Total War in Germany 3.0

the infantry battalion in 4th Armoured Brigade was the 1st Bn. The Irish Guards

Hi Glenn,

No need to check any source. I was in 4th Armoured Bde for five years!

In 1985 I became an FOO in L "Nery" Battery supporting the 17/21st BG. The Irish Guards served in the brigade until 1986 when they were replaced by 1st bn. The Grenadier Guards. I don't suppose it really matters but if one thing is wrong I usually begin to wonder about other things.

Incidentally bfore becoming a "proper" gunner I commanded a Blowpipe Troop in 48 "Talavera" Battery which was attached to the newly formed "experimental" 6th Airmobile Brigade. The two infantry battalions in the brigade had about five times the usual number of Milan AT launchers. The plan was that the brigade would be airlifted in front of a Soviet breakthrough deluge the enemy armour and allow 4th Armoured Brigade to whop them in the flank. Glad we never had to do it!!
