Lt. Brookman Marry me oh banshee of the Highlands. heart I bet you say that to all the girls who utter a few lines of history and have boobs bigger than your brain. emotion_dealwithit
Lt. Brookman It's all nice and well, but you're forgetting about the '42 raid on Dieppe, or maybe you don't know about that one? wink German marines (Garrisons from the coastal towns and naval facilities) saw limited action during that operation as they tried to fend off the rather elite Allied raiding forces in form of the combined might of three commando forces (which included Army Rangers and Free French) and a Canadian infantry division. Okay, the operation was a failure for many reasons, but the forces involved all gained precious experience there. Might be a long shot, but some of the veterans from that force might have ended up in Northern Germany around the end of the war, lending their expertise to their lesser experienced brethren. But that along with Evok's example and the Norwegian situation aside, Germany didn't maintain the same level and quality of marines as other armies, possibly because unlike the other armed forces they were more focused on land battles with a bare minimum of amphibious operations. Plus yes, U-boats were the best option at that point and you can't really shove marines on board of subs. I knew about Dieppe, just didn't think it was all that important. stare
I still think that having them fielded as inexperienced would be more historically accurate. ninja

Lady Blodwynn Lt. Brookman Marry me oh banshee of the Highlands. heart I bet you say that to all the girls who utter a few lines of history and have boobs bigger than your brain. emotion_dealwithit In my defence, you have lovely big eyes..
Lady Blodwynn I knew about Dieppe, just didn't think it was all that important. stare I still think that having them fielded as inexperienced would be more historically accurate. ninja Historically accurate maybe, but will it be any more playable? It's a bit like demanding a Russian player to only field inexperienced forces because that is the modern mindset that seems to prevail these days, whereas the Russian army had become a true and proper professional army over the course of the war.
Besides, when going up against my Yanks, or your Royals, you'd need all the help you can get. wink

For my unit specifically, I'm leaning heavily on the against-all-likelihood idea that several of the units that saw action earlier in the war ended up in this particular division.
