Very often second line troops with low or even zero assault strength arrive first and get slaughtered by hostile forces. This happens although all the units left the departure hex at the same time.

There may still be a problem with the "follow all" command, if the unit everone is following is currently loading, unloading and/or being transported by air. Folks may get confused as to where to go.

How are the various air transfer bugs coming along. Many been being squashed?

Thanks for your help....

Bye....

Status: offline 		In the last round of testing 1.7x, I found that you could use an unloading fragment as the leader of the "all follow".
When you did, units would disappear or get bounced back to where they started after moving into the destination hex. [The actual fragment number could change as new fragments merged with the old.]

I >think< that in the latest beta you can no longer follow or include a fragment while it is unloading.

Although i've never used it (due to bug concerns) i've been told that the lead unit selected should be the one most likely to be slowest, that way the should arrive more or less simultaneously. Of course, selecting which ones are slowest can be problematic. Some people say that artillery units are the slowest (which is my experience) while other claim they are the fastest!

Your mileage may vary...

Status: offline 		My observations from when I've set units to move from A to B via "March All" or individual march orders to the same place.

1) For long distance (10+ hex) marches along rail lines, small stacks of units will consistently arrive at their destination in the order: artillery - infantry - armor. Fatigue and disruption gained during movement may be a factor in this.

2) If I order large stacks of units to move, the first half-dozen or so will all get full movement on the first turn while the rest will only do half the mileage. The behaviour is consistent with some form of a "movement stacking" or road/rail capacity limit. I haven't tried this with very large stacks to see if there is a further diminishing returns effect.
