The US AB troops have green uniforms in this game. Aren't they supposed to have brown ones like in TLD?
And what kind of uniforms did the US glider infantry wear?

M1943 uniforms were issued after Normandy Camp. when troops returned to England. They were the norm for US AB troops, but there were exceptions.

Correct!
As for the exceptions...the 504th PIR jumped into Holland wearing the old issue brown M42 jumpsuits.
As for GIR troops...they wore the same uniforms as Army troops in Normandy...and M43 uniforms in Market Garden.

So LSA is spot on about the AB uniforms (well, maybe a tiny mod is needed for the 504th PIR
