Rearranging CVPs

[Courtenay]

I just discovered something about MWiF that I did not know. Since I didn't know it, I think others might not know it.

In J/F, the Japanese had just had a bunch of CVPs shrink in size, and they wanted to reorganize their carrier fleet at Truk, filling up some carriers, and leaving others to go back to Japan to be filled next turn.

So first I moved a CVP off a carrier onto Truk (fortunately their was room for it). This gave me room so that I could move all the other CVPs to where I wanted them on carriers. However, this still left that first CVP on Truk, not a carrier. I tried picking it up, and MWiF would not let me. Frustrating. Finally, in exasperation, I left-clicked on the CVP. To my surprise, the Undo line was active, even though the carrier the CVP came from was filled with other CVPs. Curious, I clicked on Undo, and I got a message box reading something like: "This will overstack the unit. Do you want to land on a different carrier?" I clicked on "Yes", and the CVP was put on the only carrier that it would fit, which is what I wanted. I suspect that if there had been more than one carrier where it could have fit, I would have gotten the land on carrier window.

This was useful, and I am surprised I had never seen this before. It did not occur to me that Undo would work here, because it does not for land units or land based aircraft.

That's really useful to know - thanks for posting.

Interesting. Thanks. Seems like a continuation of the land units switching system applied to planes plus some additional help.

A pity we need to resort to these.
