British Army Order of Battle

[Louie]

The CAT competitions were totally unrealistic and a lot of countries cheated.

Yes, in Richard Kent’s Challenger 1 book he delves into that. U.S. Army team was caught taking pictures and videos of the range, etc.

"Challenger is a tank built for combat and not competitions."

As said by Brigadier Patrick Cordingley, the commander of 7th Armoured Brigade during Desert Storm

[Bernard Woolley]

And with CR2 the army now has a tank built for combat that can also win competitions.

Bernard,

Please shoot me an email, I am trying to update the ORBAT and have some questions.

[Bernard Woolley]

Sure, will do so at the weekend if that’s okay.

Or was it an unofficial competition in the area of scouting/reconnaissance missions?

Being able to shoot is nice, but knowing the terrain, etc., without the other side knowing also matters. It ain't always a case of "dead men tell no tales."

What's that? Whingeing 30 years after the fact? That's extremely un-British

Clint Smith, "If you're not cheating, you're not trying."

James T. Kirk, "I changed the conditions of the test."

Just a Warning Order…
Bernard and I are currently trying to get a grip on updating the ORBAT. A ton of documents have been released since TLW started, so things that were guessed at/like to have turned out somewhat differently from what was planned prior to IRL Wall Fall. So we are trying to reconcile some things to adapt them for TLW (Bernard I hope I did not mis-speak for you)

[Bernard Woolley]

You certainly didn’t, Louie. Thanks for your help.
