That is very similar to how I play my paras. The 5 man SMG squads can be pretty fragile, but they can hit hard when they get in range.

The lack of rifles mean that rapid fire is only useful for two squads. Another choice might be a better one.

[Paul Rambridge]

Yeah gotta take care of them small smg squads might change the national characteristic as its is only benefiting the 2 rifle squads

Those little squads are pretty cool to flank with – jumping out on an enemy unit and spraying them with SMG fire at close range 🙂

[Paul Rambridge]

Yeahhh that’s the idea anyway we’ll see if it works backed by a twin mmg Jeep for a long range arm could be quite deadly.

What list do you run with for your paras?
