Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956

Hi, I just noticed something else. I've been running the scenario a bunch of times in a row just to see how the paradrops average out. Turns out usually 1 planes drops most of it's load in the 'water' and losses over 50% aren't that uncommon (average seems to be about 30%). However, it's not just the 'water' that's killing the para's. There are quite a few full 'land' hexes that kill them too. These appear as having a -1 height which seems to be enough to kill any para landing in it (drowning in 30 centimeters of 'water'?). Note that hese are not swamp hexes (those have -2 to -3 height) but usually sand, for example: 18,6 19,6 20,20 20,21 14,21 and a couple more.
Is that intentional? Losses are already high without these hexes. Again, just wondering.
