Thank you James!

If you can help me with this i'd greatly appreacate it. I started up a new thread so I wouldn't hijack yours. The Olive Green overalls sounds good... since i didn't kno wabout the Home Service Force, and wanted to have the Home Guard as full-time civlians and part-time soldiers.

I had read where there were some regiments had been disbanded in the late-1960s instead of being algemated... and it gave me the thought that they could either be reestablished, or those regiments that had ben algemated being split back off to their original regiments.

I know in the US, we can reestablish regiments, divisions and the like at a later date. Isn't that how it's done with the UK?

If you want them dressed differently, how about OG overallls maybe with a brassard for ranks.

Might be worth reading up on the Home Service Force as this gives you an already existing Home Guard type unit that could easily be expanded.

Most will be light infantry - armour will likely be light at best. Some might even end up with .303 No4s and Brens which are still in storage. Converted L98s might also be common. Conquerors have all been used as range targets, ditto most of the remaining Centurions.

It is unlikely that regiments will reform, it is more likely to be an expansion of existing regiments or possibly the creation of new ones for new roles (e.g. NBC Reporting Regiment).
