I originally designed this unit independent of any other source in the 1980’s when there was only A&A Classic available.
Motorized Infantry: move 2 (same as Armor) Attack Value = 1 Defence value = 2 Cost is 4 PF.

Dropped it to 1 infantry, also dropped it to 1 transport… wouldn’t want the UK building 5 units off Egypt if an IC was there. Come to think of it, maybe the paratrooper ability should be 1 infantry per base, it’s a new bonus for all nations, so one is better than none. I didn’t get the Crete joke.
**-Cruisers and Battleships may pick up and drop off 1 infantry unit each during the non-combat movement phase only.
-Fully operational naval bases (zero damage) may build 1 transport unit each during the mobilize new units phase.
-Fully operational airbases (zero damage) may launch 1 infantry unit each into a hostile territory during the combat movement phase (as per R&D paratrooper rules).**

wasn’t a joke. was a lament over the OOB paradrop rules. … they prevent a historical Battle of Crete, which was a pure air drop operation with no supporting amphib attack. Was Euro Axis’s largest use of paratroopers.

Well, Italy would take a lot of north African territories without the restrictions, but we could drop them in favor of just 1 paratrooper per base, it’s stiil a bonus for all nations the game never had before… so one is better than nothing, and they can land on and control empty territories as well.

not to nitpick, but to maintain consistency with the OOB rules, I would keep it so that sAirbases and Navalbases are considered fully operational if they have 2 or less damage. Making it different amounts of damage for different functions introduces needless complexity. Just my two cents.

You’re right, why add complexity if not needed…
