Wondering if anyone has created point equivalencies (versus specific units) for the scenarios with the Expanded Rules? Playing them at equal points per side does not seem to work…thanks!
How do you guys use paratroopers?

i tend to send in my paratroopers piecemeal to take out AA guns, MG emplacements, or AT guns. Should I be using them to open up a second front? Establishing a beachead by the objective? Or just reinforcing my main army?

At the most I get 2-3, so my tactics may differ. If you have more, it best to drop them in a spread to prevent enemy movement, but still keep them close to eachother.
Most often I either drop em early to get the most use out of them.
They work well either by entering behind enemy lines and taking commanders/artillery out, or landing on objective hexes or bridge to prevent early capture.
Sometimes I keep them back to face a threat the enemy has (Armored cars or apposing Paras/Heros. But for the most part they pop out pretty early! :D
