How can I add a naval support group to a TF?

Post by MrBlizzard »

Playing battleground Italy scenario as Allies.
trying to add a naval support group to TF "J" that is located in Naples but I can't.
two naval support groups are attached to AFHQ (TF "B" and TF "C") that is in Perugia.

Any clue?

Thanks

As far as I know you can't swap naval support groups between TFs.

Can you upload a screenshot of the TF with two naval support units, and/or upload the save game?

It's not between 2 TFs. It's from AFHQ (Allies main HQ leader by Eisenower) to a TF.
After the withdrawal of 4 TFs in the beginning of 1944, I was left with 2 TFs (one of them hasn't a naval support group attached).

Just to confirm, did you look at each of the TF units and make sure the Naval Gunfire support units aren't assigned to one or both of them?

TF B/C support groups were originally attached to TF 81/85 HQs. Those HQs withdraw but leave the support groups in the med. All 3 british naval support groups withdraw, 2 of them with their HQ, 545A (later J) stays.
Do you still have the TF A naval support groups somewhere? It started attached to TF86.
Are you able to attach one of the support groups to AFHQ ?

Yes I've got the naval support group named TF (A) attached to TF 86 (that is in Taranto) as you can see in pciture

The other two support groups ("B" & "C") are already attached to AFQH, as you can see in pic in my post #6, my problem is that they are stuck there, I can't attach one or both of them to TF "J"!

So, recapping, I've got 3 naval support groups (A, B, C) and 2 amphibious TFs (86 and J),
but I'm not able to attach a naval support group to TF "J" (C & B are stuck with Eisenhower's AFHQ)

Sorry if I'm annoying but didn't catch the answer...
Is it impossible and WAD to attach a US naval support group to British amphibious TF?
The 2 US naval support groups left should remain useless in Mediterranean?
Thanks

You aren't supposed to be able to move the amphib support groups. There is a bug where one of the amphib HQs doesn't have an amphib support group, something we'll fix. The extra ones should have withdrawn with the amphib HQ as they are unusable.
