For those of you unaware of this British Army equipment losses breakdown post-Dunkirk, 1940, and those VBCW gamers who like a more strategic approach to the game (me!), this interesting research by David Boyd (2009) may be of interest. For me, it places a 'cap' on the total amount of military hardware available earlier during VBCW. link Lost Stock 6th June % Lost

Interesting reading, thanks for posting.
I have pictures taken by my mothers first husband, an RAF pilot who somehow managed to hitch a ride on a DE during the evacuation.
There's pictures of an empty ship, it alongside the concrete maul loading troops and the ship returning packed with soldiers firing an AA gun.
The troops only had small arms on them, nothing else. |
