First of all, I love this game, very addicting ... well done!!!

I have two leaders -1SP each in a hex with a 2 1/2 ton truck - 3SP. I can load one leader but not the second, I cannot figure it out. I know a Heavy 3SP truck can carry a 6SP platoon so why not two 1SP leaders. It seems the same with helicopters. Once a leader is loaded in any vehicle, nothing else can be loaded.

Perhaps i miss understanding how to do it. I sure would like to see this capabilty.

Thanks!

When the load attempt is blocked, what error message shows in the game status bar?

No Transport Selected

Any chance you can screenshot the situation, please?

Glad you're enjoying the game!!

Woops ... it says No carriers have been selected

Attached is a screen shot as requested. Hopefully i am doing something wrong. Thank you for your assistance.

Ah yes, I believe you are trying to load more than one unit into the trucks.

Alas, that is a limitation, you can only load one unit per carrier, regardless of the extra Strength Points available.

Right, the one passenger per carrier limitation is intrinsic to the game design. The code and UI in no way can support multiple passengers per carrier.

Note that "Leader" in the game does not represent a lone individual. It includes a small retinue of attending aides (short of a HQ).

Jason, Berto,

Thank you for your response. At least now I understand the one unit per transport limitation.

I added a note to the 1.30 version of the manual that will help clarify that.

Thank you for bringing it up!

This is indeed a serious issue. The fact that it's related to the game engine makes it even worse. Does this mean that this problem can never be fixed?

It is the normal standard for the game and is unlikely to be changed.

One unit to load per vehicle.

Hi Michael Mac,

Glad to hear you're enjoying the game! In most scenarios, vehicles, including trucks and helicopters, typically have a limited capacity to carry leaders or units. It seems like in your case, the 2 1/2 ton truck can only carry one leader at a time, and once a leader is loaded, it can't carry another one. This is a common restriction in many games to add a layer of strategy.

Hope this helps clarify things for you! If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
