There is some other information I require as regards my Realism mod for Spearhead.
Does anyone know the weight (approximately) of equipment carried by infantrymen/paratroops during WWII. Some of the books I've looked give a nice breakdown of equipment, but no weights. This should be based on a standard (ish) loadout, incorparating weapon, ammo, webbing/belts, grenades, and possibly backpack. This information will be used to adjust the movement speeds. I know paratroops jumped with an excess equipment than they actually carried into battle, so it would need to be battle ready rather than pre, or post jump.
Thank you again for any help received, in advance.
Any information can be posted here, or e-mailed to me at m.walpole67@btinternet.com
