5th Canadian Armoured Division

 This is the last Division that I have been building. The majority of the Divisions time was spent in Italy but they were moved to North-west Europe in late 1944.

I am building the kit up for its push into Holland and Germany in late 1944 and into 1945.

I will post pictures once I have painted them up.

So, for organization, I am following the Flames of War set up.

Armoured Platoon:

2 Sherman III, 1 Firefly

Recce Platoon:

2 Humber IV armoured cars

Field Battery, Royal Canadian Artillery

2 Sexton SP

Motor Battalion

HQ: 1 jeep, Battalion CO, Battalion 2IC

Platoon: Sgt with smg, rifle, PIAT team, Light Mortar

2 Corporals with a section of 4 Rifle squads. each squad 5 soldiers, total 20 figures

As this is an Armoured Division, I have cut the infantry down to 2 squads of 2 sections rather than a regular division of 3 squads of 6 sections.
