RE: 92 Flieger Regiment Info Needed

Well, don't over-do it, just make sure the Flieger-Regiment has enough "oomph" (stubborness?) to defend against the 319th, and, depending on where you have placed the objectives, that they have the determination to mount a counterattack. The woods favored the Germans, as the 319th had to attack uphill. Just make sure the 92. doesn't turn into an angry battle-hardened SS or Army unit, so tweak carefully. [:)]
Furthermore, I would recommend to put a defend- (or secure-)objective on the hill for the Germans (woods, where the 92. is located on the map above), as that position allows to survey (potential) crossings over the river Meurthe and the river Moselle, plus the right flank of the future bridgehead of the 318th.
Hmm... Well, they will have used (and taken) all available equipment when pulling back from the site around Toul airfield. I could imagine that there were some Flak guns (and SdKfz to pull them), but since they were placed on the hill, they might have passed the equipment to Wehrmacht units (maybe even to the 553.).
Pure speculation, though. They did have mobile AA guns on site most likely (SdKfz 7/2 for example), though. As occupation/site security unit they must have had a certain amount of transportation (trucks, some jeeps) at their disposal, too. In that case the unit would turn into a wheeled unit tho, so if you decide to make the Flakvierling mobile, then you could see if it's possible to have a seperate AA unit (kind of as heavy weapons unit, Vierling, HMG and a sufficient amount of Panzerfaust or Panzerschrecks).
They will have emptied the stacks and motorpools at and around the airfield. Just an idea.

I changed the Sdkfz flak battery to a Flakvierling battery...
