Title: Transport Planes on Reaction Phase
Post by: Darkman on March 06, 2013, 06:52:59 AM

Heya,

can Transport planes with paratroopers fly on the reaction phase? (Air unit reaction)

The rules do not specify, unfortunately.  But I would rule that they should not.  In the rulebook, the reaction phase is described as planes on 'combat air patrol' in their space and adjacent spaces.  I think this would go against the spirit of an airborne operation.  I'll add a sentence to the working rules that transport planes only move during the regular air movement phase - not allowed to move during the air reaction phase.  Any disagreement?

Thanks for highlighting this.
