Default Re: British OOB June 1944 - additional formations?

The German MC "get all the attention" because they were used in a combat role which British bikes were not used for after Dunkirk ( and only rarely ) but WERE used extensively to relay messages. These were the Don R's or dispatch riders.

It's quite possible you may have perhaps seen a reference to them being used as part of an assault platoon at some point but it's quite possible donkeys were part of an assault platoon at some point in the war as well but we don't model them.

Find me a solid reference to them being used in actual combat after Dunkirk as part of a formations TO&E and I will put them in but had they been used in combat rest assured Andy would have had them put in long ago.

I will make a note to look into adding them pre Dunkirk.
