Cooolin73 1 Posted July 27, 2019 7th Armoured Division Greetings, candidate. Welcome to the Desert. The 7th Armoured Division is a British WW2 Milsim unit. The Rifle Brigade is based on a mechanized carrier platoon, the reconnaissance element of a rifle company. A single section in a carrier platoon sports three carriers with three different crew weapons including the BREN, P.I.A.T and 2-inch mortar. We also have a halftrack section, made up of an assault element and base of fire element, equipped with a Bren team and marksman. The halftrack also sports a M2 Browning Machine Gun for the extra firepower. The unit also includes the 1st Troop from the 5th Royal Tank Regiment, the troop uses A27M Cromwells and the Sherman Firefly. The No. 322 Squadron from the Royal Air Force provides air superiority, close air support and aerial reconnaissance for ground forces. The squadron uses RAF P-39’s, but also carries out bombing missions using the infantry and tankers as gunners! We also have medical and logistical detachments, if you are interested in a non-combat role, as well as roles within the Support Company HQ. Members take part in a campaign that follows the exploits of the real Desert Rats through the deserts of Africa, the mountains of Italy, the hedgerows of France, and the battered ruins of Germany. Casual missions are open to any conflict, and are often made by our members. Recently, we’ve also started a Red Storm Rising campaign on Saturday at 7PM. Structure is important to us, but our goal is to create a camaraderie between our members rather than a rigid command structure. The CO’s door is always open, and while discipline comes first on the battlefield, we do not enforce discipline outside of our missions except in cases of bad behaviour. We hope to see you in the ranks soon!
