    I have just acquired a box of PSC Churchill’s which I’m planning to use for my Eastern Front winter skirmish. I think the Russians used MkIII and MkIV Churchill’s, did they use other marks, variants etc (e.g. AVREs)?

    Just MkIII and MkIV as far as I’m aware. Around 300 were sent of which around 40 were lost en route to German action, IIRC.

    The Russians had their own mine-clearing and flame tanks and who needs an AVRE when you have SU152s?

    There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

    The Engines of the Red Army website http://www.o5m6.de/ForeignArmour.html also lists a few Churchill IIs (a statistic I haven’t seen elsewhere) but otherwise AFAIK it was all Churchill III and IV gun tanks. I reckon they’d have liked a few Crocodiles too!
