IS2m -> Airborne SNLF Bn's (7/11/2007 9:12:07 PM) Hello all In stock witp and Nikmod, the Japanese have three SNLF battalions that are airborne. IIRC they are Yosuka 1st, 2nd, and 3rd SNLF Bn's. Does anyone know if these units had airborne capabilities in real life, or if there are any historical examples of these units being used in an airborne assault? Thanx again.

spence -> RE: Airborne SNLF Bn's (7/12/2007 3:32:47 AM) Formed just before the war? The officers (only) went to "Army School"? First practice jump in Oct 41? Somehow the battle hardened veterans of WitP with 90 experience seem a bit over the top.
