Status: offline 		I noticed that the two original Americal regiments and attached units arrive in Eastern US. Fair enough since thats were TF 6184 originated but there doesnt seem to be any requisite shipping for it. In fact I can't find any AP's in the reinforcement que that arrive in the Eastern US. I am left to assume you need to use that special stategic movment option but that would basically just strand the units at Christobal. I dont feel its reasonable that a player needs to send the precious few APs he has in early 42 to pick up units that historically had their own shipping. So I guess my question is. Why with specific ship withdrawl option that is available in AE are the seven historic APs that made up TF 6184 not in the game at least temporarily? Or maybe I am just missing something? Any feed back is appreciated

Kind regards,

Strat move the units by rail from Eastern US to a west coast port, and have a few APs (with escorts) waiting for when they arrive.

All relatively fast transports

In old WitP it was tough to put these ships in because historically most were withdrawn from the theater after they delivered their troops but AE's ship withdrawl I dont know why they shouldn't be in.
