Status: offline 		How do you evacuate troops from a hot beachhead? I invaded Roi Namur and found myself shock attacking level 4 fortified Japanese at 1-99 odds. I need to get my troops off, but amphibious TF have their 'load troops' button greyed out. What do I do? Thanks

When I tried Maloelap I had some bad luck, the armored unit landed several days ahead of everyone else, and they ended up wiped out by attrition before I could reload them.

I understand. Thanks for the help. I am off to give it a try.
