6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment

[Scottfitzz]

So its fairly certian that the British 6th Airborne Division will be featured ingame as it was the only British Airborne DIvision to see action in the Normandy Landings, at the time it consited of Two Parachute Brigades and the 6th Airlanding Brigade (Airlanding is the British term for Glider Infantry) and various support Arms of Pack Howtizers and other such things.

6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment was Equipped with Light Tank Mk VII Tetrarch's however, During August they was Replaced with Cromwell Cruiser Tanks. So ingame will we have the option to bring Cromwells with the 6th Airborne Division?

I was going to ask the same thing ^^

On a side note, i would like to add 2 questions if you dont mind as they also relate to this unit

1. Will the Tetrarchs be given littlejohns to give them at least a fighting chance against the germans?
2. Will some of the tetrarchs come with 3 inch howitzers to give HE fire support?

I think it depends on the stage or phase from the game. Maybe in early phase, you deploy Tetrach, middle you get the little john adapter and later the Cromwells. Maybe that is possible?

The 6th airborne will be in as we saw a picture of tetrarch tanks on the Pegasus bridge.

I guess that for the sake of variety and in order to give the 6th division more fire support they will add the 76mm CS variant (which was used in Normandy IIRC) and the Littlejohn variant with better AP. Idk about the Cromwell but it would be logical to add them as they were used in Normandy.

They were and they will.

Nice. Will we be able to paradrop units or send dive planes or is this too strategic to use such assets?
