I think it's reasonable to assume that for this venture all the stops would be pulled out, so weapons which didn't see
active service until Crete but which were in development or pre-production, would be pushed into use. The inability to
paradrop large items was dictated more by the fact that most items would have to be manouvred out of the restricted
doorway of a Ju52: the weight was not generally the problem (provided the aircraft could lift it!) as they could and
were adept at either using multiple parachutes on a single item, or breaking the item up and constructing it when it
landed (here's hoping for a tight drop then!!).
The items in the Support lists which are shown in brackets are not available for initial paratroop drops only.
For later scenarios/tied in to a campaign, those items marked with A/L are available only if there is an airfield that
they could be brought into. And again tied in to scenarios/campaign, those marked with GF are only available if there
is actually ground force support in the vicinity.
Please ignore the numbers in brackets after some of the support items.
