Warlord posted this article today, rules for landing airborne troops in the midst of the action:

Quote:The rules of Bolt Action deal with paratroopers and glider troops by assuming that they have dropped/landed outside the playing area and regrouped by the time they arrive on the table. We feel that the reserve rules, and particularly the outflank option, allow the player to simulate the situation where these troops arrive on the battlefield from an unexpected direction.

However, we have all watched movies where paratroopers land under fire and indeed there have been a few such instances in history, most notably during Operation Market-Garden. The optional rules presented in this article are an attempt at recreating those few dramatic occurrences in your games of Bolt Action.
