Hello Guy's! I heard a Rumor about not getting, the Ambulance and Stretcher Team, for the 8th Army in N. Africa Sets, due in April 2006; but it will be given to us Collector's, when Andy does the British Army in Europe! Also, a 6-Pounder Gun Team, and a Bedford Troop Transport Truck? Hopefully, we get MONTY"s Staff Car, a SHERMAN ( Firefly), a ( CROMWELL Tank), and a SEXTANT ( M-7) Priest British Version, S.P.!

John,

Hadn't heard that one. What I had heard (and posted) was that the Stuart we were going to get was going to be for Europe, not North Africa. Could that be it?

Hello Brad! I can't reveal the source of those Rumor's; but I got them from a Personal Closest Friend of Andy's! And your also right , about the Stuart Tank, he will be doing that also , for Europe!

Hello John. I hope you're wrong but I guess we'll find out soon when Andy makes the announcement.

I must say i wouldn't mind an ambulance for either scenario,can't get enough Normandy/8th army stuff.Would also like to see a British mortar team in action in the Bocage.

Minor Trivia: the proper name isn't "Sextant", it's "Sexton", that was a UK 25-pounder on a Sherman-derived chassis, similar but not the same as the M7 "Priest", which was a US 105mm howitzer on an M3 "Lee" chassis. Either are very interesting vehicles.
