Stirring stuff! We found the t-26 (and/or similar tanks of it's calibre) to be awesome. Although my mighty A-9's never seem to do well Wink

Glad you liked it chaps. Normally I field a 45mm T-26, so the short AT range of the 37mm variant came as quite a shock. Still the dominant tank of its era though.

Excellent - It's so tempting do to this period

That's a pretty good representation of Petty France / Dunkirk

As an aside I broke down there last Tuesday after a fun day out at 4Ground's factory.

I told Green Flag I'd broken down in Petty France on the A46. They sent a recovery vehicle to Petty France FARM in Ledbury, Herefordshire. Thank god I didn't say I'd broken down in Dunkirk!

I had to wait 4 hours - I could have walked home to Stroud

Upshot was that the insurance company phoned me the next day and gave me £50 in compensation

Maybe I will do this period Smile

I have a map from 1919 and the area has changed very little, if any, since then. Google maps is a great help with its streetview capability to check the general landscape, as it's a while since I drove down that road.

Anyway, it's a great period to game as it has so much flavour to it. Might try and get another one in over Xmas...
