The card that allows Operation Stösser, which was the paradrop of von der Heydte's 18th Fallschirmjäger Regiment, has a problem. I can't drop them at night. The actually drop occurred at night but the card doesn't allow a night drop.

I have noticed that sometimes the paratroop drop doesn't occur even during daylight hours. The card is returned the next turn and I can replay the card. I assumed there is a percentage chance of the paratroop troop actually occurring. That is an assumption though.

I was looking in the wrong place the card is there, but the problem you mention I'll have to check out.

Wasnt the drop delayed at least one night because the trucks didnt have enough gas to get the Fallschirmjager to the airfield?
