FYI

Canada's ended it Norway war task in 1989 with the disbandment of CAST or Canadian Air-Sea Transportable Brigade Group. It was determined that supporting two forces over the vast distances in Europe was unsound. Canada withdrew it forces and reinforced it german bases.

The only Canadian unit that would been in Norway would belong to Allied Command Europe Mobile Force - Land (AMF-l) but only if it had been comitted to action in Norway

The AMF-L was intended as a multinational force that could be quickly despatched to any part of Allied Command Europe's command area - from North Norway, to Germany, to eastern Turkey.

Canada's Committment to AMF-L was a single infantry battalion.

Great read James, really enjoyed it, especially the part that described the Brigade's role back in the UK. One very minor nitpick - 42 Commando's rifle Companies are lettered J, K, L, and M.

Also, does the PWRR exist in T2K? I know it came into being as a result of Options, but I didn't think it featured in either V1 or V2? Or have you adjusted your orbat to include a version of Options?

Cheers

Dave

Interesting read, I applaud you for all the time and research it took to make such a nice piece of work. Can you start on the Canadian or American Army soon?

There are a few bits I have done that are US/Canadian:

3ACR
29th Infantry Division
49th Armoured Division
Marauder Companies
5th (Canadian) Mechanised Brigade Group - in need of a rewrite - see comments others have posted

There are quite a few other articles too on various topics - just search for my name. I would recommend in particular:

Cavalry
British Small Arms Guide
Warsaw Pact Small Arms Guide
Vatican
Chemical Weapons
Laser Weapons
Bunker Complex 712
Royal Naval Party 67

There are plenty of others and feedback or nitpicking is always welcome.

Why not try writing yourself? Pick something you know about and have a go.

Current and future projects I have are Northern Ireland, more UK Brigades, Vol 2 -4 of the UK Vehicle Guide, German Weapon Guide.
