Love the Churchill lists, I play one myself and they are rewarding. Things I would change:

1. You have got to have 17lb'ers on those M10's. The Achillies is needed to stop the big cats you will see.
2. You. Will need a full strength infantry platoon to sit on objectives, the 2 squad platoon doesn't have staying power.

Some people prefer the Typhoon over the 25lb'ers. I prefer the arty like you have as it may not kill a lot but it sure will be there every turn you need it.

Fixed a typo in the original list with the points of the infantry and artillery were switched.
