th museum website. The text associated with each of the vehicles is well written. BTW, I had the pleasure of working with the Lancers and their M113s a few years ago - Feb 2000 IIRC. Very competent and professional - it really was a pleasure. Regards JonS [ November 26, 2003, 10:03 PM: Message edited by: JonS ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the Regt 2IC. Oh, well, somebody has to do it, I suppose. Never had anything to do with the 1/15 RNSWL. Part o' the Rum Corps. Unhappily my one exercise in NSW was also my last as I resigned afterwards because of the Rum Corps mentality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webs Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Flaming - The battlefield is Blitzkrieg era plus. Matildas, A15s, and Daimler ACs are in short supply, so it's normally either an A13 Cruiser or Vickers MG tanklet for armour in the BEF. The French have the Panhard AC, R-35, S-35, B1 bis, and lend-lease Stuarts. The Germans get the 232, Pz II, Pz 38(t), Pz III Ausf F and H, and the Pz IV Ausf D, plus one MG-armed halftrack. They also get the 88, but thank God nobody uses it properly, or in batteries. I play Brit almost exclusively The Matilda rules the battlefield early, until the Pz III H shows up. That panzer is functionally impenetrable to the 2pdr from the front. It's a great game, even if the satchel charges are overmodeled....
