Good to see a combo-kit, although there are other moving parts in the composition of Monty’s Tac HQ.

Just one note: the figure you identify as Monty’s COS, is, I believe, a representation of the Commander of 2nd Army, General “Bimbo” Dempsey:

Monty, sadly, kept his very able COS - de Guingand - at arms’ length in his Main HQ, and it is to his detriment that he distanced himself from this wise and able Major General, who was well thought of by many, including the US forces; De Guingand’s counsel saved Monty’s bacon more than once; it is, of course, debatable, that if the COS was present at Tac HQ, some of Monty’s excesses may have been curbed, but that is a question for historians other than I - being particularly amateur of course(!) And a COS has no real place at any Tac HQ, his job being to run Main.
