One of the books I got over Christmas was the Osprey Armies of the Greek-Italian War. 

Normally I like my WWII forces to be about a squadron of armour with a company of infantry. I already have the Italians, but the Greeks ... well they weren't much in the armour stakes. However, a paragraph caught my eye.

"A Mechanised Division was established ... of 3 regiments (each of 1 lorry-borne infantry regiment(??(, 9 x Italian light tanks, 25 British tracked carriers, one artillery battalion, one AT company and one AA company." 

Apparently the Greeks also ordered (but never received) 14 Vickers 6 tonners. They also bought 24 88mm AA guns.

So, if the Greeks had got what they had planned, I could have a squadron of Vickers 6 tonners, with some L3 tankettes and Bren carriers in support. The infantry could (ironically) be proxied by the Italian infantry.

Best of all, I could chuck in a couple of 88mm guns for fun and frolic.

When we finally did presents on the 27th I got a load of books (mostly history), a Fall of Rome board game (quite good when we played it the other day) a box of 28mm skeletons and a Wings of Glory (so 1/144) Handley Page 0/400.
