It's no longer possible for me to understand what Don is suggesting. It may be to limit airdrops by number of hexes, limit them to undefended hexes, or...

The Western Allies came very close to conducting an airborne operation against Rome in 1944. ...
i could let him speak for himself, but i actually think what Don is saying is this: - by the definition of an attrition zone, there are cases where airborne...

The rules then as they stand, give airborne forces a special capability for snatching a port and holding it that seaborne invaders/commandos don't have. If the...
When 14.65 was introduced, I thought 14.65 also applied to airdrops: 14.65 ELIMINATION OF ALL DEFENDING UNITS IN AN ATTRITION ZONE: If all the non-partisan...
Don, I think we are well passed the need for the massive history lesson, for the third or fourth time. I think it is fairly clear that 14.65 applies as it...
... Except airborne aren;t anythign like exploiting armour, are they? Little heavy equipment support, virtually no vehicles (if any at all). So the 'airborne...

... That seems a little harsh. I think that Don has some valid points, even though I disagree with him in this case. It is very subjective on what *could*...
... Don is entitled to defend his views but once those views are rejected it is only polite to accept what the majority thinks and not go on and on about it. ...
Don is tough, so don't worry. anyways, I think the point is how we want 14.65 to be interpreted when it comes to hex control the first turn after an airborne...
The actual issue is a very simple one, despite efforts to make it sound complicated: Should an airborne unit be able to hold a hex against an attrition (at the...

ok, but perhaps we need to make it clearer then that 14.65 does not apply to a hex when 14.212 is in effect? Perhaps just add it as an exception in 14.65: ...

I agree with Bruce, here. The ground attack would be the proper response. Just a piece of perspective... even the offensive against a lone 1m3 and three...
The ironic thing about this discussion is that I have most frequently seen airborne units used in Russia by the RUSSIANs, to BREAK encirclements, using...
Probably the best thing about AWAW is the way a grand-scale strategic simulation still has lots of "tactical" feel and nuance...It has lots of the tactical...

I don't think Don worries about play balance, as he rarely plays the game (as far as I'm aware). I do, and I am worried about play balance. The change Don...
