How to do Paradrop

Post by rev rico »

I cannot get a paradrop to work.

Paradrop: Att Fly to Target

Ju52 in same hex as Para Corps
Land op
Air missions left
in supply
I cannot see any reason why it cannot happen

Using FLYOUT I select the ATR and the PARA but an X appears anywhere I try to drop them ... plus the alert says the ATR isn't loaded

How do you do this?

Thanks!

Rclick "Load.." during fly to target.

Hi Rev


Do not like to see you are having a problem.

Went back to Barbarossa to test paradrops, which I have not done for awhile.
Sometimes when a change is made in netplay it effects other phases.

I loaded the Ju52 with the 4/3 paras and moved it to hexes that I could attack, there was no problem. The Ju52 can only paradrop hexes with in its movement range which is 5 hexes in the scenario.

I can land the paras in the 2 Russian controlled hexes with marshes in the hexes northeast of the paras 4 hexes and 5 hexes away NP. The paras can also reach the 3 Russian controlled hexes southeast, 2 hexes are marshes and 1 is wooded. NP

I cannot land in any German controlled hex and I cannot land in any hex over 5 hexes also I cannot drop in storms, here it is just rain.

I tried loading the unit both ways by flyout and by bringing the transport to the top of the hex and loaded both ways no problem. Is there something I am missing here. I hope to clear this up for you. Is this solitaire or net play?

Bo

Yes, that's what you are missing.

Right click on the Juncker, load the Para and fly away...

If this doesn't do the trick, there's something wrong (but I doubt this, since I just tried it myself).

Hmm I guess I assumed you gentlemen were doing just that right clicking on the Ju 52 and clicking load.
