Does anywone know if there is a way to paradrop an HQ?

My basic strategey for paratroopers is to make an Airborne division, with it's own HQ unit, and 3-5 Paratroop regiments of 20 paras each. Then I drop them in a rough semi-circle around the rear-area of the front i will be attacking, to cause supply disruption and if im lucky ambush some enemy HQs. The problem is, i cant bring the divisions HQ with them, so often my HQ power is low, and i dont get the bonus.

Is there anyway to do this, or is this just an abstraction of the communication problems in an airborne drop?

[Barthheart]

No way to drop HQ's.

I've asked for this a couple times, hopefully this ability will sneak into an upcoming patch.  Probably not a high development priority though, but we can keep hoping.

I do not know why u could not have a para capable hq, but the unit if behind lines would only give supplies based on airlifted ones

[mtvaill]

Because the engine is hard coded to not allow it.  Supplies can be airlifted or delivered by event code.
