Landing troops in the wrong place

Post by RHoenig »

Ok, this has happend to me in WitP once too in the southern Philippines.

This is what happens:

I have an amphibious TF loaded with troops preped for Lingayen.
The TF sets sail but instead of moving all the way to Lingayen and start unloading there, my admiral in charge desides to call it a day one hex early and drop all the soldiers and gear off at San Fernando.

Now, this is not a gamebreaker (not that early in the game and at that place, anyway) but I´d realy like to know if there is a way to prevent those things from happening, just in case landing at the right place is more important in the future.

Yup, it´s up there http://rapidshare.com/files/265116000/wpae007.pws

One little correction: The TF ended the last turn at San Fernando with "do not unload"
The save is from the end of that turn.
During making the turn, I switched this to "Unload Cargo" because I wanted the TF to unload once it reaches Lingayen.

If you click "unload" while the TF is in a hex in which it can unload, it will immediately unload.

Thanks, I feared that would be it, when I became aware I had done that.
