Hey I don't know if my earlier post worked, but here it is again. I'd like to have a set of british paras that would replace the normal brits. I just love how their paras look, and these jumpsuits the defaults wear remind me too much of ghostbusters (even though that movie is kick ass, I just want some bad ass limely paras) Thanks in advance, Rob

bump guys COME ON PLZ

jeds got some on the drawing board... hes probably just converting them so they are compatable to 1.0.

he will probably release within the next week or so..

thats groovey! :) some 1st airborne ones would be nice, (1 with a beret if possible plz) ;)

The brits paras did have different helemets right? (more rounded?)

I saw 8th Airborne, with a John Howard Sergeant Major model:D

indeed. think of a standard bowel. now put it on a guys head. add leaves and a strap. you got a british paratrooper helmet. or somthing close :D.

best representation (imo) of british paratroopers is in the movie 'a bridge too far'. go rent(buy) it. its awsome.

yea I think ive seen a little of that, but I may buy it if I ever get enough for my Garand(that consumes all my money now)

That's Maj. John Howard of the 6th Airborne, who lead the assault on the Orne River Bridge(it was named Pegasus after the insignia of the 6th Airborne patch, on June 7th 1944 I think)

I think British-Airborne in general would make good models, not just paras. and whilst we're on the subject my Grandfather was a captain the the Glider Pilot Regiment and flew into normandy on D-Day (long before any land troops got there) as well as taking part in Operation Market Garden, his landing one him amedal from the airforce, which is strange as the Glider Pilots were all part of the Army :)

btw 2ltben I've been playing DOD since before Beta 1.3 and there are more of my kind around, you are far from the only one as your sig states

I haven't really noticed those "since x.x" sigs since I actually put that in my sig:D
