50 (Northumbrian) Division

Following a request from Sun of York (http://onesidedminiaturewargamingdiscourse.blogspot.com/2011/04/50th-northumbrian-infantry-division.html) for photos of a Megablitz British Infantry Division, I dug out 50 Northumbrian Division, as it is the same unit he is building.  My version of 50 Div was assembled some years ago and has been used in a number of games.  It is fairly typical of my older late war British Infantry Divisions - cheap!

The labelled box file.  The label on the right is one of a few I picked up at a museum in Normandy in 2005.

One of the three infantry brigades.  Figures by FAA with a good old Airfix Matador.

The infantry brigade in 'travel' mode.  This is the best of the Matadors in the division - the only one I didn't have to rebuild from near-scrap.

All three infantry brigades.

One of the two (Airfix) field artillery regiments.  I know there should be 3, but I find that representing them as two (with added strength points) is enough.  And cheaper.

The AT regiment - FAA gunners with Airfix 6-pdr and Matchbox Morris C8.

The RE Detachment and MG Battalion.  Airfix Carriers and FAA MMG crew.

The recce regiment - Humber armoured cars and Daimler scout car - all by Matchbox.

Divisional LOG - AEC Monarch lorry and HQ - Roco Dodge and FAA figure.

The division in it's box file.  25 stands by 5 manufacturers.
