 Coming on nicely GSM, looking forward to seeing them finished up.

LvK, there are no rules (as far as I know) for airborne troops "parachuting" in. They start on the board as if they are already landed. Although perhaps someunits can be held in reserve, but not sure.

 I think there might be some rules for glider assaults if not paras either in the d-1 book or on the FoW website. I'll see if I can find them at some point.

 Yeah the Turning the Tide book (which replaced Bloody Omaha, D-1 etc) has both British and American glider infantry lists in them. Not sure if they can enter the game as if they have just landed in their gliders. Though you can get glider models, so perhaps you can. They are very light lists though as the idea is that all their kit is landed in gliders. But they do get the usual Corps support of tanks etc.

 D-1 has rules for airborne, although for some reason it was cut out of the compilation D-Day books. It is however available as a .pdf on the Battlefront website: http://www.flamesofwar.com/Portals/0/Documents/Scenarios/Seize&Hold.pdf

I haven't used them myself, but plan to in my on-going quest to re-create Pegasus Bridge


The Yanks are looking good GSM, I've always been tempted to do a 101st force myself (due to Band of Brothers) - but I'd be risking my inner geek taking over and trying to organize and name all the men from the series!

 Rules for airborne landings can also be found in Das Book, along with amphibious landings and apocalypse style 'total war' games. Isn't it about time we had some more updates GSM? :)

 Looking really good. Echoing the question: "What's next for them?"

And are you going to do a gaming board for them btw?

 The Plastic soldier Company T-34s were mentioned early. I have a few under construction myself. Size wise they compare well with the Battlefront and Skytrex versions. I also bought some of their infantry with little planning you can manage an Infantry company with the contents just need to base them.
I have posted photos of the sprues each box contains 5 identical sprues
