Doc Raider is an unknown quantity at this point
Last year there were at least 30 GIs. Of course as is common with GIs, they were all "special". The FSSF, 101 Airborne, 2nd Rangers, 5th Rangers, etc. We were the only Frggn infantry unit there as the 99th. Plus we were also one of the few allied units there to have been in the bulge. We normally do the 9th division, but switch for authenticity. There was also a British para unit we saw from a distance, if I remember right, but that's right around when we surrendered and were executed! They did change the rules about that this year, but we'll see how the results are. I think it's a similar roster but with a few more GI units.
