trucks in 15 cwt - 1 ton range
Until pacific, 43 Armoured Div mainly in Australia.
In SWP, few M3 light most mainly Matildas in trooops of 3, as 2 Gun tanks and 1 CS tank. Also some very few M3 mediums used late 45.

The details for 15 MR was the official list, like all things there were variations depending on equipment.

Also later many motor cycles were replaced with jeeps. I can not remember teh dat but I do have a list of teh initial jeep allocation with in 1 Armoured somewhere in my notes. Some Sub HQ also had jeeps allocated when fully introduced.

Later on Machine Gun Bns were allocated jeeps instead of the carrier.

Most of the "B" vehicles such as M/C used as D/R can be simply ignored for SP OOBs.

The mixed matilda platoon - may be useful, was that org used as individual platoons, or was each troop in the squadron like this? (ie a mixed troop needed + a mixed matilda Sqdn formation (presumably without the CS tanks at SHQ in that case?).

I see you need to be introduced to our infantry & tank Jungle fighting.

1. motor cycles as per UK mainly for communication/runner on wheels. Though teh MTR Mor Pl had one it seems for PL Commd(?). Old UK style.

2. The mix of gun and Cs tanks was the standard attack practice. Also little smoke in this its all HE form the CS tanks. Different to ME/NA.

Tactics was. (lead tank) No1 Gun tank, No2 CS tank, No3 Gun tank. Inf Pl in close suport.

So a Coy advance has this conbo in front, It is more of a Coy Arrow head/Wedge formation.

Beside re last post to Don, you need to understand that picture befor I keep adding more here.

We are currently in the early stages of developing and playtesting the WinSPMBT patch. That has top priority and if.....*IF* we are very lucky indeed we might actually get it done before Christmas.....maybe.

As a result, WinSPWW2 is not a priority but we will keep an eye on these threads and when the time comes to start work on the next winspww2 upgrade we'll look into some of these these issues.
