I'd like to request that when disembarking, if the port hex is not available, that the adjacent he be picked based on this order:

1. a rail hex
2. a road hex
3. the current process

For some reason, non-rail hexes tend to picked often.

Also, would it be possible to allow the exact opposite: embarking when adjacent to a port (not just inside the port). Right now unloading is unlimited but loading is limited to one unit. And if we want to keep an inf, as garrison in the port but still use the port to ship an armour out, we have to unentrench the inf. first

Not sure if it is possible to code, but that would be nice.

Ctrl + Right Mouse click on location to disembark I thought(if you have OP) Issue is movement into port reduces OP to 0.

No way, that's been there all this time! I'll have to check k it out when I get to my PC. Out of curiosity, if it is a fleet in port with multiple land/air units, how does it know which one?

I must say I tried and have no idea how to make it work. The moment I press the disembark button (the anchor), the unit disembark immediately before I have time to do anything else with the mouse

I tried holding ctrl before pressing the butting but still it disembark immediately. There must be something obvious I can not see?

It seems to be a joke! (:
I try too but nothing.
Maybe it's a suggestion?

No Joke. As I mentioned before you need OP. The reason peeps forgot about it is some version back, a fleet entering a port will have its OP dropped to 0. Forgot why.
Here is a vid. I will place both on rail.

I am hoping Alvaro can make it work again when you first move into the port. Fingers crossed.

Maybe for a unit next to a port you can load it on a transport with the same keys and mouse click.

Append:
It was ncc1701e idea. Found the link:

Thanks for the video. I did however try to do it with OP like in the vid (I just loaded an inf. and tried it in the same port with 2 OP) and still there was no option.

Hopefully the option will come back eventually.

At a minimum, my priorities will get the unit on transportation hexes like rail/road if possible.

I'm hoping the Ctrl+Right Click can be fixed the way it was before. This way, as long as you pick a valid hex, your unit should disembark where you want it too.

Confirmed that it works, but it required Ops points, unlike the disembark button.

Unfortunately, that makes it pretty useless. I can get the units moved further by disembarking randomly and moving them next turn. Using CTRL-Right Click requires moving into port 1 turn, disembarking next turn, moving turn 3.

So I agree - it seems a change is needed to allow CTRL-Right Click disembark to work as long as the unit was eligible for disembarking.

Thanks for your video, even a fool like me learned how to do it.
