I haven't done it, but it's not unthinkable for me. Mostly it's not a tactical thing in the periods I play, but I could see it being so in a science fiction game. |

Every now and then – paratroops or drop ships for sci-fi |

Might be entertaining to see the Old Guard "Drop in" |

Does BoFA's "The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming!" count? Not exactly an "air drop," but they do fly in to (maybe) save the day. Memoir ‘44 has a "paratrooper" drop for Pegasus Bridge (IIRC). Other than that, I've not done any "drops" on the tabletop. |

I have done so in the past playing WRG 1925-1950. One of the better games I ran was to give the German player 6 moves to enter the board and set up in a D-Day scenario. They arrived only to find American paratroopers already dug in defending the cross roads that had been assigned to the Germans to protect from the beach breakout. |

Our WWII scenarios rarely use paratroopers but when they did it was always interesting. When we used to play 40K it was a fairly frequent event. |
