The other problem with this would be setting victory conditions.
It would be near impossible.
A 6 SP parachute unit that does not land in a clear hex could lose 1 to 5 SP's or 3 to 15 vp.
A mere 20 6 SP parachute units landing not in clear terrain could yield losses from 20 to 100 SP or 60 to 300 vp.
Keep in mind those are random losses to boot.
Having that much a variable would make for very poor scenarios as the VP would always be off.
Additionally parachuting unit are reiforcements. Reinforcements don't actually show up under your strength totals until they arrive. Also you do not lose points for reinforcements that you elect not to bring into play. So think of it like this. When a 6 SP parachute unit is listed as reinforcement it may actaully only arrive as a 2 SP parachute unit and it is at that point that the 2 SP are added to your overall strength.
Thanx!
