Status: offline 		The U.S. 501st Airborne regiment is missing from the campaign game. It also appears the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions are short airborne squads. Or am I missing something.

The 501st Airborne Infantry Regimen was not a seperated Regiment. It was always a part of the 101st Airborne Division.

Wrong,

501 PIR was attached 1 May 1944 to past VE Day. Organic Regiments were 327 & 401 GIR & 502 PIR

I was semi sure that the 501 were Support units allocated to the 101st.

The three battalions of the 501st are attached in the D-Day Scenario

Status: offline 		Thats why I was semi sure, so the 101st has the 501st as organic AND attached!!!

Probably find the other US Airborne Divs carrying an extra Regiment.
