Possible bug - can't jump from Rhodos airbase

[zechi]

I just noticed that it is not possible to make a parajump from the Rhodos airbase (for example to capture Cyprus) because it has only supply level 1. I wonder if this is intended, as from my point of view an airbase would most suitable as a base of operations for a paraunit. As far as I know Rhodos was a major military and aerial base for the Axis and I don't think they had any supply problems in the real war or I'm wrong?

I didn't know paras could use airbases; I thought it was only air units. If paras are going to be allowed to use them, then maybe allowing para jumps from airbases would make sense?

Only air units can use airfields not adjacent to cities. That includes Rhodes. It's not a bug

[zechi]

I don't understand? You can jump to Rhodos with a paraunit from Crete, but it gets supply level 1 on Rhodos and cannot be moved afterwards. I have the newest patch installed.

You're not supposed to land there. It's the same as landing from a transport on an island without a port. Then you can never leave again. It's been like this since the vanilla game and won't be changed.

OK, thank you for the answer. However, I think it should then not be possible to move a para to Rhodos. The hex should be inaccessible for paras. Same with the islands. Don't get me wrong, this is not a big issue, but it does not seem right that you can move units to spots where they can't be moved in any way. This is especially true for paras on an airbase like Rhodos. Rhodos was a major military and aerial base in WW2 and it seems wrong that paras can't use it.

That is true, but then it should not be possible to unload units into islands either because you can get them out again. I think that once you know about this then you won't ever do it.

We might look into this for GS v2.2. GS v2.1 is frozen and Slitherine are now making the installer.
