If an airborne unit - like paras or marines - is landed (not dropped), they inherit the supply stash of the transport plane's "fuel":


PS: Maybe I shouldn't report stuff like this. Could be an incredible exploit during MP games - no need for any supply for 14 turns or so...

Can you land at an unowned airfield? Or an enemy airfield?

I can say I've ever tried it in oob..

Good point. No, you can't. Stupid idea with the "PS"...

Would never land paratroopers on an airfield in the first place - but there was this one explicit objective in a custom scen.

Maybe I've neglected to elaborate a bit more, but this bug applies to *all* units with air-transport that are landed on airport hexes, not just those who have a "supply stash" to begin with (like marines or paras).

I've noticed (but forgot to mention) it again during the Allies Victorious "Market Garden" scen: Those aux. reinforcements you get for taking the "Deelen Airfield" objective (mostly Brit regular infantry), are supply-immune for 15 turns or so.

No, I was right after all. Try this and you'll have an infantry unit with 15-turns of "supply stash". That means you can reinforce for 15 turns inside enemy territory. Damn, with what I know I could probably win every tournament just using exploits and bugs... LOL

Using the words "exploits" and "tournaments" should definitely wake up devs in any of their game forums.

I bet this is rather fixed than any of my harmless "issues" now.
