Default Re: British Mech infantry Service Dates and vehicles

I will check this out further. The Lloyd was always a bit of a kludge/bodge methinks - I think the original "Lloyd carrier" is a hold-over from the original SSI OOBs, where it was used as an APC for the entire war (may be thinking SP3 here though?). It has definately been around some time anyhow!.

Probably the best thing to do if the thingy is to be removed (which seems best) is to:
a) nationalise the existing APC version to 0 - in case some scenarios have it
b) Change the stats of the arty tow version slightly (this seems to be the main use - specifically 6 pdr ATG tows)
c) Advance the start date of the UK mech inf formation until the halftracks arrive, and ignore the weird earlier carriers (which were rear service equipment with no protections). Change pick list code to suit.
d) Examine all Commonwealth and Commonwealth-supplied OOBs to the same.


Cheers
Andy
