My first army for was a Canadian infantry list. I swore at the time it would be my only army. My Bronze-Green Canucks were soon joined by Germans and many other lists but my love of playing Commonwealth armies has never abated. As Late War started to go under the V4 treatment I eagerly awaited the first dedicated British book and the new British D-Day book that will be released in March has a lot to be excited about. Airborne, Commandos, Canadians, Cromwells and multiple versions of the Churchill will no longer collect dust and now see a table and based on my first impressions of the book they should be a competitive and fun force to play.
