ORIGINAL: Froonp I can ask to the rule clarification group too if needed. Edit : Well, I have asked. I also asked the WiF Discussion list. I asked the list, and got a couple of answers. I asked this : quote:
There is a question that pops up on the MWiF Forum : This is about Option 35, when it is NOT used, and about the no-paradrop symbol. The reading of the below is interpreted as meaning that if you don't use Option 35, then the no-paradrop symbols are ignored. 11.12 Air Transport, says : *************************** Option 35: Any aircraft with a white range circle can fly an air transport mission, even if it is not an ATR. *************************** 11.15 Paradrop, says : *************************** Option 35: Any aircraft with a white range circle can fly a paradrop mission, even if it is not an ATR. However, aircraft can't fly a paradrop mission if they have a 'no-paradrop' symbol: *************************** 11.18.1 Air Sypply, says : *************************** Option 35: Any aircraft with a white range circle can fly an air supply mission, even if it is not an ATR. *************************** And nothing else in the rulebook about the no-paradrop symbol. What is your opinion about that ? I got 2 answers so far : From Hubert -- IA211@yahoo.fr : ****************************************************** in the paradrop section there are: PARAs can only fly a paradrop mission if they start the mission in supply and stacked with an ATR. So, IMHO, if not playing with option 35, any ATR can make a paradrop mission regardless of the no-paradrop symbol whereas any plane with a white range circle cannot, regardless of the no paradrop symbol. It is IMO like the boat plane which are considered as normal planes if you do not play the option, loosing their special bonus (overstacking in coastal hex) and limits (can only stack in coastal hex) ****************************************************** From Bill Popovich -- popo1@optonline.net : ****************************************************** I disagree. the "however" part of the statement enforces the no-para symbol even without the optional white-print rule, IMO. ****************************************************** Well, one answer for each possibility. Maybe this is a candidate for the questions asked to Harry ?
