From the British side as the 6RTR is released as a counter to the German tanks and the 12th Hussars make an end run round the German right flank.

What is the code for the tasty German Command truck? It looks just the job.

BRV98 AEC Dorchester ACV (in the British section, Rommel used captured ones...)

Chistened Mamuts if I remember correctly. Good stuff

Super, will add to the list. We had a lorry mounted command vehicle from that era in 36 Engineer Regiment in 1973. But spares were no longer available so the workshop had to make the spares from scratch. For some time we would tow it onto exercise as it was still very nicely fitted out inside, but the effort became too great and we donated it to a museum in the end.

Rommel also used a 250 - varient number escapes me. The ACV's were borrowed during Battleaxe, not sure how long they lasted..

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

250/3 I believe...

But then I am usually wrong.

[Ithoriel]

Quite right, LSoL. A 250/3 named "Greif" (Griffin).

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

That be the beast....

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I got something right!!

Do make an unsual change Will

they were very good at using a generic chassis and adding different stuff onto the top. unlike some other nations closer to home.

The two captured vehicles were called 'Max' and 'Morritz' after two characters from the famous German cartoon.
