Lovely review of the troops.

A question if I may ask,
"When did the Brits start using motor transport to move
artillery and Infantry?"

Now Randy, you are confusing me with someone who is remotely interested in historical accuracy, I’m what you might describe as a Hollywood wargamer mate 😂

Gareth,
You and I are in the same boat.
It's Hollywood all the way, button counters be damn.

I purchased some Colonial British awhile ago.
The reason, the Model As or ts.
Soo... cool, had to have them.
My early version of the Rat Patrol.

As I have got older, the Hollywood approach is even more appealing to me, simply on the basis that it’s what most people find the most relatable.

Those Brits are superb

Lovely Brits Raglan! I can be a real history nerd and button counter sometimes but I've spent too many years chasing the perfect. Now I'm increasingly inclined to go more for having some nice figures on the table, and to let the small historical issues slide. Of course what is a small historical issue is quite subjective.

The Dervish War 1900–20 - Beja Tribal Group. Each tribe is led by a mounted Emir (tribal leader) and contains two native war bands. A war band is comprised of a Sheikh (leader) and 24 warriors. There are 4 Beja Tribes in the collection.

Gareth,
Really like your war bands.
What rules are you planning to play, using them?

Model Ts and As and AA trucks wound up damn near everywhere in the world anyway.

They certainly used them to move both in the Third Afghan War in 1919, so easily canon for BoB I'd have thought
