Paradrops and HQs

[mtvaill]

Is there any way I can set the game to allow HQs to paradrop? I am aware that there are other ways to accomplish what I ultimately want to do, but my first choice is to allow HQs to be paradropped, so please tell me if this is possible and how I can do it if it is.

Appartently not. I went in and gave the staff of a hq para capability. I tried to drop them in a test, and I received message that only non hq unit could be para. You might be able to make para capable staff Place them in a non hq unit, and then create a hq after they drop. Just an idea. Don't know what good that would do.

Yeah, I tried setting Staff to paradroppable too.  Other than conjuring some amusing mental images, it didn't work for me either.  Guess I'll have to resort to plan 'B'.

You can make a special subformation that has staff functions and can para drop. Put them in a normal unit drop them where you want, then make the headquarters unit.
