River Assault Issue

[Troll]

Hi Joe,

Just as a quick response, I think the amphibious craft need 'engineer trucks' to transport them. I also think you need an infantry unit in the same hex to load/unload them?

I'm not sure about the pontoon ferries, I used them in a scenario I designed, they were used as a transport option in 'friendly territory' so I'm not sure if they can be transported.

Re the replaying of turns, that was debated some time ago and, general opinion was, imho, the warning of turns played should be ignored, there are many valid reasons for multiple save turns and, end of it all, just play the people you feelyou can trust?

Hope that helps!
regards
Peter

The battleship icon, I believe, is to be put right in the next patch.

Hi Peter, thanks for the tip, about Eng trucks, I was looking in the platoon section OB to find these things but could not find any Eng trucks so I then went into the company level and found all I needed. I found Crewed Boat company and Heavy Pontoon company with trucks to carry both :) the pontoon ferries are only a strength of 4 will try to raise them in value. Now I am happy as a clam :) I will test to see if Eng trucks can carry rafts and reg boats. Thanks for responding :)

UpDate, just to let you know all works fine. For the crewed boats and or pontoon ferry, you need 2 eng trucks and 1 eng. So to transport a ferry, you would need 2 eng trucks 1 eng and the ferry all n same hex. I would then highlight all 4 units and click on the load tab but strangely the truck first loads onto the ferry, so i clicked on the load tab again and the ferry loads on the truck as does the eng unit. The ferry can only be unloaded in shallow water and does not need an eng unit in the hex to unload. The same goes for the crewed boats. Rafts and regular boats can be loaded in eng trucks and do not need any other units in the hex to do so and can also unload in shallow water. The river i made is not the river icon but the water icon to simulate a very wide river so you need shallow water to use either the ferry or the crewed boats to unload in with this type of river.

Thanks again

Joe
