Title: Is there a simple way to load large ground formations into troopships?
Post by: Panpiper on January 22, 2021, 01:51:30 PM

There is a one-shot movement order for unloading or dropping all the ground forces carried by a fleet. However as far as I can see, there is no way to load a large formation other than loading each separate unit one by one. In the case of say, one of my divisions, that is no less than 40 separate units joined into a single command hierarchy. (Heaven forbid I try to mount an invasion requiring say, three such divisions!)) Is there any way to issue the movement order so that it will pick up ALL the units in that hierarchy, or is the only way to do it to spend several minutes moving each individual unit one by one?

When you select the "Load Ground Unit" order, there is a checkbox at the bottom that will load all subunits if you select to load a superior formation. In this case, if you click the checkbox and then load the division HQ it should automatically load all the subordinate formations as long as there is tonnage to do so.

Thank you for being the godsend to a blind idiot.

Been there Brother. I still get embarrassed recalling how many months I had played before I discovered the 'Load all' toggle on the combat tab. After individually loading hundreds of missiles every time there was a large combat.....sigh
