Not really.
A para-based campaign can only be set up as a user campaign:
1) The designer can then allocate air support for every battle and/or assign transports as fixed support troops.
2) The designer can then make every battle an advance or assault for the player, and put troops and objectives all over the map as opposed to on the defenders half.
3) the player can still buy a ground attack element of tanks etc, no way to stop him doing that as even if the designer still tells the user to not do that in the scenario text, players will still buy them, regardless.
So basically - air assaults are really only meant for a singleton scenario, either as part of a user campaign or as a scenario on the scenarios page. Beach assaults however (like river crossings) can appear in the normal LC.
This game is meant to be one of ground warfare with a ground forces core.
