Pontoon ferry

Post by Gribeauval »

Hello,
I want to play the scenario called "Off to Gidi"(v102beta).
In this scenario, there are some egyptian pontoon ferries.
I don't understand how to use these pontoons to cross the wide canal with an infantry unit.
The infantry unit can't move in the water, the pontoon ferry can't move on the bank of the canal and I can't load the infantry unit in the pontoon since both units can't be in the same hexagon.

(I have readen the manual, but I can't find any info about this pontoon unit.)

Regards.

There are some marsh areas along the canal that you can utilize

So, say turn 1, there is a pontoon ferry that starts at 54,63. After you load up the infantry platoons at 53,63 into the boats and move them into the canal at 54,62, you can move the pontoon ferry into 53,63.

Move another infantry platoon into 53,63

Double click both icons and press Load.

You will see the graphic change and it is ready to be moved across the canal (next turn).

You will have to move across to the other marsh area and unload.

And you're off to the races.
