Quick one guys. Where are the Japanese paratroop units located at the start of the game. Can't seem to find them anywhere!



jetjockey -> RE: paratroops? (12/11/2009 6:20:00 PM)

Kagi & Kagoshima



Mike Solli -> RE: paratroops? (12/11/2009 6:37:55 PM)

2 and 1 respectively.



Chickenboy -> RE: paratroops? (12/11/2009 8:31:38 PM)

There's also a parachute raiding regiment (other than the two SNLFs identified above), but I don't recall immediately where that starts the game.



Mike Solli -> RE: paratroops? (12/11/2009 8:38:17 PM)

That's the one at Kagoshima.



jetjockey -> RE: paratroops? (12/11/2009 9:08:02 PM)

1st Raiding Rgt plus 1st Raiding Sentai start in Kagoshima.
Yokosuka 1st & 3rd SNLF start in Kagi.
2nd Raiding Rgt plus 2nd Raiding Sentai arrive in Kagoshima later.

Thanks guys. It's prompt and helpful answers like this that make this such a great forum![:)]

While we are on the subject, I tried to get them to airdrop on an enemy base, but they did not. It was only four hexes away so distance was not the issue, and I had air superiority, so that wasn't it.
Any ideas?



jetjockey -> RE: paratroops? (12/12/2009 12:02:58 AM)

I've not had that problem, but I have only attacked unoccupied bases. I don't know if it's a factor, but perhaps your "Commander" did not like the odds.



Sardaukar -> RE: paratroops? (12/12/2009 6:56:54 AM)

Probably enemy had CAP over the base, for example.

Which is why it is a good idea to do a fighter sweep for a turn or two before sending the paratroops. You'll lose a lot less transports that way.



kaleun -> RE: paratroops? (12/12/2009 10:00:11 PM)

NO, no enemy aircraft over the base. Had bombed it for a few days and there was no opposition.



Miller -> RE: paratroops? (12/12/2009 10:23:51 PM)

Same problem for me, trying to drop paras on an unoccupied base with no air opposition either.....they will not go, the transport a/c default to supply transport the next turn. This issue was raised several weeks back but I dont think we got an answer......
