Australian Tank Attack Platoon – Morris CS9 Self Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun
Yippee the last unit for the competition is finally finished! This Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun (SPAAG) began development in 1941 as a private venture by the Morris-Commercial company.

Australian Tank Attack Platoon – Rifle Detachment (4)
This is the last of the rifle detachments and the penultimate unit I need for the competition tomorrow week. As with the other detachments, I am using the British list which has the rifle detachments armed with a 2″ mortar and Bren Gun. Hopefully in a few hours the last unit will be dry and…
