Moving stuff to the Continent.

[Uxbridge]

It was in a thread earlier, but I can't find it now -- how you move support units from the UK to France without having them attached to something else going there. I think I checked it at the time, found it working. But now I simply can't figure out how to do it. As it stands, the only possibility seems to be cramming a surplus HQ with SU's, sending it across and redistribute in France with the HQ returning for more.

Is there any other way?? [8|]

Yes, but it can be laborious. Find the HQ in England that has the support units that you want to transport to France (probably SHAEF) and right click on it. Then click on a Support unit in this HQ that you want to transfer to an HQ in France. Now click on the HHQ Button for this unit (which probably currently says SHAEF). This will call up a list of HQs to which you can transfer this support unit. Note that these will probably only include Army Group and Army HQs that are in France. You will have to wait until next turn to reassign these support units to the Corps HQs or the ground units you want them assigned too. Repeat for each support unit.

haha this is something the first time I played I did not know that I should do, and after I had invaded I had 100+ support units sitting in SHAEF and couldn't get them moved over (and couldn't get SHAEF moved over either)

[Uxbridge]

Oh, thank you Banana, I get it now. I couldn't move directly to a corps as it seems. But I just landed 2nd Br. Army in Normandy and it was eligible to recieve SU's. [:)]

Off topic, but I think it unnecessary to starta a new thread:

1. The manual mention 2-hex-firing artillery. Is there any such in this game?

2. If one sewers the enemy rail line, will his depots send freight from depot to depot via trucks?

[LiquidSky]

Yup..the Germans get a fairly large number of Artillery Brigades which can set up on the map. They work adjacent to the units.

You can also look at an allied AMphip HQ as an artillery unit, it also provides artillery support to the units adjacent to it.

I had a better question then 2.....what happens when you run out of trucks and you have no rail line. I imagine that it means all supply movement stops.

2. Depot to Depot is ships or rail only.

2a. Theoretically yes - the system should adjust truck allocation and some units close to depots don't need trucks. Also the rule at 20.1.7.1 on emergency vehicle use comes into effect.

That was nice, Red Lancer. Let's bomb some more.
