In the paper "Finite complexes and integral representations" [Illinois Journal of Math, 26, (1982), p 442] an exact sequence relating homotopy types of (G, d)-complexes with objects of integral representation theory together with some known calculations seemed to imply that the group of homotopy types of (G, d)- complexes was always a subquotient of (ℤ|g|)*. This paper gives a new characterization of one of the terms of the above sequence that allows one to conclude that this is not generally true.
