Before we start (writing from work, I will be able to handle it today late evening), couple of technical questions:
1. About my unit. 3RTR. This should be the unit I am making my core force of? Or do ou want me to make the core of entire brigade (it it is even possible with 200 units limit).

Yes, 3RTR will be your core force and the focus of the actual campaign. But, you will have a say in the deployment and use of other formations too. I don't plan to go deep into logistics but I think it could be fun to have a broad scope in the game, in this case a brigade size unit. Some combat, maybe not involving 3RTR, but important for the big picture, could be resolved through stand alone scenarios.

I do not know the exact organisation.
From Wikipedia:
At the outbreak of World War II, 1/QVR and 2/QVR were formally made part of the King's Royal Rifle Corps, becoming the 7th and 8th KRRC battalions respectively. The 7th KRRC (1st Queen Victoria's Rifles) were designated a motor-cycle reconnaissance battalion and armed with revolvers instead of rifles. As part of the 30th Infantry Brigade, they were hurriedly sent across the English Channel, but due to an error, their motor cycles and sidecars were left in England.[2] They fought in the desperate operation at Calais between 23 and 26 May 1940, which bought valuable time for the main Battle of Dunkirk. All were either killed or captured and the battalion had to reconstitute from scratch.

These units are intact at the start of the game. The companies of the Motor Battalion were supposed to be able to work independantly attached to other units like tank regiments and draw on them for anti-tank and artillery support. They had no organic anti-tank guns or 3in mortars.
