I need tactical help

Just in case anyone is interested in the above book by David Isby, it was Armies of NATO's central Front. Not sure any of the tactical details given are any good as they are based mainly on brigade level battles and are pretty general. As Mobhack states, it covers all the NATO armies on the central front. No Italy Norway etc.

It's helpful if you are into putting together OOB's and looking for weapons data maybe. Or are new to the subject and want to know what an M60A3 is for ex.

Not sure how easy it would be to find either of those volumes.

Q for Mobhack. Did you find that Sov union one recently? I have the NATO one and have been looking for the companion for years. Just wondering if they are still to be found.

OOPs no need to reply to that last, Amazon (2nd hand) have the soviet union one for between �40 and �60.

I got hold of the soviet one for �25 or so a year back. Some second hand bookshop on the net.

The NATO Central Front one I did not search for - it was rather generic since it covered several armies in te same book.

that gives me a good idea. If I have some time, I'll prepare a "Introductory guide to USSR/Warsaw Pact Tactics", specifally with SP in mind.

Just getting back into WinSPMBT and having a problem. I'm currently playing the Cold Steel Campaign. Done well with the first two battles. Came to the third where I have to use heavy helios to airlift my units to an airfield. How can I get the troops and vehicles to load onto the helios.

load/unload from a helo is exactly as with any other vehicle, as described in the tutorial, and in the "deployment screen" menu section of the GG.

Method 1 - Select the transport unit then use the "load/Unload" button or the L key, and then select the unit to load, which must be in the same hex as the transport (any hex is allowed in the deployment screen, or alongside for barges).

Method 2 - Select the passenger, then hit the load button or L key and point to the transport. Method 2 is the only way to load multiple passengers.

To load vehicles - ensure the transport has sufficient load capacity, and the vehicle to be loaded has no passengers loaded on it. Proceed as above.
