Beginners questions

That's interesting, I'll be looking for that. Like I said, I only got it today and took a quick look. I'll start playing it later, against the AI.

There is an AWESOME book on this topic:

Breuer, William, Drop Zone Sicily (1983).

...it is a short paperback, covers US and British Operations and in some case many British units dropped into the Sea. As I recall too - some US Scatter into the sea was used to model the losses when the follow up US Airborne units were fired on my Naval AA as they flew over the fleet.

If you look at the root taken to the DZ in Normandy you will see they never crossed over the fleet after the Sicily experience.

Finally - some info on what and how we modeled the airborne is covered in the designer notes and that is worth a look too I think.
