Jagman,

The Arty Div is an AD Arty Div.I think 41 AD ARTY or 40 AD ARTY.

The ice-axe is a HAWS graduate,I think.

Re: Defence Expo 2004

Speaking of buggies et al,
AM (isn it?) had a stall offering the Hummer to the IA.
As one Indian 'Panzer Oberst' commented on that-- I can probably get half a regiment of T-72s for the price of one hummer.
