Default Re: British OOB June 1944 - additional formations?

Boys ATR

Sorry iCamp, I don’t recall the details of that inquiry, or where I read it. But I agree that the inquiry was quite possibly looking for tanks actually KO’d, not just immobilized.

Here’s a good site about the Boys ATR:

http://www.rifleman.org.uk/Enfield_B...Tank_Rifle.htm

The site does say it was effective against tracks and wheels. But you can understand that the MoD was probably not impressed by this.

I wasn’t aware that the Boys was such a monster. It was 5 feet 3.5 inches long and weighed 36 pounds. Compare this to the PIAT which was 3 feet 3 inches long and weighed only 32 pounds.

British Motorcycles

British sidecars were fitted with both Lewis and Bren guns; and Thompson SMGs. The ‘Motley mount’ was used for Bren AA.



Here's some Canadian Norton 'Big 4' with sidecar and motley mount:



Here's some British troops with sidecar and motley mount:



I'm sure the Thompson mount was quite rare:



Here's a better look at the Home guard LMG with drum:



Here's a Norton with 3inch mortar:



I assume these are British dispatch riders, from 44/45 with stens:



This is a Norton Big 4 from France 1940:



And this is what the boy in me, expects British MC units to be like in SP:
