The AI can do parachute assaults - provided that these are pre-programmed by the scenario designer. Unassigned transports, it will do nothing with as it has no clue.

I had some time to go through my old files and found another article on Norway. I had to look for an online source and finally found it today:

It' still in the 80's but it may help you. I know I had an older article from the 70's and I'm still trying to find that one. If I do, I'll either post the link or arrange to get it to you otherwise by a zip file.

I still haven't found the Strategy and Tactics game (#94 - NORDKAPP), but I'm still looking.

Keep updating your progress, I'd really like to see scenarios from this area and time frame.

Yeah, the AI handles parachute assaults just fine.
Helo ... not so well.
