Hi Bruno :)

First of all check that barge is in place where is 'shallow water'. If that is the case you choose first barge and then hit a 'L' -key to unload and click with the cursor to where you want unloaded unit to appear. Then you have movement points for unloaded unit so get it off the beach.

If this don't work I'll need more info of situation or perhaps save-game file to solve it. Feel free to send it to me if this don't help you.

mosh :D
salute

mosh

If its not rotten, shoot again

HI

I had the same problem with 5.0 but haven´t tried it yet with 5.01.

You can basically do it from anywhere (even a slope). The trick is this (with my installation anyways) :)
You might wanna practise this cause the rules are arbitrary. Sometimes it is possible sometimes not. :(

You bring the bargecarrier close to water, adjacent to shallow water or even IN shallow water. Then you might wanna wait for a turn to end.
Next turn you´ll notice that you can drive the truck into deeper water (just one hex).
Well, drive it. Instead of drowning your
lazy c-class warriors, they´ll throw the barge into that hex. (smart ones aye!)

Loading your units into the barge might be
another issue totally.

Then you need to use the load command (hotkey_:L)
I had major problems with this but don´t get upset with it. Try it in different places and
locations and remember - take time securing the beachhead.
