British Artillery Site

[tar]

Apologies if this is already well-known, but I recently saw mention of an extensive site about WWII British artillery:

WWII British Artillery (http://members.tripod.com/~nigelef/index.htm)

I saw this on the Consimworld Gamers TCS board. It was cited in connection with a discussion about the use of smoke during WWII. British doctrine seemed to call for a fair amount of smoke coverage, although some posters seemed to feel that the use of smoke was often controlled at division level.

Anyway, I thought the site might be interesting to CMBO players.

Nigel Evans has put together a truly impressive site, which has just gotten better over the last couple of years.
