The regiment replaced its old Tetrarch light tanks with the new air-transportable M22 Locust tank. A handful of these landed and went into action. However, when the regiment’s seaborne leg caught up with the division, the Locusts were traded for the more powerful Cromwell tank.

The squadrons’ airborne recce platoons provided the division with its reconnaissance element. Reorganised with universal carriers and Dingo scout cars, the platoon could easily out-manoeuvre the enemy and collect information.

The regiment also had a strong support element with MMG Carriers. This unit was in high demand by troops across the whole division. Unlike normal MMG carriers, these fought with their Vickers machine-guns permanently mounted to the carrier and acted more like self-propelled machine-gun tank. Their services were rendered to all sorts of combat elements within the 6th Airborne Division.

Like the regiment’s MMG carriers, the unit’s mortar platoon was in high demand. Armed with powerful ML 4.2” heavy mortars and landed with the Locust light tanks, the battery was in a good position to help out anyone who needed a hand.

The Command White Scout Car (Recce) of an Airborne Assault Platoon is a Recce team.

The Motorcycle Pioneer Rifle teams of an Airborne Assault Platoon use the Motorcycle Reconnaissance and Solo Motorcycles rules on pages 196 and 197 of the rulebook.

Like recce regiments from other British infantry divisions, the 6th Airborne Armoured Recce Regiment has a small ‘blitz’ troop of motorised infantry to support the unit. Sometimes this means performing additional recce work using light mo-torcycles and sometimes dismounting to remove a roadblock.

Gliderborne troops offered the division the ability to deliver a lot of troops in a concentrated area. This concept was spectacularly demonstrated by the 2nd Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire (2nd Oxs & Bucks) Regiment when they captured Pegasus Bridge in Normandy.

These elite troops went into action again during Varsity, landing under fire in the operation’s toughest landing zone.

nThe divisional anti-tank guns were essential for setting up successful defence positions. However, the paras also found the 6pdrs useful as infantry guns, knocking out German strongpoints in buildings and dug-in positions.

The heavier 17pdr guns were flown in by heavy Hamilcar gliders and used to deter enemy armoured counterattacks.

Operation Varsity was the division’s second combat jump, following the D-Day landings. British and Canadian para-chute battalions were landed opposite the Rhine to secure the region ahead of the main Plunder crossings. Unlike Normandy and Market Garden, the air drops were done after the main assault was launched and efforts to resupply were sent in straight away to ensure success.

The battles were tough and costly, but the paras succeeded in their mission and then led the British advance across Northern Germany.

The Royal Artillery’s Airlanding Light Batteries supported both airborne divisions with dedication, despite their light weapons. The M1A1 75mm pack howitzer was capable of being broken down into small parachutable loads, but in this case they were loaded into gliders with a jeep tow vehicle. That way they could land together and get into action much faster to support the paras with high-explosive and smoke bombardments.

Corps support

Infantry tanks are attached to infantry divisions to provide direct armoured support for infantry assaults. They can include up-armoured Churchill Mk VII models that lead the way against enemy resistance. The 75mm guns of the Churchills are effective against enemy machine gun nests.

Part of the Guards Tank Brigade’s task force included a battery of M10C 17 pdr SP guns. These gave the group a solid anti-tank weapon in the event that an enemy armoured counterattack developed.

Armoured Car and Scout Patrols are Reconnaissance Platoons.

Originally raised from a cadre of English and Welsh bar-risters, the Inns of Court are known as one of the finest reconnaissance units at the Allies’ disposal, with an uncanny ability to locate safe routes of passage.

When they encountered superior German forces they always got themselves out of danger. We jest that their extraordinary skills in reconnaissance and subterfuge must certainly stem from a pact with the Devil himself!

Montgomery assembled over 4000 guns to bombard German defenders at the start of Operation Plunder, more than at El Alamein or any of his Normandy battles. Artillery support is readily available in overwhelming strength to any assaulting unit.

The Royal Artillery 25 pdrs can easily range across the Rhine and support attacking units on the eastern bank for several miles beyond the landing sites. They have a high rate of fire and plentiful ammunition. Any German defences will quickly be smashed.

The Typhoons of the Royal Air Force now reign supreme over Germany with the Luftwaffe vanquished. They attack any exposed German infantry or armour unit with no warning.

The little Auster AOP air observation plane is in its element in the Rhine crossing battles. There is no longer any Luftwaffe to worry about and the Auster is not delayed by the Rhine or its banks. Its crews are able to respond very quickly to fire requests from the ground troops below.

sectiOn MOrtarsBritish parachute platoons carried a lightweight ML 2” light mortar in each section as a grenade launcher, along with a few rounds of smoke ammunition. The plan was to use the mortars to screen German machine-guns as they bypassed or assaulted them.

gaMMOn bOMbsLieutenant Gammon devised one of the airborne force’s most useful weapons, the No. 82 Gammon Grenade. This clever but simple device consists of a cloth bag with a fuse attached. Since every para carries sticks of plastic explosives that can be pooled for demolition work when needed (or used to start cooking fires!), all they require for a devastating anti-tank grenade is a way to detonate it. With the Gammon bomb they insert sticks of explosive, close the bag, pull the fuse, and throw.

An Airborne Armoured Recce Squadron uses the following special rules in addition to the normal British special rules (see pages 246 to 248 of the rulebook).

All Rifle/MG teams in a Parachute Platoon and Airlanding Platoon carry Gammon Bombs giving them Tank Assault 3.

Each turn one of the Parachute Platoon’s Rifle/MG teams may fire as a Light Mortar team firing Smoke.

PlatOOn, debus!The 6th Armoured Brigade made exceptional time on its advances into Germany. This was due, in large part, to the close cooperation with the infantry they were assigned. British riflemen and paratroopers and US airborne platoons made an excellent team with the hard-fighting Guardsmen.

Infantry teams have a 3+ Save while Mounted on a Churchill tank team as Passengers instead of the normal 5+ Save (see page 101 of the rulebook).

Canadian SpeCial RuleS

Guards special rules

Canadian Platoons do not use the British Bulldog special rule. Instead any Canadian Platoon that is Pinned Down may re-roll failed Motivation tests to rally from being Pinned Down.

Canadian Platoons use the German Mission Tactics special rule.

unFlaPPableThe Guards are the most prestigious regiments in the British Army. They are well known as being ‘unflappable’, retaining their discipline when things go wrong. Under circumstanc-es where other units might get themselves in a ‘flap’ and become unsettled.

Guards Tank Platoons may re-roll any failed Platoon Morale Checks.

cOMMandO rulesCommandos are the elite shock troops of the British Army and Navy.

Vehicles from the Armoured Car Squadron HQ and Armoured Car Platoons may re-roll failed Skill Tests to Disengage (see page 194 of the rulebook).

assault trOOPsThe Canadians have maintained their enviable reputation as aggressive assault troops, unwilling to be stopped by enemy fire, no matter how heavy.

wOOdsMenAlthough Canada has been settled for centuries, it was not until the Nineteenth Century that its population underwent significant growth and it remains a largely rural country. Canadian soldiers are typically a little more independent (and unruly) than British soldiers.
