<t>Experience tells, the 1st "Big Red One" probably had as much or more than any other US division. Also don't forget Omaha beach, it was there that the 1st and 29th showed what they were made of.<br/>

<t>The German para's were in 2 or 3 gliders. After they rescued El Duce a Storch landed to take him out. Accounts state that Skorzeny was able to squeeze into the same plane and it was just barely able to fly out with a pilot and 2 passengers. Taking off from a high altitude like that you lose a lot ...

You may want to try - "A Simple Command" It's fairly small and a straight forward infantry fight. Also look at "King of the Hill" It's an infantry company with attached tanks.
