(DS) Heavy Weapons

John Atkinson,
       Do you have a TO&E for your elite drop regiment w/DFFG/1? Is it
on your site?

Chris Downes-Ward,
Check out "Saving Private Ryan" for an idea of how a 20mm gun would look in
action (the SS bring up a 20mm AA gun on a 2 wheel chassis and start blasting
away with it.As far as ammo for it goes,I am assuming the gun was somehow
towed up,unhooked,then manhandled into firing position.My guess for the tow
vehicle was the halftrack which came around the US right flank towards the
bridge....although it looked more to me like it was full of
panzergrenadiers.Any thoughts on this??????)

Look at the Stratores.  I mispoke--they are nominally
organized into a division but are generally deployed as 4 seperate regiments.
:) When I posted I was thinking Varangians had them as well, but they don't.

Someone - years ago - posted a TO&E for the 121st Marine Reaction
Company,
which IIRC was from the "Fleet" series of stories. These used DFFG/1 as
the support weapon as well.
