Do yo need to do anything specific to initiate the building of a Base?

I am currently playing one of the longer scenarios that starts in early 43. In late February, I invaded the Russel Islands (pretty much according to history). I presently have an infantry regiment, two engineer and a base unit there with a load of supplies. However, after a month there is still no base at all. In fact the little dot is still "red."

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks.

Oops. i just read the FAQs above. It says that you must first "capture" the dot. I've directed my infantry unit to use a "shock attack" a number of times so far, but it doesn't attack. So....?

Status: offline 		An empty dot falls instantly to an attack. Are you sure you used deliberate or shock vs bombard? Basically all it takes is 1 guy with a gun to take the dot spots that do not have troops defending.

It is also possible that your troops after sitting there with no supply for a month are completely disabled. Bring up the detail panel for the unit and check that it has troops left that can attack.

You will see something like

Army Squad (12) x 0

That means the unit has 12 squads but they are all disabled and unable to attack.

Status: offline 		the unit you're using must have an "Assault" Value to capture a base
