Hello Dima,
anything on Utah 2? Haven't heard anything about it since your post on the changes in the forcepool (a screenshot on a 17.SS BG too if I remember correctly too). Would love to play this, I've always had something special for the Normandy battles |

Out of curiosity, how far has Utah 2 come? Any chance to glean at the data for the remade american and german paratroopers teams? Could be quite usefull to someone, nudge, nudge, wink, wink |

there was a big difference between US Para teams in June and September, especially in terms of equipment, f.e. BAR was standartized by September while in Normandy it was not authorized but used by 82nd. |

6.FJR had a different organization and equipment either. In Normandy the squad was based on 2 6men teams (IIRC): both with 1 leMG (which was anything from MG.13 to MG.42/FG.42) + 2 MP + 2 Kar. IIRC in Septmber they had 5 men teams (10men squads). |

Yupp, got it covered, even got in the panzerfäuste for the 82:nd. Am I right in that the 101st didn't jump with any BARs in Holland? I know the 82:nd developed a way to jump with BAR, but they didn't pass this technic on to the 101st? |

This I didn't have a clue about, need to do some more research on german squad organization |

The B.A.R. was an effective and devastating weapon and immediately after WW2, the 82nd and 11th Airborne Divisions incorporated them into their TO&Es and devised a method of jumping with them fully-assembled, and strapped alongside the parachutist's leg, muzzle down. |

Can't quote any sources atm, but remember reading that the 82:nd ABs' stock of fausts were mostly used up in the OMG campaign and later restocked from ammunition dumps in Nijmegen.
It can't be that hard to stuff in a faust or two in a drop container? |
