The 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, dropping feet first into Normandy and holding off German attacks at the front line in the Battle of the Bulge.

The 1st Parachute Rifle Regiment of the 7th Air Division, capturing Belgium quick and fast, widely considered to be the elite infantry units of the German military during WWII.

Background Information: Both units were paratrooper units in World War 2, both were highly trained and considered to be among the best of their kind. The battle is to take place at a town in central France. The Germans will be defending the town, while the Americans are trying to take it from them. It is more or less based on their real experiences at the Battle of the Bulge, so the Americans will recieve no artillery or air support. I'm not sure if things are done like this here, but I'm not gonna do a fixed number of people K.O. fest. I understand that this place is more character-based, but being deadly doesn't mean you have to kill everybody, although admittingly most of them will. Mostly I don't want to just do a 5v5 battle, which to be honest, seems kinda awkard in the real world. So there's gonna be a lot more people but I'll focus on a few. My first battle so please be kind. If you can't decide your vote, be noted that in real life the Americans won, but the German defenders were not part of the 7th Air Division.
