British Empire (and Free French) Force Restrictions

British Empire (and Free French)

After the swirling fights of the previous years, the desert veterans of the Eighth Army are finally starting to push the German and Italian forces out of Egypt.  Meanwhile, First Army has arrived to start the encirclement from the west with the American allies.

Anything from the "British in Africa" intelligence briefing with limitations listed below:
  • Heavy Armoured Squadron (Africa)
  • Light Armoured Squadron (Africa)
  • Infantry Tank Company (Africa)
  • Motor Company (Africa)
  • Rifle Company (Africa)
  • Divisional Cavalry Squadron (Africa)
  • Armoured Car Squadron (Africa)
Limitations:

  • Anti-Tank Platoons may not take 6pdr (this does not apply to Motor Anti-Tank or Anti-Tank Platoon, Royal Artillery) – The Infantry did not start getting them till late in Tunisa.
  • Anti-Tank Platoon, Royal Artillery may not take 17/25pdr anti-tank guns.
Anything from the "British in Tunisia" intelligence briefing with limitations listed below:
  • Death or Glory Squadron (Tunisia)
  • Motor Company (Tunisia)
  • Rifle Company (Tunisia)
  • Armoured Car Squadron (Tunisia)
  • Recce Squadron (Tunisia)
  • Commando (Tunisia)
  • Parachute Company (Tunisia)
Limitations:
  • Death or Glory Squadron may not take Lee HQ tanks
  • Anti-Tank Platoons may not take 6pdr (this does not apply to Motor Anti-Tank or Anti-Tank Platoon, Royal Artillery) – The Infantry did not start getting them till late in Tunisa.
  • Anti-Tank Platoon, Royal Artillery may not take 17/25pdr anti-tank guns.
  • Note, Death or Glory have not gained their Shermans so no Armoured Squadron (Tunisia) are available, nor "Armoured Platoons" as support.  
Similarly the Churchill Tank has yet to arrive so no Infantry Tank Company (Tunisia) or Infantry Tank Platoon as support.  (King Force in North Africa is fine though)

From Burning Empires:
  • LRDG Patrol - no "E" options allowed, only "E/M" or "M" options
  • SAS Patrol - no "E" options allowed, only "E/M" or "M" options (only applies to any supporting LRDG really)
  • Sudan Rifle Company - no "E" options allowed, only "E/M" or "M" options (only applies to any supporting LRDG really)
 There are no relevant PDF lists.

For the sake of completeness, the following Free French forces can be used from Burning Empires:

  • Compagnie de Tirailleurs Senegals - no "E" options allowed, only "E/M" or "M" options, so no Laffly S15TOE
  • Compagnie Decouverte de Combat - no "E" options allowed, only "E/M" or"M" options, so no Laffly S15TOE, or LRDG early war options.
