Loading troops

Can I load troops onto an existing task force or do I have to form a new task force to do it. Also I'm not sure where to find transport planes because I want to get some para toopers. Any help?

Hi Saladin,

I've found the best way to load troops onto a TF that already has troops loading is to cancel the load, then go through the load process again. The TF may unload some troops, but not all. It's better than unloading everyone, then reloading. If the TF doesn't already have troops, just give it the "Load Troops" or "Load Only Troops" order.

Transport a/c (Allied, I'm assuming) are C-47s. You can also use PBYs and perhaps another type or two. Best way to ID the a/c is to look at the missions it can fly. If Troop Transport is one of them, they can carry your paras (and other troops, too).

Thanks

Thanks Toro for your response. I did what you said and loaded troops using new task force commands.
