Can't stand Transports.
I recently did a hotseat game,I bought some paras to give my opponent a nasty suprise,but my main force got routed, a para platoon was spread out over 20 hexes, just a disaster.I managed to kill the enemy arty, but I don't think my opponent even noticed
I've done way better with gliders,if I had went with gliders I could have brought a light tank to the field,but nooooooo.
I think you have to be an expert to plot an airbrne assault correctly.
