I have 3 questions and decided to put them all together to save on space and time.
1. Is it possible to move only the turret of the tank?
Sometimes I wish to fire at the enemy 90 degrees left (or right) but keep my forward armor facing front. Now, my whole tank rotates and I get the show I want but the enemy also opfires to my side.
2. I play with 1 company of tanks only and I decided to expand the core before moving to another front. But when I try the expand core option I get a weird glitch. New units are not arranged properly! They get G0, G1, H2, H3, H4, H5, I6....
The designations are not being properly set (there should be H0, I0...) Am I doing something wrong? Or can I do something about this?
3. I got a river crossing mission, so I bought some barges for my tanks. When I tried to deploy them I found that the river bank is outside my deployment range. How can I deploy the barges in the water or what is the correct procedure? I am trying to spend as little points as possible so the enemy wouldn't get huge number of units, but perhaps I have to invest on some trucks to carry them to water?
Thank you in advance.

1) Right click on an empty hex to turn the turret (or turn a gun or rifle section) and see the view in that direction.
Or use the "T" key dialogue to select the desired target, turret will point at the selected target.
Hull may turn anyhow on firing if there is a hull main gun (e.g. Lee/Grant or Char B 75mm casement) or target is close infantry and it decides to use a BMG on them, or in reaction to return fire from enemy units.
2) No idea what you are talking about here. Only explanation might be that you have deleted some formations thus causing gaps?. Or you have not fixed some destroyed units yet.
3) Solo barges are for scenario designers, or if you think you need more barges than the auto-bought ones in a beach assault. The
barge carrier is what you need here - it comes loaded with a barge which is deployed by attempting to "drive" it into deep water.
See Game Guide -> playing a single battle -> Battle type matrix -> section on "River crossing assault", sentence beginning "All attacker infantry squads carry a rubber raft.."
Also Game Guide -> Frequently Asked Questions -> "How do I deploy a barge or raft?"
