Flames of War: British 7th Armoured, Late War, 1575 Points

This is what I think I am going to work towards. I like the fact that the Cromwell is a “Light Tank” but really is a Sherman. The Cromwell (and Challenger) are a bit strange because their speed combines strangely with their special rule, semi-indirect fire (which requires them to be stationary and long range), but I suppose there will be some situations to stand still and shoot and some situations to use the speed to zip up and get flank shots… and still other situations when you use your speed to move into position to sit back and pound on things the next turn. *Shrug* time will tell.

Here’s the list. 1575 for an upcoming tournament.
