Questions About British Para Battalion ToE
Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2008 5:48 pm
I have been trying to determine what would be the most accurate depiction of a late 1942 British parachute battalion for a long campaign.
In general, under troop choices for your unit core, a battalion would consist of 3 para co's, each with a single attached inf at rifle team, and a seperate attached para section with a pair of LMG teams. Each para section also has imbedded 2 inch mortars used as direct fire weapons.
Would there be any other units to include to represent a "typical" para battalion beyond this?
