Hi

My First Airborne Drops At the Beginning to Husky went OK

I set up the 82 to Paradrop into Italy Proper and when I try to do it I get a message saying no Transports Available

What am I doing Wrong?

Gary

From Sicily to Tarento?

Is their a Size Limitation on the Airfield that the Paradrop leaves from?

Ah yes - but where are the air groups providing the aircraft to move the unit - are they still in North Africa?

Yes. Planes and paratroopers have to start in same hex.

It is best if they start in the same hex as they don't have to travel to pick up the unit.

Ah..... So they can travel to pick up.... which then reduces range from pick up to drop I presume.
