I asked one guy if they had any quirky Remembrance Day traditions, and he replied "No, not really. Well, we do go and kick the crap out of the Communications guys, does that count?" And so we did. Great guys.<br /><br />Why do you think I was so hot-to-trot to have you paint those guys as RRR?Christian Knudsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-79525314579431347362010-07-13T16:38:31.042-07:002010-07-13T16:38:31.042-07:00I did notice that!I did notice that!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-10375033291987132002010-07-13T16:36:31.447-07:002010-07-13T16:36:31.447-07:00One interesting thing: look at how much more sand ...One interesting thing: look at how much more sand has built up on the beach over the last 60 years comparing the photo (of the photo) to the current shot of the beach...Paul K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18412489702104381019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-89674958211545968692010-07-13T16:18:29.513-07:002010-07-13T16:18:29.513-07:00Thanks Paul!

They were not survivable in an anti-tank environment, and so they were used mainly for fire support from long range (and then only the support versions), and as rear area taxis that could handle arty. They were definitely not meant to be exposed to enemy direct fire.<br /><br />I must admit that while this looks fun, it also looks like rather a lot of work, not only in terms of figs and terrain, but also in terms of campaign and scenario design.Christian Knudsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-50023799405199232942010-07-13T15:21:08.942-07:002010-07-13T15:21:08.942-07:00Funny enough, as a former RRR, I have "Look t...Funny enough, as a former RRR, I have "Look to your Front, Regina Rifles".
