Airborne Problem in 1939 Scenario

[Leedsunited40]

I purchase and receive my LW paratroopers well before I commence an attack on Denmark and Norway - but even if I prepare the unit far in advance I cannot get into Norway directly unless I first jump into Denmark, prepare again and then jump - this wastes two turns and ruins any concept of surprise!

What am I doing wrong - or is it the game?

Leedsunited40!:

Without knowing exact specific's, your intuition is probably the answer to your question!.

'I cannot get into Norway directly unless I first jump into Denmark', ...yes, your Aircraft Technology must be up higher in order for you to jump further, so if your just starting the game, obviously your Aircraft Tech is low, so therefore your 'Paratroopers' will not be able to jump very far!. Lastly...then, yes ...you will need to take Denmark first, then you will be able to jump to Norway from there!.

Without any Long Range Aircraft techs, the Operational Range of your paratroopers should be about 6 tiles.

To increase their range, research Long Range Aircraft and then upgrade the paras.

Leedsunited40, if you place your Paratroops at tile 78,14 they can then reach Norway and attack Oslo without having to take Denmark first. Of course, weather will also have to co-operate, i.e. it will have to be clear, in order for your Paratroops to fully use their Operational Range of 6 tiles

Maybe you should label that tile.
