Airborne Missions
An Airborne Mission is a special kind of Mission first appearing in Expansions #24, #25, and #40.
Airborne Missions begin with the Soldiers being delivered to the start of the Mission by either Parachutes, or in a Glider. Once the Mission is underway, Airborne forces must operate behind enemy lines, cut off from support forces, until their Mission is complete. The Landing Zone and Enemy Lines cards simulate the difficulties of Airborne Missions.

Your Soldiers must be delivered to the Mission card with a Glider, or with Parachutes. Decide if you will use a Glider or Parachutes when selecting your forces.
