Also, assuming the cruiser initiates combat and the defending subs remain, don’t forget that the defending subs get to shoot first even though they are defending. That means the cruiser might not even get to shoot at all…

I don’t have the rulebook on me, but could someone please explain how the Paratrooper tech works. I believe it launches infantry from airbases, but how many spaces can they launch, and how many can be launched per airbase?
Up to 2 inf per territory with an airbase can be sent to assist a land/amphib assault within 3 spaces of said airbase. There is no limit to how many airbases may do this, but they all have a range of 3 spaces. It is also important to note that the paratroopers are subject to AA fire as if they were aircraft.
Also, when moving, paratroopers must obey the same movement restrictions that air units do.
They can’t land in newly captured territories?
Paratroopers don’t move in noncombat movement.
