Create Loaded TFs at Sea at beg. of scenario

[Pascal_slith]

Hi all,

how do you created a loaded (with supplies or oil or mixed LCU/supply) TF at sea in the scenario editor? The Pensacola convoy has a few field artillery LCUs and supply at the beginning of the grand campaign, and one of the AOs does too. But I couldn't find a reference in the scenario files to the loading of oil or supply (just the LCUs located in the same hex (100,100) at start).

Good question i am interested in the answer too.

Technically, it cannot be done. It is a bit of a problem. A TF will load at the start - but that isn't the same thing.
A trick once used in CHS was to put the "cargo" at sea - in the hex of the TF - and it will then proceed to load it - otherwise a TF must either start in port - or with no cargo. The exception is the tanker convoy for Kiddo Butai - which begins at sea with full cargo. That is hard code - apparently.
