Paratroop question

[Greybeard]

Hello Matxer,

IIRC, para's can only be loaded into their aircraft during the deployment phase, or when the scenario is created. If they are set as reinforcements, you have to make sure not only the aircraft are set as r-troops, but all the passengers also.

Once para's are set as r-troops, they will arrive on the approximate assigned turn, and attempt to drop into the assigned LZ. The player will not be able to adjust the location of the LZ, or the turn on which the para's arrive.

If you include the para's as part of the original deployment, you can adjust the turn that they are set to arrive on the bombardment/para menu. Like artillery, the para's LZ location and time can be adjusted further once the game starts...

but I don't think the drop can be cancelled, then re-assigned.. it needs to be adjusted otherwise the para's won't come. You might wish to experiment a little to verify this - I could be wrong.
