Not sure if I can move ground units from the East Coast USA to Cape Town. Can this be done?

Mundy -> RE: Moving from East Coast USA to Cape Town (6/10/2015 2:02:32 PM)
Yep, put them in strategic mode. It will even let you send them there if they're still under a restricted command.

Mundy -> RE: Moving from East Coast USA to Cape Town (6/10/2015 2:11:05 PM)
Yes, they still can't board a ship at this point.

HansBolter -> RE: Moving from East Coast USA to Cape Town (6/10/2015 3:21:43 PM)
It does mean you can get units you plan to buy out started on the journey while still saving toward the buyout.

Click on Set Destination Hex. Click on Cape Town. A Y/N confirmation box will appear. Click Y. The LCU will arrive at CT still in Move mode. You save 4-6 days packing and unpacking.

Unless you are going to invade somewhere from Cape Town, wouldn't you need to put the troops in Strategic Mode to get them on the map?

I virtually never move troops by ship in Strat mode. Occasionally into India where they're immediately going thousands of miles once they land. But I accept the space inefficiency to gain the pack time as well as not have an ugly surprise when I land.

LargeSlowTarget -> RE: Moving from East Coast USA to Cape Town (6/11/2015 3:47:08 PM)
Aren't there penalties on disruption, fatigue and morale when moving LCUs in amphib TFs over long distances?

Mundy -> RE: Moving from East Coast USA to Cape Town (6/11/2015 3:51:58 PM)
That was my impression.

quote: ORIGINAL: Mundy That was my impression. I've never checked to see if those factors change while in the wormhole. Out of it and the trip is no longer than many in the game. If they need to recover when they land so be it. I'd rather they recover than have to fight in Strat mode. Play it however you like.

(And the comments about disruption are another factor to consider.)

Don't the troops arrive in Cape Town in 37 days or so? This non-ship move equals the off-map move by ships doing 2 hexes per phase/4 hexes per day. You can get to Cape Town faster using ships for off-map movement.

True- but you can start them moving without buying them out first which if you plan it properly- saves you time.
