Japanese amphib task force can't unload at Shortlands

Post by tonybot »

I have been playing a few years and have never encountered this issue. I have tried 2 different amphib task forces for a landing on the Shortlands, but they either of them won't unload even though it's unguarded. I have an amphib tf with 2 PB, 1 xAk-t and 1 xAK trying to unload the I/66th Nav Gd. The previous TF was 3 PB, 2xAK trying to unload the III/66th Nav Gd. The task forces just sit there and do nothing. It never even gets to the TF unloading phase. Opponents Subs are torpedoing my ships!

A couple of shot-in-the-dark thoughts:
Are you calling the TF 'Amphibious" because it has troops aboard or did you ensure it has the mission type "Amphibious" which must be set before loading it?
Are you using the map that came with that game version or did you swap in one of the prettier maps which may have differences in the position of bases? Map Art and Map Data must be matched to use them.

Having the same issue in my game---i think it might have to do with the stacking limits mod as for some reason the shortlands base is showing no stacking limit at all while most of the bases in that area seem to have a 35k stacking limit i think it is....all the other bases seem to have the limit but i think the mod missed that base it looks like...not sure.

Im using a map mod and stacking mod and so far thats the only base i have noticed an issue with---and it appears due to the stacking mod since it has no number listed while all others do.
