Paratroopers help needed

Post by ncc1701e »

Can someone explain me what I am doing wrong? This paratrooper corps shows 100% of Effectiveness. I have two Air transports. The weather is clear everywhere.

Why I do not have the option to perform a paradrop on Malta or on its beach?

Thanks

Can you drop on an ocuupied hex? Beach isn't really a hex in that you can only enter it when doing an invasion. Your paras would drown.................

From what I understand, you need to land on the beach first (from landing ships), destroy the garrison and then airdrop on an empty hex...

Even with 100% effectiveness, I have spent two supply trucks for nothing... [:D]

guggy has correctly described what you have to do. I'm sure Alvaro or someone showed how to do it that way in an earlier thread

Send those paras to Crete where they can sit out the rest of the war in relative comfort and peace! [:D]

You can't drop para's on a beach. Only on land that is empty.

Malta you invade. yes yes I know why can't you paradrop on a land unit. Well I didn't think about it when I made 1 counter per hex.

WarPlan 2 will have this feature.

Oh yeah, now that you ask, why didn't you think about it?
