Hi all,
Does anybody have any good reading material/links on British Divisional structure in 44/45? Particularly Armoured and Infantry divisions?
Jake
I have several pages I put together http://www.kerynne.com/games/BritishArmouredRegimentTOE.html

Very good pages Fred :)
A couple more sites that might be useful in answering your question Jake are these two:
1. The old Trux lists just about about cover every sort of unit in 21 Army Group using the War Establishment Tables that give details down to every individual position in the unit:

Solid gold for ToE nerds like me :-B
2. Leo Neihorster's excellent site:

Hope those help Jake
Cheers

I've got the original of this one. I've also got a couple of John Curry's edited versions of wargames books and they seem to be much reduced for his editing,
The Bouchery book is great. I have the original two volumes
Tank Battles in Miniature - I got this in a fit of nostalgia a few years ago. But found it was better in teenaged memories than in the hand.
The TOE Yahoo group is good.
There's some good (to me, at least) stuff on the Flames of War site:
11th Armoured (https://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=112&art_id=551&kb_cat_id=35)
Guards Armoured (https://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=112&art_id=502&kb_cat_id=35)
51st Highland (https://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=112&art_id=439&kb_cat_id=35)
Is that what you're looking for?
Cheers, M.
