How do you capture a field?

[gospel]

Hi all!

I am new to aces high (another warbirds convert   ) and I am trying to find out what is necessary to close and capture a field.  I have not been able to find any information on this on the aces high web site.

also:
I noticed once when I tried to take off from a recently captured field that I could only take 25% fuel.  What determines how much fuel is available?

Thanks in advance,

Welcome to AH!

To capture a field you need to get 10 (?) paratroopers into the map room at that field.  This usually means killing the field ack, as these will kill the paratroopers.  You will also need to vultch, er...suppress defending aircraft, as these can also kill the troopers.

Paratroops are (currently) only available in C-47's, and can be dropped from any altitude and speed.  They have a limited travel time, so need to be dropped close to the field.

The reason fuel was limited at the captured field is that some of the fuel tanks at that field had been destroyed, and had not yet regenerated.

Thank you Popeye  .

Does anyone know of written documentation on what efdects the destruction of the various structures and areas such as cities, hq, etc. has on a country?

Here is the list:

Structures on fields:
Barracks -- no troopers can be taken from this field.
Ammo -- no eggs for buffs.
Tower -- the field dar is out (you still can see bar in the sector, but can not see dots)
Fuel -- take all fuel on field to force nme planes to go up with only 25% of fuel.

Other structures:
Factories -- prolongs field structures rebuild time. Normally it is 30 minutes, but the more dammage you make to apropriete factory -- the longer the time.
City -- prolongs factories rebuild time.

Hope that helps,
