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'.

Lol, all the fat officers hanging in their chutes [:D]

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.
