Sea Transport Management

[TheJ0ke]

Hi all,

I've been playing the game for a while, but I'm still not sure exactly how to delegate transfer land units from one ship to another without having to move the entire fleet. I've figured out that all the units will stay with the last ship in the fleet but would definitely like to know if there's some alternate way to choose which ship(s) the transported united are attached to. This used to just be a minor annoyance, but now that the computer decided that it was a good idea to stick a ship in an attrition zone as a midway point to its destination, my main, level 4 ninja is about to be unceremoniously buried at sea. I have another fleet nearby which could easily merge, take him, and leave (as the other fleet is out of moves) for safer waters, but therein lies the problem, I can't make the fleet take him.

Thanks,

merge, then scupper the other ship?

You can work a number of tricks with this and, if you have bucket brigades ready, move armies around the map twice (in theory).

But the main thing is this:

Always quicksave if you are moving near any attrition zone, and/or
Always try to leave a little wiggle room, if there's any question
