PUBLIC SCHOOLS (MINOR) BRIGADE (5) - ARMOURED SUPPORT

The Public Schools (Minor) Brigade not only enjoys substantial artillery support, but is also extremely well-equipped with armour:

Light Recce Section. 2 No. ""Corgi Juniors" Daimler Armoured Cars. Slightly smaller
 than the Dinky version, and therefore more suitable for "schoolboys". The Corgi version
also comes with a FREE plastic bren gunner as a crewman.

Rear view of the Light Recce Section. The standing "Commanders" are Dinky.

Light Tank Troop. These Mk.6Bs are old diecast Dinkys; the Troop Commander, the top 
half of plastic Airfix 8th Army figure. These tanks are much cheaper on Ebay if found
without (the unrealistic, but original) chain metal tracks. Here cardboard has been
used to simulate track (although a bit more attention could have been paid to
the painting of the insides !)

A side on view of the Light Tank Troop. Definitely back to the paintshop for
 more track and lower hull work !

A Dinky Morris Recce Car converted by removal of the roof. This vehicle has not
yet been acquired for the Armoured Commander, but will be when the right Ebay lot comes along!

The price of the armoured section - a Heavy Tank. This is a cheap bodge made up
of the hull of a broken Dinky Centurion and the turret of an out of scale and equally broken
Lone Star Armoured Car. Somehow, it all works. Note to self - again, paint the tracks !

Concluding Campaign Note : with such reinforcement by the Public Schools (Minor) Brigade, Major-General Everard is now well on his way to achieving sufficient troops to undertake his much talked about massive counter-attack. Whether he chooses to use the Brigade as an attack spearhead, alternatively in a holding role along the Dinmore Hill Line, is just one of his forthcoming (and critical) "command decisions".....
