Loading Multiple Vehicles onto LST/LCM/Hovercraft

I'm playing the Canadian/Ecuador campaign and the first "fighting" scenario requires a beach assault. Now the scenario provides LSTs, LCMs, and LCACs, however I can't load more than one vehicle at a time onto the ships. Infantry isn't an issue but tanks, APCs, jeeps, etc. seem to be.

Now I know in real life a LCAC can carry two M1s or their equivalents, but the game isn't allowing me to.

Is this a game flaw or am I missing some way to load them? I've checked the game manual and FAQ and am not seeing it.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

1) A beach assault mission provides you with the landing craft needed, auto-bought and auto-loaded in a beach assault. You do not have to buy any yourself (but can manually buy some extras, if so desired).

2) Load multiples onto any vehicle by
- selecting the unit to be loaded
- now hit L key
- then click on the unit to be loaded onto

(Since hitting L on the loaded unit will unload it).

3) Some landing craft and others with large load capacity can carry several vehicles

4) AFAIR - vehicles must be unloaded of pax themselves in SP games if loaded as pax. (Cannot load a loaded BTR-60 on a barge).

Hey Andy...

1) This scenario doesn't autoload (campaign) so it was up to me to do it.

2) Tried loading multiple vehicles the way you mentioned and it didn't work. Did for infantry however (which I've been doing).
