In the exclusive rules book on page 13, section 3.4.2 Glider/Paradrop Markers it states "Each glider/paradrop marker on a Unit takes the Unit one action to remove." So, if a Unit had two Glider/Paradrop Markers, then it would take 2 actions to remove those markers completely from the Unit? If so, can the unit spend an action point for a second action to remove the second marker? or would that be considered a violation of the rule on page six of the Grand Tackticle Series Rules booklet in section 10.0.2 What is a Second Action paragraph four where it states "A unit or stack of units that has just completed an action may imediatley perform a second action if...." "The second action is different from the action that the unit or (stack) just performed..." Also another question regarding paratrooper and glider units, The Air Drop/Glider landing table looks to have die rolls surpassing 12+. Does this mean that when using this table for every landing we are to use two ten sided dice? --Thanks

So if the first action is to remove a glider/paradrop marker, the second action cannot be to remove a second marker. It's just a single die roll on the landing table, but there are potential modifiers that can increase the die roll to 12 or more.

Is Para / Glider landing a movement action. 2. Are sticks treated as stacks? If so can an individual unit still detach itself from the stack as part of a second action (i.e. to move). 3. Presumably a unit without a parachute / glider counter on it is presumed to have landed (or else how do you keep track of which unts have landed and which are still en-route). Why then do you role for the non- DELAY First Drop units? 4. Do you role on the airlanding table every time your remove a Glider / parachute counter, or only when removeing the last counter. Clarification would be appreciated.

Clarification would be appreciated. 1. No, it's not. When the landing takes place, just put them on the map. Placing them on the map is not an Action (it takes place during the reinforcement phase, see Exclusive Rule 3.2.). 2. You can activate them as stacks, or individually. So a Unit can activate, remove the marker as a first action and move as a second action. 3. The roll represents how poorly the drop/landing was. If the landing went well, there are no additional markers, but if it went poorly, more markers are added. 4. You only roll on the airlanding table the first time a stick activates (except for drop one, you roll before the first activation for drop one). Only one roll is made on the table for each stick. See Exclusive Rule 3.4.1.

This explains why the Brits failed to make it to the bridge in all seven solo games of intermediate Scenario 1 I've played so far. I was treating the drop as an actrvation thus costing them a move.
