Invasion stack

[ncc1701e]

Could you please explain why I cannot disembark two units in the same naval stack in the same turn?

The first unit can be unloaded.

[ncc1701e]

But this is impossible to disembark the second unit despite the fact I have the needed landing ships?

I am obliged to split my fleet something I do not want to do for protection.

Perhaps because 2 land units can't occupy the same hex?

[ncc1701e]

Agree but I do not think this is the problem. Initial situation:

[ncc1701e]

Selecting where to disembark:

[ncc1701e]

One division in England

[ncc1701e]

Now with the game rule that any unit can move one hexes even if it has ZERO operation points, I move the division.

[ncc1701e]

And, now, why I can't disembark the second one in the same hexes than the previous one? The button is no more available. Why?

[ncc1701e]

Please note how easy it was to disembark in England. No interception, no battle, nothing.

I think this once again comes down to how movement points are deducted from the entire fleet.

See my post about an unmoved unit that is unable to embark because a fleet moved through the harbor, etc etc

Yep, this one is another problem but perhaps linked indeed.

It is how I designed the system to keep the code cleaner and the invasion fairly straight forward. If you wanted to invade with 2 divisions take a small corps. If you want to invade with 3 divisions invade with a large corps.

I have taken this as an example. As USA, I am arriving in North Africa with an invasion stack of:
. One HQ unit
. One Armed corps unit
. One Mechanized corps unit
. One Large Infantry corps

And you tell me I cannot disembark two units, of different types, because it is in the same naval stack?
It's the opposite of straight forward from my point of view.

So we need to do plenty of stacks to bypass your system. Could you please review your code?

Thanks

I actually think one unit per beach is fine, but it should be explicitly stated in the manual.

Unloading on a beach is not trivial.

Agree with your answer sveint, but in this case, this move must be forbidden.

The solution to the 2 unit invasion is to do invasion 1 first by only moving that ship/unit. Then do invasion 2 with the second

[ncc1701e]

Yes, this is the way to bypass the system. Why is it not possible within one naval stack?

[AlvaroSousa]

I believe I fixed this in the current beta I just put up. The zero movement issue. Test away

[ncc1701e]

Negative - the ZERO move issue is still there in the latest beta (07U7)

[ncc1701e]

I would suggest that any kind of movement should be canceled when a unit is landing on a beach.
