Tiller Operational Campaigns Tournament No. 01

[LEGXXIIPRPF]

Smedley and I have started Minsk 44: 0629_01: 5th Panzer Fire Brigade in the second round.

(Actually it is 5th Panzer DIVISION).

The term "Fire Brigade" may be uniquely American in origin, or at least English speaking nations.  The term means a unit that is frequently kept as a quick reaction force and does not indicate the size of the unit (i.e. Brigade).  It's origin refers to actual fire fighters - now called fire departments - that were organized by towns and cities; in military parlance the designated Fire Brigade would respond and put out "fires" (attacks) through swift fire fighting (counter attacks).

Thank you for your explanation!
This makes perfectly sense. My typical disadvantages as non native English speaker.
