Flames of War British CMP 15cwt Trucks
You could argue that battles are won more by the successful delivery of supplies, men and materials, than by the bravery of men and the quality of their arms. Without fuel, ammunition, supplies and spare parts, almost all armies will grind to a halt and without adequate transport troops will fail to reach an objective before the enemy.
The CMP truck, or Canadian Military Pattern truck, was essential to the Allied victory in North Africa, with the British 8th Army fighting and moving almost exclusively in CMP trucks and the advance through Sicily, Italy and France also on the back of these hardy and well-liked trucks.
Canada produced more than 800,000 trucks and light-wheeled vehicles for the British Empire during WWII, with Canadian factories GM (Chevrolet), Chrysler, and Ford producing the bulk of them. These were then shipped all over the world to the battlefields of the Pacific, North Africa and Europe. In fact, it is regarded by many as one of the greatest contributions of Canada towards winning the war by essentially putting the British and Commonwealth Army ‘on wheels’, and by the end of the war producing one truck for every three soldiers in the British Army.
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS: 2x resin CMP 15 cwt trucks
These miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted
