Parachute question

[jcrohio]

Used German paratroopers through the French campaign. Now in Russia they will not drop. Have all the requirements (air transport, 100% efficiency, not next to enemy unit). Only thing I can think of is that I did give them the Tank Destroyer Specialty after the battle in France. Could this be doing it?

Thanks for any help

What are the weather conditions?
Heavy rain or snow maybe?

I forgot to add when Paratoopers can drop in the manual. I believe it is clear, rain, or snow. Whenever air can fly

Just checked. The weather is clear. Can send you a save if that would help. Again only thing that I can see different is attaching a Specialist to the parachute unit.

Sure I will PM you. Just let me know where the Para is and I will test it.

Ok I checked... it is CLEAR weather only. I added a note to include it in the game manual.

Alvaro answered my problem in another post. I was trying to drop in friendly territory which is not possible. Also, though not a factor here, it has to be clear weather.

Hi

I am trying to wrap my head around paratroop operations but I am at a loss...[&:]

Situation: testing game axis vs AI. July 1940, still fighting France...

1st Fallschirmjaeger is sitting in Antwerp. Supplied, 100% effectiveness. Weather clear. I have 3 idle air transports. The only way I have to move the paratroopers is by land or by ship...

How to drop them ? Certainly I am doing something wrong...

Any help appreciated.

Game started with latest patch

They can only drop into enemy territory within 8 hexes.

Just select them and hover over an enemy territory

Thanks, that was the reason !
