Loading troops or passengers onto cargo ships in editor

I'mnot sure if this is a bug, or if I'm simply not doing it correctly.

I'm attempting to place some troops on cargo ships for an invasion. (operation Avalanche). in the scenario editor.

I create an American sea hex. then add a unit to that hex, and add subformation of 10 cargo ships to unit. (give it some supply and experience. This give me a cargo ship unit in the Salerno Bay.

I then take a 36 ID HQ (only has staff subformation=10). Move it to same hex as cargo ship. Then press button to load cargo. I select the HQ unit and press the checkmark to confirm. ANd i get a unhandled exception "Index outside of bounds of array" erro message.

If this is a bug, I can wait until fixed, but if I'm simply not doing this correctly, perhaps someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Rick

I'm not exactly sure what I've done differetnly, but it seems I can load transport ships with troops (well, I've tried HQ units anyway so I assume troops as well).

I thought I had tried this with 1.02, but perhap i hadn't .

In any event, I seem to be able to do it now.

Thanks,
Rick

it might have been included in v1.02b, but not in v1.02.

I am running 1.02b and still cannot load hq's or troops onto transport in the editor. I have tired in several scenarios and on two computers and keep getting an error.

No problem! I just went back in to see if I could narrow down the issue, see what I had done to make it poossuble to load without exception error. And I couldn't successffuly load them again this morning.

So good luck, sorry I couldnt help pinpoint the problem.

I'm still having a ball with this game.

Thnks!
