Parachutist Drift in Crete

[plloyd1010]

The rule says roll for which units and/or leaders drift. So, not by stack. Airborne landings tended to scatter troops all over, and in fragments below the scale of the game. That creates a logical reason for not stacks, beyond the rule.

The first airdrop rules appeared in Behind the Beaches in 2009, after War on the Equator. I mention WotE because it also had an airborne landing scenario. Anyway, the Behind the Beaches rules appear to have been the basis for the Nihon Silk rules. Those rules then reappeared in Airborne remastered.
