Both the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army had paratroopers in WWII and they did see combat in small numbers a few times during the war. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

One of those units that you can add to a "vanilla" army to make it more interesting.

79th, yes but they are useful and did participate in combat several times. ZP, I very much enjoy doing that with my troops. Quite So, MM. Bunkermeister |

Certainly. My comment was in reference to the limited number of manufactuers that make these troops available for purchase. |
