Trans Exploit

I load a land unit onto a trans and send it to a port. Then I select the land unit and select undo, then I select the trans, the unit will reload to the trans, then I select undo and the trans goes back to the originating port without the land unit and it may be loaded again with a unit in that port and sent elsewhere.
You can transport all the units you have in the originating port with one trans in one turn. [:'(]

So the land unit isn't put back into the orignal port together with the TRS if you press the undo button if it is loaded on the TRS? If so, it is a bug, since the loaded TRS should than return to the original port it came from together with the land unit...

Yes, the trans goes back and can be loaded and used again but the unit that was loaded stays. You have to do it like I stated or it doesn't work. I don't think it's a bug, it's more of an exploit. It will not happen if you undo the trans, you have to undo the loaded unit first, then undo the trans. I guess the program thinks you are undoing the load without considering that the trans has moved.

An exploit in a computer game? That's a bug. It's against the rules. Now, it's a minor one, but it needs to get fixed.

There must be something in that sequence that you are leaving out, I loaded a marine unit onto a transport and sent it to a port, did as you say, used undo on the marine unit, then selected the transport which was disorganized and selected undo and what I am seeing is both units back in the original port and no unit in the port I sailed to. I am confused could you please post a picture of this.

Centuur I tried it a dozen time and I cannot duplicate what he is saying. Maybe he has a cheat code[:D]
What is really upsetting me is I cant do something he can do[:D] It would be a great feature in the Pacific war [&o]

OK, I did leave out a move. Load a unit on a trans. Move the trans to port. R-Click unit, select undo. L-Click unit and then L-Click trans (unit will load onto the trans) R-Click Trans, select undo, the trans goes back to port without load unit and can be used again.
I can show Steve if he wants me to stop by...as long as he feeds me some pumpkin pie. [:D]

Did it exactly as you said and I am sorry its not happening the unit does not stay in the port it was sent to, do me a favor I would like to see that picture if you can, on second thought send me your version of the game I like yours better than mine. [;)]

I don't know, it works for me, every time. [&:] I tried to make a photo summery, but photos don't show how it happens. This is something that I have to show on a PC. I'm pretty sure I can make a video of it. I'll post it to Youtube.

Please ignore the dumb quips by me just joking, but this should not be in the game what you are saying, just trying to get to the bottom of it. Did you leave anything else out because I cannot get it to do what is happening to you. You do not have to post it to you tube and I am sure more knowlegable players here will be able to duplicate the problem better than I can, sorry cannot help you.

Didn't watch the video, but one of Bo or Foo may be disbarking a unit in the destination port with the TRS upon arriving there, while the other is disbarking it from a TRS that stays at sea.
