paratroopers and some strategic bombers cheers

[scorehouse]

i've even landed a pioneer unit and a recon by boat along with paratroopers. i don't know how to resupply them and they get beat up quickly. my JU-88 SBs don't seem to inflict much damage as the Norweigen units go right back to full strength. should i be using a different bomber? how do you keep the paratroopers at fighting strenght? thanks very frustrated

[VirgilInTheSKY]

2 Fallschimjaegers, I usually go for the rescue of those encicled guys first, and Blucher next when I have silenced the fortress with Stukas, Oslo secured and Falls have nothing to do.

The supply hex on the island is right below the fortress, so you have to destroy it first and capture that hex with Falls. Don't send naval transports, land everything you have in the sea onto the land and push forward.

sorry but don't understand how i can have anything in the sea without naval transport unless you meant sky?

[scorehouse]

do you take the Island after rescuing the paratroopers fighting to start the scenario or after that?

[VirgilInTheSKY]

I send 4 paratroopers to the airfield to help the surrounded guys take the airfields, while my Stukas bombing the fort with Blucher suppressing that AA on the island.
With norway navy in the sea and all the naval mines, I would prefer simply land every unit started in the sea on land and push along the road.
Ju 88s should go for enemy ships, they won't do much to the fort.

With battles on land finished and fort destroyed, I then send 2 paras to the island, directly onto the supply hex, and clear out what's remained of the garrasion.

thanks my Stukas don't seem to reach you must being launching from the bottom most airfield?

did you check for upgrades for your stukas

[scorehouse]

the B is the only version available . the 110 will reach but they do little damage. i don't have a double attack hero

[scorehouse]

what Stuka r u using?

[Grondel]

i don't know how to resupply them and they get beat up quickly.

the supply hex is below the bunker so no option, if u take the harbor first ur units will get supply and can easily clean the island.

[scorehouse]

for some reason my Stukas wouldn't reach the fort so i used 2 max strength 110-s. one had double move so i got back to back hits paired with 2 over strengthed Falls with heroes attached. took it with relative ease and did it first off. only problem is i can't find the bounty i captured? supposed to be rocket artillery?? know where they went?

You will find it in your prototype list for purchase. It is not a unit that just appears on some far flung hex on the map. The Nazi chick hero comes the following map in the second turn, I believe.

[scorehouse]

is prototype a different list from captured? wouldn't you access it thru artillery?

[VirgilInTheSKY]

Prototypes are listed above Captured equipments and below normal equipment, and should also be in the Artillery panel.

[scorehouse]

do you have to check "Industry Connections" to get them?

Industry Connections will get you a supply of prototypes each scenario.

A 'gifted' supply of units will be 'captures' if foreign, 'prototypes' if domestic [German].

A 'Gifted Unit' has an unlimited supply of replacements [Verdeja].

i captured the Island and the weapons cache. to start the next scenario, the Wurf mobile artillery showed up under prototype is this what i captured?
