The above and below comprises my 20mm Command Decision Order of Battle 1944 "Cromwell" British Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) ensemble. In total seven Cromwell's so far and a strange looking thing called a Challenger (an extended Cromwell that housed a 17pdr in its 'high' turret). I need a further four Cromwells (probably sourced as another two from HaT ArmourFast and the other two from the new Airfix kit), an ARV tank(?) and a Crusader AA tank. Note: I already have three Sherman Firefly's to add in as the company "Tiger Killers" for the RTR, the Challenger only being used in the Armoured Reece Regiment of a 1944 British Armoured Division (so I can technically field a full company tank force from that formation).
I may also need a Centaur 95mm Howitzer variant too to plug into RTR, unless they were still specialised Royal Marine (RM) formations as per D-Day(?). Still plenty of "make" to do with the above. A friend from the Hartlepool Club asked me when I last played Command Decision (in anger) as he had only seen me play with 1/300 or 1/200 kit using BGC and to be fair (and to my shame) it must be over ten years ago now. That is something I shall have to try and rectify this year.

Blimey, nice one Geordie! That's a busy table mate ;)
Busy true, but the Cromwells will be parked in a drawer until further notice
But it is one less kit in the "to be made" pile
I am getting bitten by the 1/300 wargaming scale bug, which means I have been gaming in the wrong scale for the last thirty years
At least I've found it now
Cripes Geordie! Thats a lovely mass of solid Brit armour you have there.
I now get a better idea of those tiny tanks you have been slaving over.
Most impressive.
Cheers Paul
XXX Corps needs all that armour if it stands a chance to bust through to Arnhem ;)
I have another mass of Airfix Shermans in the process of building up another RTR, (only trouble is that they have to share the Fireflys with the Cromwells)
Again, time I took Command Decision III out for a romp again
Have you ever toyed with CD IV?
Yes those 1/300 tanks are tiny and they do cause classic eye-ache, I will have to be careful and take plenty of breaks.
