Oh, I forgot to explain why tank formations have 2 names for the same sized unit...

If the tank unit was raised in a regiment that was traditionally infantry (like the Scots Guards) it would be a battalion (because that's what the regiment produced) and be equipped with infantry tanks (infantry in tanks to support infantry... much more trustworthy than those flighty cavalry types. And besides, an infantryman isn't going to complain about being in something that can't move faster than a running man).

If the unit was a traditional cavalry unit, it would be raised as an armoured regiment and operate cruiser tanks.

Both units were identical in structure, so common sense eventually prevailed and all armoured units were called regiments from late 1944.

So, prior to that date, a UK tank battalion must be infantry tanks, and an armoured regiment must be cruisers...

see? logical...

You forgot the armoured battalions fielded by RTR.

I know the various "folds" of the Britishg system but his do not means that it may not be confusing. This is mainly due to the use of the same name to different level units.

For example troop is generally equivalent to a platoon in various arms but in the Royal Horse Artillery is a battery.

cama - they look absolutely perfect

I've got some Merkava's to paint: what colours have you used to paint these?

I'm trying to get a good match on the IDF colour.

Looks fantastic- very inspiring.

What are the best minis to take apart for the add ons? The jeep trailer kits? What do you do for 50 gallon drums?

Thanks, good stuff for us newbies!!

Grant

That is some really excellent work on those pieces. Eventually, I will be getting into AIW but for now I have a lot of WWII stuff to finish. Those are amazing.

Beautiful work as always. Wish I could do what you do.

Have you checked out the M2 & M3 Detail Pack GHQ Stock # US54? Good stuff and I've use it on a lot of different models. I wish it had more 5 gallon cans though . .

Here are some more ACW Figures. I painted these up as the 23rd Penn Regt. Birney's Zouaves and the 1st Louisiana Battalion Coppen's Zouaves.
