Re: Any dispute about interpreting the BofB?

Hello Larry
British vehicle situation was very poor, but the figure 80 tanks means in fact medium tanks, in mid-June 40 British 1 Armoured Div had 81 medium tanks, means tanks armed with 40mm 2pdr gun plus mg(s). But in addition 2 Arm.Div had 178 light tanks, small fast tanks armed with one .303 mg and one .5 mg, so rather useless against other tanks but still dangerous to infantry, even more so to lightly armed paras.
