when placing paratroop's are they all placed at the same time, or can i keep some in reserve to use on later turns?.
same question again regarding reinforcement paratroop's.

Each is an individual unit so you can "drop" them in whenever you want according to their deployment rules. My experience though is that a piece meal delivery gets them chopped up.  I prefer to put them in early and in force so that they have a chance of holding out.

alright, thank's, i was'nt sure because i was playing a game recently and had paratroops, starting and in reinforcements.
it was a three objective game, i claimed and held 1 objective and conquered and held the second, my opponent started shoving units forward and left the objective he held guarded with only one unit, i had already deployed my reinforcements, including paratroop reinforcements, i deployed them straight away, because i was'nt sure of the rule.
anyway i dropped down my one remaining paratrooper, which i held from the start of the game, beside a forest about 2 hexes from the final objective, i managed to hold out on the other 2 objectives, and scramble to the last before my opponent could regroup.
i think the paratroops add a great element to the game, always keeping players guessing and moving until they are deployed.
