• Right. Got to buy plane first, then the restricted amount of paratroopers.


  • What other use would air transport have then? Transport ships can transport anything whereas transport planes could only transport paratroopers?

    The choices u’d have to make between bombers and paratroopers would add another significant and strategic factor to the game. 1 attack of 4 vs 3 attacks of 2, an extra bit of firepower or would you rather have paratroopers to keep the occupied territorry protected against counterattackts etc. Especially if you implement an airdrop the same way as an SBR (with fighter escorts and all, how many escorts would you add in the SBR and how many would you commit to the actual battle etc etc)

    I think if you play economically and smart, the paratroopers will be reduced as you wont have too many occasions where you’d actually need them. I’m pretty sure the main units on the board will still be infrantry and artillery.


  • Well I think that if you don’t want to restrict the number of paratroopers, I think that you shouldn’t be able to use normal bomber for dropping purposes, and will need a special “no bombing” bomber, that is bought only for the purpose of carrying paratroopers.


  • Each Bomber can transport up to 2 infrantry (of any type) from any territory during non-combat move. 6 spaces. Then can’t be used in any other duty.

    Each Bomber can transport up to 2 Paratroopers only 2 territorys from a friendly territory during combat move. Paratroopers and Bombers must start in the same territory. Bomber cannot perform any other duties during that turn.

    You could make it were you have to buy Air Transport Bombers to perform these duties for non-combat or combat or both.


  • I like that, the distinction between carrying normal and paratroopers. It is true that a plane could just take normal guy, land and have them get out of the plane. It requires more training to jump out of the said plane, whilst shooting your Thompson sub machine gun and smoking a cigar…

    You can used air transport to move infantry during non combat move.
    You be able to use bomber for the job it must do…bombing not drop paratroopers!


  • I’m with ya Crusaderi. Air Transports only carry infrantry.


  • I’m just gonna stick with bombers carrying only paratroopers during combat-move fase. I think this won’t change the game too much and keep it as balanced as it is now. I’m afraid if we’ll add planes that can move 6 spaces and land infrantries they could be defending leningrad one turn, cairo the next, gibraltar on the 3rd and cairo on the 4th again. Wich is really not the point imho.

    No because air transport = range of 4. After the air transport (AT) drop the paratroopers, AT must land on an allies territory.
    AT cannot land on enemy territory.


  • These rules are not to strong for my 12 die game do to Russia starting with 75 inf. and Germany with 59. If these rules pertain to like a Global 40 game then ya I go with Crusaderi’s rule. But you still got to buy Air Transport plane first. Maybe 2 inf ??? in non-combat only. Please don’t yell at me Crusaderi.  LOL


  • Please don’t yell at me Crusaderi. � LOL
    ya what!!! :? :-( :-( :-( :-( :x :x :x :x :x :x :x
