	PakDef Forums - Why Indo-Pak Armies Failed in War
		The Indian commander decided not to outflank the Pakistani's in front because of three reasons i.e (1) that his four tank regiments were opposed by two tank regiments (2) no news of his left flank protection force (3) that his rear was under attack.
		Pakistan's 1st Armoured Division with five tank regiments and additional two supporting tank regiments on the flanks failed to breakthrough the Khem Karan area on 7th and 8th September at a time when only one Indian tank regiment with ancient Sherman tanks was opposing the Pakistani five tank regiments having most modern Patton Tanks.
		This was a case of the Indian brigade commander losing his nerve because of timidity and irresolution and the Indian GOC not spurring his brigade commander and instead withdrawing to the rear for the next two days while only one tank regiment opposed his division.

		The brigadier who had protested the folly of the attack was replaced, and under his replacement 23rd Armoured Brigade left the 8th Armoured Division to become an independent infantry support formation, winning glory in the Second Battle of El Alamein, before leading the pursuit of the beaten Afrika Korps.
		Their equipment was unusual since armoured divisions normally operated light, fast Crusader tanks rather than the slow, heavy Valentine tanks, but with a shortage of suitable tanks, they had to make do with what they could get.
		While they were with 8th Armoured Division, they carried that division’s green GO symbol on the left-hand side of the hull, front and rear.

	1st Royal Tank Regiment Interest
		Command of 11th Armoured Brigade in the 1st Armoured Division in Germany at the end of 1982 confirmed that he was under consideration for the Army’s higher echelon.
		Competition was intense and often pursued with no quarter given, but in the assessment of the divisional commander he emerged as the most decisive and quick-thinking of his brigade commanders, with a remarkable sense of how to use the ground to best tactical advantage.
		The 11th Armoured Brigade was also particularly self- confident and happy at this time, because of the same caring attitude he had consistently shown when commanding his regiment.

	Second World War Books Review
		The 4th Armoured Brigade lacked any regiments of its own and was assigned the job, even though it had no experience in the infantry support role.
		Logically it should have been permanently under the command of the 4th Indian Division whose troops the Matildas would be aiding, but logic took second place to the influence of the cavalry lobby.
		The 7th Armoured Brigade was short a full regiment, and was gifted with no less than four types of Cruiser tank, all with different speeds and mechanical reliability.

	Wargaming World War II - Megablitz - North Africa 1943 - The Race For Tunis
		The US forces were numerically the largest of the three Allied armies converging on Tunis, but the individual battalions were rated only as ‘trained’, reflecting the fact that this was their first experience of combat.
		The Germans withdrew behind their minefields after smashing up 1st US Infantry Division and beheading 6th Armoured Division, having overrun its Headquarters and destroying its Engineer Battalion - which would be sorely missed later.
		At the other end of the theatre of operations, the British 1st Army closed up to the Italian Divisions who were lurking behind what appeared to be minefields.
