WW2 ANZAC troops - Operation Mercury

[Sunray]

I want some floppy hatted infantry to do 14th army in Burma.  The suggested range would be suitable.

All votes added.  A long way to go before we hit a viable sculpt quota. 

The only thing in our favour is that it will stimulate the sale of a heap of existing Pendraken figures and AFVs. BEF & Desert Brits,  German paras, ACT13 (assault glider ) plus carriers, mortars, 25pdrs, Mark V light tanks .....and two Tillies (now those could be game changers....no pun intended.

THEY BROKE DOWN !!!

Isn't it the case that a different command pack would suffice, just of officers?

NZ in lemon squeezer
Scots in tam o'shanter
Others?

Interesting idea.  We did that in the Korean range with one solitary French officer with his beret pulled the wrong way. Makes a great proxy for an FFL merc like Steiner. 

As to a broken down Matilda -  throw a six to fix ?

No spares for them, not certain how they got there, as no infantry tank rgts were detailed for Greece.

Interesting.

My only secondary source is After the Battle (Nos 47 & 175) authors Plowman, Grieve and Watson, who "with dogged research" , established the fate of the NINE Matildas of B Squadron the 7th Royal Tank Regiment.

Many of the RA batteries were equipped with captured Italian guns.
