Hi - Thinking we might do 7th Armd Div when our campaign is Market Garden. Just requires a patch change! Thoughts?

The 746th TB was independent.  Can't find any other information on the 740th other than they were studs during the BotB.  

Also the 7th and 9th AD's lent us support.

Many of the attached armor units would have worn the generic armored forces SSI. Might be a better uniform option.

was there any engineer attached to these guys ?

Adam, B/307 AEB was permanently attached to the 505 RCT as combat engineer support. (along with 307 AMC and 458 AFAB).
