Paratroops and the Med.

[theRedCimmerian]

Okay, so in order to finish off the Greeks, I had to drop my para division on Crete. So, now how do I get it back? I have no transports in the med. Do I have to put an air transport there then use another air transport to get supplies and oil there? I don't have enough transports to make a convoy from Brest to Crete - besides that really seems gamy to me. Must I take Turkey so I can send supplies from Sebastopol?

I really don't want to take command of the Italians.

Maybe it is just a problem with my game, but I notice that I am not able (in Armageddon) to load a transport plane with paratroopers, move them 500-600 miles away to another airbase (with the troops still on the plane), and then rebase to yet another airbase 400-500 miles away, and then finally launch the attack. You can no longer move airplanes loaded with units unless you are launching the attack, so it seems.

You can transport them back. Set up a convoy from Greece to Crete then send your air transport there. Wait till he is at 100% org and the paras are at 100% org then you can fly them back to the mainland.

No can do. Greece is owned by Italy and I am unable to originate a convoy from there. I did solve it though, I annexed Turkey which gave me several properties on the Med.

For future reference, if you took control of Italy and put some of their troops in Crete, the Italian AI would supply the island for you.
