P.Hausser -> Ship "Follow" Option (4/8/2010 8:13:12 AM)

Will it relieblly work to set up following order:


TF 100 follow TF 150
TF 150 follow TF 120
TF 120 follow TF 290


And then have them all reliebly move together ?

Ever heard about Murphy's law?

So if this is an operation that may change the outcome of the war I'd think about a less sophisticated plan. [8D]

reliable? no. working most of the times? yes. going wrong, when it hurts? probably.

Just have them all follow TF 290

Ah, in the UV days, it was like holidays in hell...

It was a problem when you were loading different ground units on different TFs... I remember I found this workaround. When loading in some port, TF A was following TF B... and... TF B was following TF A! Result? At least it worked [8D]

Just to jump in on this with a question, what would the best way to handle different TF from different ports to meet up & follow each other to the same destination in AE? Say I've got troops in Nouema TF1, Efate TF2 & Suva TF3 all set to invade Lunga, how would best way be to have them all arrive at Lunga at the same time using the meet & follow commands as when I've tried to use them they've not worked as I thought they should. The only way so far I've got things to work is to have them all go to the same hex w/ remain on station then set destination once they're all there.
