Hey guys, i'm planning a British Armoured division to do after i've finished my German tank army. Does anyone know a link to an intelligence briefing PDF? If not, please could i have advice on some books which provide a good British armoured division? Thanks guys.

"British" in the sense that its organised and equipped like a British Arm.Div, give or take. Also contains recce and mounted infantry lists, so you get a fair few lists to be going on with. Not aware of any British British Armoured Div PDFs per se, so I too would welcome any that might pop up.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all" Mario Savio |

I just looked over both PDFs, and i must say they are exactly what i am looking for. the Polish one suits my idea better, but the guards one is and excellent idea for my brother who is also starting a British armoured division soon. Therefore i'll go polish, but thanks guys for both of your inputs.

Polish as opposed to "Spit and Polish"?

Hahaaha Arbeitsschu, but na, the poles lol. By the way guys, a question with the Polish Armoured division, it says under Field artillery (sp) sextons that the OP carriers have to be replaced by Observer Sherman OP tanks. I looked on the online store and didn't see any products with this name, but i wasn't sure if they were normal Shermans or not. Please help! thanks

It is indeed a normal Sherman. It plays differently in game though as most of its weapons are 'missing'.

Buttons Should Be Brass, Not Gold!

OP Shermans had the gun removed and replaced with a wooden one so extra radios could be fitted in.
This is the one knocked-out at Villers-Bocage, you can see the wooden barrel on the ground...

Thanks guys for replying. I had no idea that they did this in WW2. Thanks a lot for telling me, and for showing me what to use!
