Status: offline 		Hi, I have just received this unit. As you can see, their objective is Rabaul. I have setted this Objective by looking in another regiment of this division figuring out when it arrives and then clicking on the screen.

I did the same with the 4th Marine Regiment, which will arrive in (44 ??) I plan them now for Guam, hopefully that I will really need it there.

Is it a cheat or WAD ? I mean, if a unit is already there but not yet set to PTO they still can plan for this objective. on the other hand this way is denied if you go to the info screen clicking around the units to arrive.

any commens ?

4th Marines are already in the Pacific. The 4th was formed from the Marine Raider Battalions. You should see all your Raider Battalions withdrawing about the time the 4th Marines arrive.

Also, Marine Para Bns were used as cadre for 5th Marine Division, also set to disband that time.

The player can make some decisions, have the chance they are screwed up, or have fresh forces arrive prepped for a relevant target.

Can you only do this for sub units.

But the question from the OP remains... is this cheesy?
