*> 217) Sherman V - removed - the Belgians didn't use tanks. However, we've made available British Shermans, which were occasionally supporting Belgian brigade.

>>218) Humber AC MkI (Humber Mk II): arm=3/2/1/2/2/2 (3/2/1/3/2/2); wea1=#130_7.9mm_Besa (0); d=101/43 (70/99) (it represent also the same earlier Guy AC MkIA cars)

!219) Ford/M-H 91Y instead of Daimler AC MkI	- the Cavalry armoured tractor for 47mm guns, Ford/Marmon-Herrington 91Y, looked like a Scout Car rather. Daimler was removed by mistake, now it's 215.

>>220) Univers.Carrier (Bren Carrier)	: removed Boys ATR; cst=4(6)

>>221) 15cwt truck (1.5t truck)	: pic=597(667); sp=17(12); +pistol
>>222) 2.5t truck: 	pic=667(406); sp=15(10); +pistol
>->223) 2 pdr gun	: added front armour=1
>->224) 6 pdr gun	: added front armour=1
>->225) 25 pdr gun	: added front armour=1
*->226) 40mm AA-gun - removed - the Belgians didn't use 40mm guns in Piron Brigade.
>->227) 3in Mortar	: added "second barrel"
>->228) 4.2in Mort.	: sp=0(2); added "second barrel"
230) BE Hvy Wpns Sqd:	d2=63(99)
231) BE Infantry  : d2=99(63)
232) BE Hvy Wpns Sqd instead of BE Infantry - rearrangement of infantry platoon, just as the British one.

>234) BE Infantry AT	- d1=10(70) - there were some Boys ATR in Belgian Army in 1940.

*237) Bunker	- removed. I don't think the Belgians really need a bunker after 1940.

added:
22)  Battle	- bomber of 1940, 18 bought in GB
199) T.15	- light tank, used in Cavlry units (Carden-Loyd 4-ton)
238) Humber AC MkIV
[*239) Staghound MkI	- suspended]
>>240) White Scout Car	- some (M2A1) used in 1941 in Belgian Congo in Groupe de Chasseurs Motorises. Some (M3) used in 1944.
