I thought I covered this in PM? I'll take screenies tonight on how to do it.

Move transport fleet into territory next to land territory.
If you have 3 Divisions you want to load, you must have 3 transport ships.
Select the land units.
Right click directly on the naval fleet. (AKA issues a move order like you would to move to neighboring land province, only you must click directly on the fleet - clicking on the 'ocean' will not work).
Your troops will then take a 'few hours' game time to load onto the ship.
Once loaded, highlight to select your transport fleet.
Right click on the province that borders the ocean that you wish to reinforce.
Transports will move to that province and automatically unload troops.

I found out most things just by trial and error. I recently found out you need 6 reactors to build your first nuke, how to use paratroops and other stuff.

I find getting them on in a provice with atleast a dock is easier. Just have the men and ships in the same place selct the unit and click the load onto ship button at the bottom of the unit info panel. Similar to paras.

Sultan, first of all welcome to the forum!
Second, what is your favourite nation to play? Romania is the best, it is easy to make them powerful, and Canada has a strong position (I.E. The Atlantic ocean between it and Germany)

Besides the world powers, I myself prefer Italy. It is not a triggered belligerent of the war, and it has a foothold on both continents to begin with, linked easily. The shape of the country is also defensible, with mountains to the north, and an entire natural choke-point the whole way up.

Finland is also one of my favorites.

Czechoslovakia is also fun to play as. I built myself up a large army (Rivalling Germany's) up to 1938, and did not give them the Sudetenland. But they (Germany) didn't declare war on me so I might wait until they attack Poland (Hopefully Britain will ally with them, I am allied with Britain so it would mean war with Germany). The only downside is my Polish border is not well defended, so I hope the combined forces of me, Poland and France will be able to hold tight.

my favourite nation is persia since i have spent most of my HOI2 time playing this nation, trying to device the perfect strategy for it, and only now succeeding there is nothing like taking a minor nation and turning it into a monster.

I tried downloading the latest patch for this game, although now there is an "error in the DB", if anyone can help me.

I have a game going as the Germans, who i play almost all the time. Its Febuary of 1940, I recently wrapped up fighting in france, I already wipped the polish, and have pulled most of my divisions back to the russian front where by the end of this year i should begin fighting. I have pulled in most of Europe into the fighting. Ive got Nat. Spain, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Italy, the new Vichy France, and in Asia Japan and Siam. I love tryin to get as many nations on my side as possible. The allies got so many, I think its only fair I do too lol. I also have 7 divisions fixing to attack denmark and norway. My airforce is pretty good, Frances airforce is nearly gone and britian has mostly interceptors cuz i took out their tac. bombers. My navy is small but good, the wolf packs are making a killing and I have 5 aircraft carriers, no battleships yet.
Unfortunately, but not suprisingly, Italy is getting their tail whipped in Africa. So I need to get some of my transports around spain to send a few divisions to help them out. The worst thing about Germany, and the thing i love, is that you are constantly attacked on all sides. It makes things... interesting lol. And not to mention, Italy's navy is half destroyed already lol.
Also unfortunately, Im afriad the Japs are going to bring the US in early. Im not quite ready for that, but last time i played as Germany, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor i think in the beggining of 1941 instead of the end. More than half a yr. early! Hopefully it wont come to that. Ive only got about 9 inf. divisions in france and around 7 garrisons there so if the US started bombing them and coming early i dont no how well my western front will hold up.
All in all, id say things are just getting fun =D lol. Ive had the game for a while, and ive never played MP but id b interested in it. Even without it though, the game is awesome.
