The British Army of the Rhine

As promised here are my Poms (oops, I mean Brits, ah English ... well I am an antipodean.)

We have a mixture of forces, with FV432s, Chieftains, Chieftains with stillbrew (my own scratch build), Warriors and Challengers, Abbots and M109s.

Now, I don't actually have all of there Brigades.  They're showing some of the options that I have. Pretty sure that I can field a full Division in various configurations though.

I realised that I didn't get a picture of the Corps troops - mainly the Artillery.  That will have to be for a later date.

It also occurred to me that, while these pictures give the broad brush of my forces, it might be of interest to do some close-ups of a selection of these models.  For another time.  Cheers till then.
