Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

It is a matter a choice. Guards divisions are usefull now, while airbone divisions a little more usefull, but you have to wait.
Short term VS long term.

I just got the opportunity to create an airbone corps the first turn of 1943 in my current game so here are more details :

So the airbone division is lighter than a guard rifle division, with fewer heavy equipment so the airbone division will not perform very well during the battle phase.
However, due to having more infantry squads, the airbone division will have a higher CV than a guard rifle division.
Also, the guard rifle division have a +10 morale bonus relative to national morale, but the airbone division have +15.

I think a fully trained airbone division will have 25% more combat value (CV) than a fully trained guard rifle division. But will probably cause fewer looses to the ennemy during the combat phase.

It is not so much more powerfull.
