Default 50's and 30's

Major Del Struck (MC) started the war as a Sgt in the HLIofC. He went CANLOAN and ended up in 10th Bn HLI with a carrier pl.

He advised me that all of his carriers had 2 30.s each, supposedly scrounged from abandoned US tanks. (most likely veh delivered as replacements and not picked up yet, or from a veh cas collection point)

Regardless, it crossed my mind that ammo supply would be a problem as >30 belted would not normally be in the Brit supply line for an infantry unit.

"Easy" he said "the Yanks had ammo - we had rum."
