Blitz is just a name for a first move “into a hostile, unoccupied territory”. Page 27 of the pac rulebook. Since your first move isn’t into a hostile territory, its not a blitz, Mr. Pain is correct, I believe.
Technology rule question: Paratroopers
-
I don’t have the rulebook on me, but could someone please explain how the Paratrooper tech works. I believe it launches infantry from airbases, but how many spaces can they launch, and how many can be launched per airbase?
-
Up to 2 inf per territory with an airbase can be sent to assist a land/amphib assault within 3 spaces of said airbase. There is no limit to how many airbases may do this, but they all have a range of 3 spaces. It is also important to note that the paratroopers are subject to AA fire as if they were aircraft.
-
Also, when moving, paratroopers must obey the same movement restrictions that air units do.
-
They can’t land in newly captured territories?
-
Paratroopers don’t move in noncombat movement.
