Don,
Are you telling us that you actually get a chance to PLAY this game?

It's rare.... but I do when I can. ( I have to use my special 26-hours-in-a-day clock though....)

As for the 1st campaign, getting all the perimeter Victory Locations is easy, as they are 100% undefended (unless you count the opels, lol). Send either a scout tank, scout car or barring either of those, a jeep with cav scouts up the top and around the back. That's what scouts are there for!

As for my question: I'm currently playing the 2nd mission. I bought green inf and I'm putting them down on the first wave like any good commander would do. However, I'm coming back for my M4s, and they just won't load on the (empty) LCM, even though they're in the same hex. Help! (can include save file if needed)

I won't have time to test this until the weekend

Send the save and I'll look at this. I tried that campaign sceanrio and they unloaded on the beaches OK then I went back and loaded the tanks from the "ships" OK as well. I loaded them from the adjacent hex ( barges will load that way )

Err, excuse my noobishness. I didn't know barges loaded from adjacent hexes. Carry on :-)

They load from the same hex too....

Hmm. Maybe that's the bug. I already lost (immobilized) one M4 trying to get in the same hex. I'll probably show myself to be an even bigger newb, but I'll include the savegame anyway. If there is no "bug", then I apologize for wasting your time.

Barges are allowed to load from alongside to allow for the fact they can be in deep water (e.g. beside a jetty) which land units cannot enter.

If you have solid land beside the barge even if it is in -1 water it is better to load from there than to try driving into the shallow water where you may bog down.

Just a quick potential bug report: 2nd map of the Roundhammer campaign. i had 3 of the DUKW's deployed on the bottom line of the map, when I clicked Start Game they were not on the map and the bottom line of the map was empty. In the army list 3 DUKWs are listed as Ready.
I will try replicating the issue, if it is consistent i will post a save.
This is very easy for players to deal with if it is consistent, so is not a dramatic issue.
