Question about paradrops

[SMK-at-work]

I've not managed to figure out how paradrops purchased after the game start work - I spent the required supply & fuel, I understand that 1 paradrop point allows 1 unit regardless of size, I have air superiority, and I have para units at towns and/or major cities/ports.

but the only paradrops that I seem to get available are for units at their original/deployment hex - whether at the game start or arriving as reinforcements.

is there something I'm missing??

TIA

From Page 19 of the Manual:
"In the Sicily scenario, the Allied airbase is Malta. In the Italian scenarios, the Allied airbase is Messina and then Foggia once captured. Until Foggia is captured, the Allied air force is limited to southern Italy."

I'm assuming based on this you must use Foggia for drops once you've advanced a bit north. I hope this helps you.

Ah - thanks - I hadn't noticed that and it explains my problem
