Nihon Silk Airdrop Question

[Blackcloud6]

Is the Airdrop considered an action? Or is it conducted before any actions take place. (I know that the units are marked moved/fired after dropping). I wonder if I count the drop as an action for number of actions before Fog of War is rolled?

Fred, FWIW, I played the airdrop as one activation. Of course, that's not official.

I would consider all the air-drops as one phase or one activation. No need for FoW in those airdrop scenarios, as they are hard enough on the Japanese.

Thanks Jay and Mike.

Fog of War is fun though...

Fog of War will kick in after the first couple of turns. A scattered drop means that some of your Japanese may get into battle fairly late, if at all.
