Why woun't my engineers and HQ's stay loaded on transport

Post by gn08979 »

I have a bunch of engineers and some HQ units that I need at PM. I'm trying to load them at Brisane. The units are in the SW pacific command, they start to lad on the transport, and then the next turn they get right off and shown as combined at Brisbane. Insubordinate or is the guy giving the orders (me) missing some thing?[&:]

Hi,

Make sure you click "Do not unload" in the TF screen or they will unload the next turn.[;)]

I was moving 31st IJA Division from Shanghai to Bangkok against AI in CHS2.08 and damn TF did skim the tip of Formosa on it's route... Of course those buggers did unload the whole division there... Major annoyance when I started to search where the heck my unit was ! [:'(]

Mental note to self...use "Do not unload"...[8D]

Hi,

Are you assigning a destination to the transport TF , if not the next turn sfter loading theTF will think it just arrived and unload . always 1. form TF , 2. load troops and 3. set destination.

Grunts have the silly notion that any scrap of land seen from ship will have beautiful women on it. Sailors, however, now better. They wait until they see manmade structures before they jump ship.
