Flames of War: Humber Scout Cars

The 15th/17th Hussars was the 11th Armoured Division’s armoured reconnaissance regiment. Armed with Cromwell and Challenger tanks, the unit joined the division just prior to Operation Market Garden. As the 15th/17th Hussars were not part of the 29th Armoured Brigade, they supported the 159th Infantry Brigade through the battles of the Reichwald. As such, they were the last unit to be e uipped with Comets, and even then there were not enough to go around. A and C Squadrons were equipped with Comets, while B Squadron had to make due with the older tanks. B Squadron was given all of the regiment’s operable Challengers and then filled their ranks with the Cromwells in the best condition. The tanks were grouped into troops armed with the same type of tank. This allowed them to detach their Challengers and send them out to support the Comets and infantry of the division as needed.
