German amphibious invasion

Why can I not get German tanks, infantry, paratroopers, malitia, anything to capture Sri Lanka or Mandigascar? For that matter, I can't seem to get Germany to invade Canada or the U.S.? It always tells me that the move is illegal. Is this a bug or what?

I bought the game and have yet to be able to successfully get the Germans off my transports to invade England (Sea Lion) as they just won't leave the transports (which also happens when trying to get the Italians off the transports in Afrika proper (i.e., below the deserts of N. Afrika). I see the Allies kicking the Italians out of there but my axis won't levae the ships after passing the Suez canal to retake the lost colony. They will in the Med and the rest of Europe but not here.

Also encountered the same thing when I tried to air assult Afrika with my Fallscrimjagers across the Afrikan desert to get to the undefended main part of Afrika. They will drop in Europe and N. Afrika but refuse to leave the palne in Afrika proper.

I showed this to your rep at GenCon and he encountered the same problems as me. The Axis refuse to ofload to these sites or land (if the territory is defended defended or not). No idea why they will elsewhere but not here.

Two posts up! very different transport rules than regular a&a. you don't load the inf on ships you use the ships as I kinda supply/movement conduit. read the thread linked in the quote. As for para-drops it is probably a range thing. only 2 space range to drop para unit.

Actually the paratroops are limited by hvy Bomber range(speed). They(bombers) need to make a round trip, so half their range is applicable for dropping paratroops. If their speed(range) is 5 then the fraction is rounded up, 3 movement allowance for the drop.
