Capture Planet ... Strategic Combat ??
 

I tried to capture a planet via strategic combat.
I defeated the defenses with a fleet, moved on and brought in my assault transports.
I selected strategic combat, and my transport
ran to cower in on the edge of the map.
How so.....?
I selected as strategy 1st capture planet,
2.opt.wep.range, i had troops on board.
i tried different strategies in 2.strat.slot.
Transport armed with pd 4.
in tactical no problem when manually moved.
resolve combat he hides in corner.
what am i doing wrong ????? is it broken.
btw, is it possible to do a multiple drop
when i have more transports.

The 1.27 mod was supposed to fix that problem. If you have that mod then send your .gam file to Aaron. So that problem can be fixed. As far as I can see you are doing it right!!

You need to change the AI's Strats to "Capture Planet" and you should be fine or do as I do, yourself I like to drop troops the use of Desert Storm (overwelming firepower) gets em every time (make sure your troops can shoot more than 1 time (red face)

Was your SHIP strategy set to "Capture Planet" or the FLEET strategy set to "Capture Planet"? Since certain ship types can break formation & ignore the fleet strategy, maybe that's what's happening with your Troop Transport?

Thanks for the replies. :-))
I will sent my .gam fil to MM.
I think It was Ship strategie,
but I haven ´t figured it all
out yet.(Mostly i play tactical,
but that takes time)
It is possibly a slight error
on my part in settings or other,
but i think i have done it right.

Again, thanks for your help.
