Aust Churchill Matilda Grant tanks
 

From 1948/49 the 1st Armoured Regiment, (Regular Army unit), was equipped with Churchill tanks, though initially intended to receive Centurions. 1st Armoured Regiment was equipped with the Centurion Tank as of 1952/53.
The Matildas and Grants were allocated to two reserve, (CMF) armoured brigades, one equipped with M3 Medium diesels and the other with Matildas, 1948/49.
The 4/19th Prince of Wales’s Light Horse and the 8th/13th Victorian Mounted Rifles Regiments had the Grants.

Because of the unsuitability of the Churchill, Australia was unable to provide the necessary armour support during the Korean War, i.e. 1st Armoured Regiments’ tanks did not go anywhere, stayed at home.

Is it possible to have some indication with in the game, via the information box to distinguish between Regular and CMF Units with these tanks as they represent 2 distinct level of training?

It would also not be possible to have a formation of a mix of Churchill and Matilda tanks since one is CMF allocated the other regular Army allocated.

This may be too difficult to set up.

Simple - do not buy Churchills and Matildas together.

There really is no need for a CMF tank force, as a 5 point experience difference is not worth the difference, or to split it all up into new tank classes and probably have rewrite the AI pick (not trivial). Assume any CMF armoured units have had a refresher course in any hypothetical 1950s war.
