IPad: what's loaded on that truck?

Post by sightreader »

When I tap on a truck, how can I tell what unit is loaded on it? I was very disappointed to run a truck up for an assault only to find it was carrying a field gun rather than an infantry unit!

In addition if you hover over the infantry unit icon it will tell you if it is a scout, SMG infantry, etc. IIRC.

Hover isn't possible on an iPad? Do you mean tap/click on it?

Sorry. I was speaking from the point of view of a PC owner. I am surprised the IPad does not have something to allow you to hover.

On the iPad, just press and hold on the unit icon for a description. If you release, it will vanish.
