First, I think they need to add actual infantry graphics for the infantry. Maybe Soviet troops for the M3, 251, and jeep; British paras for the airborne via C47; and US marines for the LVT2. I still chuckle when I see a bunch of pilots floating out the back of an M3 with pistols outstretched heading towards the MR.
Secondly, there are a whole host of troop/MR/capture dynamics that could be added to the game to spice things up. Perhaps allow more troops to be carried by the C47 and fewer to be carried by the M3/251? Perhaps not allow troops and cargo to be dropped when the C47 on the ground while upping their troop/cargo ability (I still dont understand landing a goon to let them step out vs dropping troops [I do, but still], thats kinda gaming the game, yes?) Perhaps there is a way to vary the number of troops it takes to capture/destroy the MR? Perhaps vary the speed in which the troops run? Maybe make the troops stronger so a single .30cal wont kill them?
There are lots of things that could be changed up to make the troop aspect of the game more dynamic.
