1500 Point British Rifle Company
The British have fantastic artillery. They can use their 8 gun rule to completely destroy enemy positions and force any opponent to be wary about digging in for an extended period of time. With these guns as a backbone, this Afrika infantry list is tough as nails.

This army takes those 8 guns, and gives them enough firepower to protect them. The HMG teams will put up a fierce volly of fire against any enemy that gets close. The Tank platoon is there to support the infantry with smoke, This lets the artillery focus on killing things rather than blinding them.
You have enough anti tank between the piats, anti tank platoon and the tanks to put up a good fight, and they are spread across a variety of troop types. This means that even if your opponent can take out all your tanks easily, it isn’t going to cripple you since you have AT in other places as well.
This is a pretty basic army with no bells or whistles and can be used as a great starting point for a british infantry force.
