I've read a little about paras in AARs. I assume brigades can be attached to para divs, but can those brigades make airborne assualts?

yes, brigades can be attached.
yes, they can execute airborne assaults with attached brigades.

Then I cant wait to airdrop a German paratroop Division behind Allied lines with an atteched Tiger Battalion! Muhahahahahahaha, cough, cough, wahahahaha! 
Patch Issue?
Then there should be some limitation on tube size (?) for arty, AA, and AT brigades. Even today, the heaviest arty peice that can be airdropped buy the uS is a towed 105mm.
IIRC, the largest arty the US airborne forces had was 75mm in WW2. I don't think they even had towed AT guns and AA couldn't have been much.

Sorry.. Only Artillery, Anti-Tank, Anti-Air, or Engineers...
The air transportable tanks don't come around til the 60's (e.g. AMX-13, or the M-551 Sheridan)

The Tetrarch was a light ( 7,5 tons ) glider transportable tank used by the UK in 44.
Ok, it was not really successful... http://www.wwiivehicles.com/html/britain/tetrarch.html

Paratroopers
How are paratroopers going to be modeled in the game? As we all know they routinely droped behind enemy lines in occupied areas. Is it possible to have airborne units sitting in a province that is occupied?

I stand corrected sir!!!! However, the original post referred to dropping Tiger tanks with the troopers. That would be hard to do in battallion strength let alone a "brigade" even with the aircraft we have today.
I have not had a chance to look at the tech tree yet. Can the Germans invent flubber? I could just bounce those Tigers into combat!
i dont know, but since this game is loosly baised on WiF, ill tell you how it works in that game.
The para units land and give a benifit to the attacker, one odds shift in the bord game, so i think in this game it might be something to do with orginization

Paratroop units are separate divisions. There is no 'small scale', meaning sub-division levels of paratroops.
Drop a paratroop division in an occupied province and it's a battle AFAIK.

That's the way I understand things as well. Not much to be confused about other than the insertion part.

Just add a bit of steel to the resource pool of the province in question and delete the brigade. All it will be good for is scrap no matter how many parachutes you attached
My grandfather was an artillery sergeant with the 82nd Airborne. He went in on a glider a couple of days after the invasion of Normandy.
You're going to need those engy brigades for the invasion of the Low Countries.. anyone else here know about Walter Koch's daring paratrooper raid?
