I've posted on the forum about my Cassinga Raid game before, but here's the full scenario:

Cheers Sparrow! 

I've actually edited this to add a chunk of text that I missed earlier - namely the information on terrain, etc that comes after the SWAPO briefing.

Excellent! I love the use of the old Command Decision paper and ruler para drop rules. To my mind that system is yet to be beat and adds  an extra dimension of fun. Just ensure some gamey bugger doesn't set up an electric fan nearby.

Cheers chaps!  However, I think I first came across the paper-drop method in WRG, which was some years before CD appeared.  I must confess that I allowed the SWAPO players to blow from the north end of the table for the more scattered drops.

Oh and I have I on good authority that the lunatics from the Hereford VBCW idiocy were using one of these to deploy paratroops on to the table during their last game... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hasbro-B77141020-Gaming-Elefun/dp/B01FHIG184

Excellent looking game.

I think the paper drop method was actually an old Don Featherstone idea.

Cheers!  Yes, I'm sure it was.  Many of these ideas got passed on from older rules.
