Bring on the Brits.

After running against my 'left field' British Attach list several times now, for two loses and a win (which I was lucky to get),I thought I would put it up to see what everyone thinks.

OK, so there's no big antitank guns, but you can add them in an option A or B.
another option would be to ditch 2 stands for an AGC and buy 3 Typhoons as an option A.

I'm not sure if you could knock out a decent defend list along these lines, possibly with 2 large battalions (with AT guns as well) and a 3rd small battalion in support with only 2 artillery regiments.
Feel free to have a go with this and see what you results are, and Axis players, try to come up with ways of beating it.....
