I don't see a problem with this, sorry.   :)  I recall that in Operation 
Market Garden, the Germans had occupied one of the drop zones, and since the 
radios were broken, the fact of the occupation couldn't be reported to the 
pilots and soldiers, so the reinforcements got gunned down when they dropped 
on the occupied drop zones.  Same problem for supplies.

Maybe it could be made optional, which would allow a normal routine to happen 
where drop zones are automatically relocated to accommodate occupation, but 
then we could still simulate Operation Market Garden properly.  :)
