I have been playing this since it's release at the end of April. I have read the manual and all of the posts. Two things I can't figure out:
#1 The MEDIC specialization. I am doing a multiplayer scenario, Iwo Jima, as the Americans. I have the MEDIC specialization. I cannot find a medic unit listed in any unit category. Can someone point out which unit is the medic? And how it works?
#2 Still referring to the Iwo Jima scenario, When moving an infantry unit and you go to the extreme limit, the ghost image of a truck appears. If you elect to move the unit that far it changes into a truck. But sometimes it changes into some kind of light blue amphibious vehicle. When a unit changes into a truck, the next turn it is back as a walking unit. But when it changes into the light blue amphibious vehicle it does not change back into a unit on foot. And now it is vulnerable to AT fire, which in Iwo Jima there are about a thousand Jap AT units scattered everywhere. How do I manually switch it back into a unit on foot?

2) Some Marine units are equipped with amtracks. When the unit is on a coastal hexes it can switch to amphibious mode (embarking the amtrack). It can move along shallow water hexes and also cross rivers without movement penalties. See screenshot.Yolo911 wrote:I have been playing this since it's release at the end of April.

I thought there should be a button to switch the marines back to 'foot mode'. I just ran a quick hot-seat test of Iwo Jima to grab a debark screenshot, but my amtrack'ed marines auto-debarked the next turn, just like trucks... Didn't matter wether they were attacked in the previous turn or not.

Re: Two Questions
I've tried to lure the marines out of their vehicles with wine, women and song. But they refuse to walk. I hope this will be looked at and fixed. Do I need to report it somewhere else or is this good enough?
Re: Two Questions
In a campaign game medic specialization awards you additional resource points if your units are damaged but since you mentioned you are playing multiplayer I must say I didn't even know there could be specializations in such scenarios so not sure is this the same case as in campaign.Yolo911 wrote:#1 The MEDIC specialization.
