When you capture an airport, you can deploy Paradrop units. Every few minutes, you can drop a group of Paradrops at a chosen location on the map. If you’re on the Allied side, the Paradrops will be GIs; if you’re on the Soviet side, they’ll be Conscripts. When the paradrop soldiers are ready to be deployed, click on the icon in the Armory menu under the Production tabs. To deploy them, click on the area of the battlefield where you want to drop them. An aeroplane will carry out the airdrop at the desired location.

Wounded infantry units can be sent to hospital for treatment. After selecting the wounded infantry units, move the cursor over the hospital. It will then change to a drop-down cursor. Fully recovered units are automatically deployed from the hospital.

An Outpost is an armed repair workshop that operates in exactly the same way as Allied or Soviet Service Depots. The difference is that the outpost is capable of defending itself against air and ground attacks. Once you have captured the outpost, it will defend itself against your enemies. Damaged vehicles can be repaired there.

Oil derricks provide a steady stream of money whilst they are in operation (plus a ‘discovery’ bonus on the first extraction).
