If you really intend to try to capture Market-Garden the drop troops should
not have heavy weapons or any transport- historically they Allied paratroops
were not able to deal with the German armor, and one of the other
weaknesses of paratroops were their lack of mobiltiy once they landed. I am
presuming you will have the SM/IG be the attackers - who will be the
defenders???
