Support Weapons and Radio

[terrysimo]

Is there a way to transfer Support Weapons between units or Drop a SW so another unit can get it? I had a Radio dropped by a killed leader and then a Squad automatically picked it up and I wasn't able to figure out how to either Drop the Radio or Transfer it to another Leader?

Also - there is no captured weapons in the game correct? I could not pickup any enemy weapons.

You are correct that you cannot pick up enemy weapons. That was mentioned by Peter Fisla (Game Guru/Creator) in an earlier post, but it doesn't address your specific issue. Good question, though - maybe Peter or Paullus can comment? [:)]

<< It's done automatically, when you have a personnel unit (Squad, HS, Crew) in the same hex as unpossessed weapon. Note only crew can use Ordnance. >>

Correct, you can't use opposite side equipment in the game.

Dropped weapons get picked up when a friendly unit is the same hex as the dropped support weapon/ordnance.

Ok - got it on enemy Support Weapons

Problem is that only a Leader can use Radio and Squads are automatically picking up the Radio. So how do I transfer it from a Squad to a Leader? Otherwise if this isn't a function then it is a bug as otherwise the Leader may never get the Radio if it is dropped by KIA unit.

Thanks, this will be fixed in the coming up patch...
