I wouldn't think it much matters(?) game wise in terms of how many of the Cromwell tanks could've been reused after the "
Battle of Happy Valley" since it appears the ones they got had successfully been attacked by the use of pole charges by the Chinese.
At best I wouldn't think more than a handful (Though one below suggests 12 were reused.), but what an interesting piece of history that as these articles suggest has been forgotten about on the other side "of the pond" as well. In order of mentioning the
CROMWELL tanks specifically...

From the next...
"Some saw service in the Korean War with the 7th RTR and the 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars." Also the mod section shows a CROMWELL of 1950 in the 7th RTR paint scheme.

If I may...
It seems that what I had onboard was "disrupted" enough to have been rendered dead by my security protocols, well pretty much anyway and it wasn't going anywhere. But not wanting to show up on the search for this culprit on this site, as happened to one of our long time contributors, I for my piece of mind and if needed here should my IP Address had of come up as well, spent $150.00 (
So Merry Christmas to my PC!) to be sure, my protocols were good resulting in no malicious malware or viruses. Just some registry issues that needed some attention that were starting to cause some very minor performance issues (Need to get a better Registry Cleaner I suppose.) Got other things done for the price as well hardware wise etc. Bottom-line well worth the price of being a good citizen on this forum.
So to everyone that reported this issue my thanks as it made me more aware of mine!
Andy and Don what more needs to be said, but, thanks again for keeping use in the loop and making my PC happy with it's Christmas present though, early!?!
Mr. Brooks I haven't forgotten your
wonderful staff and your personal involvement a handful of years back in taking care of me that allowed me to "Get BACK IN THE GAME
" That being said it's hard enough in this business (Or any now.) competitive as it is, to deal with something like this out of nowhere, so again I have the pleasure to thank your staff and you for doing all that could've been done to make things right again in our world.
It's a good day when I can use some "
Smilies"!!
Regards,
Pat
