Lokasenna, thank-you. There isn't a load troops only option on the pick up unit screen but you could select it from the load troops screen before selecting the pick up option. Is that what one is supposed to do? Not sure what you mean by this, quote:
keep in mind that in some situations, TFs will go at mission speed for two phases, effectively moving at full speed but without burning fuel or accumulating damage like they would from a full speed run I thought mission speed meant proceed at cruise speed except for when the mission required full speed and that the full speed phase accumulated damage and burned fuel. When do you get to move at full speed but not burn fuel? I suspect I fell foul of this statement in section 6.2.5 of the manual, "Fast Transports, except those that are moving toward friendly bases not under enemy air threat." This in discussing the occasions when a fast run in is employed. I think the game engine may have decided there was no air threat and a fast run was not needed. I still don't understand why it didn't perform an evacuation as per 6.3.3.4 of the manual. Agreed, that being able to stand off and then select a pick-up troops option at sea is what I wanted to do. The same as you can for bombardments.
