[WarInEur] Loading Paras?

[Kent & Sue Haunschild]

Quick questions for clarification.  How many turns does it take to prepare paras for air assault? Can builds be placed directly into the Air Box just like reinforcements can?

I know the rules read four turns ahead.  My question really has to do with when you start and stop counting.  If you remove them from the map that should count as turn one. Correct? They can be dropped on turn 4.  So if I load a unit on turn one of a cycle they should be available on turn four of the same cycle.

The rules say that reinforcements can be placed directly into the Air Box so they are immediately ready to drop.  This leaves those countries that must build their units at a disadvantage and leaves some anomalies like the Italian 3-4 being immediately drop ready but the German 2-5's taking an additional four turns to prep or the Allies being able to place their 9-10 directly into the Air Box except when playing with the Allied Production Option.
