Korsun-Cherkassy pocket: British lists (yes, British)

(English text below)

Para nuestra campaña de Korsun hemos creado una ficticia Fuerza Expedicionaria Británica en Ucrania para apoyar las operaciones soviéticas en el frente Sur. La BEF-Ukraine estaría compuesta de dos Divisiones de Infantería (1st Canadian ID, y la 50th Northumbrian), una División Acorazada (la 1st AD Británica) y una Brigada de tanques Churchill (la 21st Tank Brigade), casi todos veteranos del norte de África, que actuarán como una fuerza de élite para asegurar un segundo Stalingrado para los alemanes.

For our ongoing Korsun Campaign, we created a non-historical British Expeditionary Force - Ukraine tasked to support Soviet operations in the Southern front. BEF-Ukraine, a Corps-sized force would be comprised of 2 Infantry Divisions (1st Canadian ID, and 50th Northumbrian), 1 Armoured Division (the 1st AD -British-) and 1 Churchill Tank Brigade (the 21st TB), most of them seasoned veterans from North Africa that would act as an elite force to assure a second Stalingrad for the Germans!

La compañía de rifles británica es un hueso duro de roer, ya sea a la hora de atacarla o de defenderse de ella. Su amplio abanico de medios de apoyo les confiere mucha flexibilidad en cada tarea, y hace que sean un temible oponente. No obstante, con sólo 2 PIATs en toda la formación, deberían tener cuidado de los asaltos acorazados enemigos.


The British Rifle Company is a hard nut to crack, whether attacking ir or defending against it. Its wide array of supporting assets makes them very flexible in every task, and a fearsome enemy. Nevertheless with only 2 PIATs in the entire formation, they should be wary of enemy tank assaults.

El Tank Squadron hace buen uso de los segundos carros más pesados de la campaña, teniendo en cuenta que no se van a encontrar con ningún Tiger o Panther. Sus duras corazas les dan ventaja en duelos contra Panzer IV o StuG III, y el terreno embarrado Difficult Going apenas es un reto para sus Wide Tracks. No obstante, su lentitud y el pequeño tamaño de sus pelotones hace que sigan siendo presa fácil para los variados medios AT alemanes.

The Tank Squadron makes good use of the second heaviest tanks of the entire Campaign, taking into account that they are not facing any Tiger or Panther. Their thick hides give them the upper hand in duels against Panzer IV or StuG III, and Difficult Going muddy terrain is hardly a challenge to their Wide Tracks. However, they are slow and in small numbers, which makes them easy prey for the varied German AT assets.
