After reading up on the history of 11th Armoured
in Normandy it seems the artillery came to the rescue
of many allied units in combat and in some cases
literally were the difference between winning and
losing the fight. So bring on the Sextons and my
infantry will be forever more protected by a shield
of HE. One thing that I am still unsure about is
the nationality of the Sextons as 11th Armoured used
and requested artillery help from any and all batteries
available. So even thought they have 11th markings they
could quite easily be British or Canadian.
