British OOB June 1944 - additional formations?

[Cross]

Hi Imp,

Up to late 1940 British MC troops with sidecar MGs and dismountable infantry could be made available. This would allow them to be used as Home Guard in Sealion scenarios up to that date.

After 1940 I don't think British MC troops (platoons) should be available in SP.

However, I would like to see occasional MC units appear in other formations, like recon platoons, MC scouts.

I would also like to see the MC/sidecar available as a light utility vehicle. The MC was really the multi-purpose vehicle prior to the jeep.

With a crew of one and a carry capacity of two. A MC sidecar would be a size 1 (compared to jeep size 2) and would be slightly faster than a jeep, and available from the start of the war (jeeps become available Sept 1941).

My experience is that MC units are quite vulnerable in SP; and you'd probably get better point/usefulness value with jeeps. This should keep them from overuse.

Both are almost just as vulnerable,

Trouble is a jeep can get stuck,as a MC is easily pushed out and goes over rough handily.

Jeep over MC? i'll take an MC.

One last thing John,

The U.S. never realized the Opportunity's (is that correct phrase) of the MC in warfare either during WW2.
