New army thoughts after Small Tactics IV

 I still need to write up my 3rd battle report for, but of course I've been spending a lot of time adjusting my 1100 point army list following it.

Having two "task forces/platoons" of a veteran infantry in a large squad, a small LMG support squad, platoon commander and a Matilda II did work well.  I would like a platoon commander for each with a medic, but also want some sort of HE rounds for enemy in buildings and cover, a FO to get the enemy pinned down or provide smoke cover, and a reserve able to take objectives.

I liked the small Light tank Vickers VIc, but it can't take objective's on it's own. if I has 1250 points I'd get one. 

The medic only got 1 save each game, but for the first two games, it allowed me to keep control of an objective! So he was well worth it.

I was very impressed by the trucks that would come in with a squad of SMG infantry to ruin my day, and want one. I can get a Long Rang Desert Group, but can't get a platoon commander for them to be able to snap to and all jump out of a truck if I want a platoon commander with each task force. So I'll put them in a Bren Gun Carrier, which has light armour and can still shoot after they get out. it's not a squad big enough to take a defended objective on their own, but must be used to attack or support another unit.

 Alternative:

OR, drop the engineers, mortars and FO, get a truck for the LRDG squad, and get a 25 pounder + tow with a platoon commander for the LRDG and upskill the other platoon commanders. I feel like this would be a more interesting army to play. I could put the 25 pounder on a corner to block enemy trucks coming on, and still use it with it's spotter to hit enemy infantry in buildings.
