How do I extract marines after landing on beach and completing mission? The LCUs that ferried them are waiting on the beach...
I know to unload but how to get them back on the LCUs to take them back to ship? Playing "Ravin 21 down"
Thanks

A bit late but.... normally if the sea/air units are capable of taking the ground units (limits are area, mass and personell #)... then you have to
deaggreagate.... change the map to show not groups but individual units .... I use the "v" key
Get the units close.... usually about 1/2 to 1/4 mile
Get them stopped or hovering and low
Sometimes it may help to dissolve any grouping as well ("D" key forces them to exit groups)
Select the unit to embark the mobile units.... (ship or helo's usually)
Under unit orders.... you'll see "select units to pick up" click it and you'll get a crosshair
Put it on a single unit (multiple select may work, not sure) and click....
The embarking unit is still selected and on the right (unit status window, unit message section) you'll see a timer start counting down and a message something like "embarking units.... X:XX:XX time left"
You can take until any ONE of the 3 limits are reached...(area, mass, personell). If you have 100 tons and have loaded 40... and try to load 65 more on a second unit, you'll get a message in the message window showing "load aborted" and a reason if you click the "plus" sign.
That's it.... good luck.
