Konflikt 47 B for Bertie British Automated Infantry Hero

Built at the English Electric Works in Preston, “B for Bertie” came off the line like any other Mk I automaton. It was during its first deployment as part of Operation Cavalier near Antwerp, Belgium, that it could be said Bertie was truly born.

On 9 June 1946, a contingent of Axis heavy Panzermechs ambushed Bertie’s formation. In the chaos of battle, Bertie was lost from the sight of its human charges, and when the Axis withdrew the unit was presumed KIA - but Bertie had not vanished.

Low on power, it dragged itself back to the battlefield only to find its detachment long gone. Rather than simply wither away, its primitive automated system adapted: Bertie looted fallen automatons, replaced its defunct leg, gathered power cells along with ammunition and weapons - and set off on a new odyssey.
