Comment: As this card isnt as good as Single Combat, it deserves a rating of 3 or less.

Even bader: As Airdropped Supplies doesnt RELOAD a depleted Unit, it isnt able to untap a depleted Mech until this Mech has been reloaded. If you want to untap a reloaded & tapped Mech, you should use the Veteran MechWarrior pilot, or even better: a Sharpshooter pilot to avoid depleting your Mech !

But if you can afford Politics in your deck, and want to attack with your big nasty Mechs more than once per turn, you can try to untap your Widowmaker, Prometeus or one of the cheaper Daishi with this card. But usually you will have lost already against a good player before you will be able to use Airdropped Supplies together with a big nasty Mech to attack more than once per Mission phase with the same Mech:P

PS: If you play Steiner, use Bearer of McKennsy Hammer instead, or together with Airdropped Supplies to maximize the effect :D

Comment: Good for quick turnarounds. Alpha strike to your hearts content, then use this to untap the mechs.
