The Waco Glider was a fabric covered
wood and metal glider capable of carrying 13 combat troops, one light vehicle
(light trucks, jeeps & trailers) or a 75mm howitzer.
Purchase:
Gliders must be placed at a factory when produced
Movement:
Gliders move with their base unit, which must be either a strategic bomber
(unless stated otherwise) or an air transport.
Such an aircraft has its range reduced by 2 when towing a glider. A glider can otherwise move “1” in
non-combat movement. A glider remains
in the zone it attacks and does not return with the towing unit.
Transporting
Units:
A glider can transport 1 infantry in
combat movement. That infantry need not be an airborne but may not be a
mechanized infantry.
Attack:
Gliders must be delivered to their destination and have no combat move of their
own. Upon reaching their destination
they and their towing aircraft are subject to AA fire. After AA fire, Gliders land in the zone and
units from them can participate in the attack.
Units attacking from a glider may not retreat. Gliders are destroyed if the territory is not
captured by the attacking units.
Restrictions:
Gliders may never be launched from a carrier.
