what do these equate to in BKC, looking at the the airborne packs [German Paras,British Airborne,D-Day American Paras Army Packs].

What do they work out as, a battalion, regiment etc and is any support included with the packs

thanks in advance

The packs were for BKC1 so are a little out of date but are scheduled to be re-packaged to the new rules at some stage.

Pop over to the PD Forum - Leon and Dave are pretty quick at responding to questions!

The pack contents are listed on their website, so you can see exactly what you are getting. Normally there are HMGs and 3"/81mm mortars included in the packs.

For my Fallschirmjager I added in some extra MG42s and Mortars so that I could make up two battalions and an engineer battalion from the £16 pack. Hope this helps.

I know what the pack contents are, what I want to know is what the pack equates to a battalion or regiment etc

Depends on how you base your troops for example?
I play at one stand = a platoon and only base one HMG or Mortar to a stand and 4 infantry to a platoon stand (yeah I know - what a skinflint )
Should then be easy given the packs listings to work out what they add up to.

Roughly a battalion if playing at platoon scale, hence BKC12 German Infantry Battalion for example

The airborne Army Packs are generic rather than BKC specific (either edition) Looking at the Brit pack you should have enough figures for a brigade including mortars and HMG's at the platoon scale.
