Custom scenario 'Malta' and 'Market Garden', para problems

Hi

Malta is a 1km/hex scenario with 284 German/Italian units and 210 British units on a 141.99 map.
Market Garden is a 1km/hex scenario with 130 German units and 139 Allied units on a 59,117 map.

The AI is very reluctant to drop paratroops, the JU52s/Dakotas just mill about endlessly.
It looks like you have to put the on top or next to a non-occupied objective hex for the AI to kick the paratroopers out the door.

Is this a known problem,/any workarounds?

Thanks
Erik

The para AI can not landing on correct positions. Set the Para batallions on map - not on Ju !

BTW - Do you use my Market garden map - its the same scale ???

Yes, I have put the paras on map.
No, this is my own map (1km/hex) converted from my TOAW-scenario.

OK - thats funny - I used my old own map from JTCS meets pG3D WW2 and its nearly the same extents.

Looking forward for your scenario - BTW TOAW have many military errors - I hope you can eliminate this !

Well, TOAW goes into far more historical detail than PzC. But I think this game is good fun that may attract a new wargaming audience.
Besides, the editor lets you create the map quickly (the most tedious part of sceanrio-creation).
