Hmm? Royal Marine Commandos were all over Normandy. So were several 
other Commando units that the British trained (Free French for 
example) on the Eastern Edge of the British Beaches. Additionally, 
wouldn't the Rangers that assaulted Pont du Hoc be considered 
commandos?

Frankly I always found that units with a D12 quality die, had to be 
killed to a man in order to break their morale. They just fail far 
too little (unless you've got realyl really bad dice karma).
