OK, I stand corrected there; it was the original vanilla AP projectile that weighed 6 lb. I had thought that 6pdrs started out with APCBC because they were introduced after Fritz had started case-hardening his armour. There are other figures there, such a APDS shot weight, where I've seen different numbers - but my excuse is that books are still in storage...
Yes, I agree Crusader was an omission. nothing looked more impressive with sand pouring from its tracks, bounding across the desert. Fritz appears to have thought more of it than our own chaps did.
