Further minor tweaks for units mentioned before:
27 Sherman V - photo is M4A1 Sherman II - could be 27730.
29 Sherman IB [CS tank] - radio could be 92, so that it's primary choice after its introduction in 2/45 (or 018 Sherman I and 201 Sherman V could as well end on 1/45)
Quote:
441 Crusader III - used from 9/42 until some 5/44 in the 1st Arm.Div. (now 4/42 - 4/43) (in training units used even longer)
442 Crusader II - used from 9/42 until some 5/44 (now 1/42 - 9/42) (used mostly as command tanks, so we can finish with them earlier as well). Late tanks had removed BMG turret.

For a sake of convenience, it's better to end them in 12/43, so that they are not picked by the AI in 1944 (provided, that we put a Med Tank formation on a pick list in 1/44-5/44). From 10/43 a main tank became Sherman.
Quote:
375 44 Tank Sqdn
376 44 Tank Troop - available: 06/44-12/45 (OK)
Now a troop has 3 tanks and a Firefly, like a British troop. Magnuski writes about three-tank troops INCLUDING a Firefly. (...)

In a book by M. Żebrowski (a former Polish officer) published in London on a Polish armour, he gave a composition of an armoured regiment of four 3-tank platoons, although he doesn't specifically deal with Fireflies (possibly he didn't fought in the 1st Arm.Div).
