I am playing Panzer General II. I've come to the Axis invasion of Malta.

My problem is I have no idea how deploy my ground troops. I start with Italian battle ships. I've even downloaded the manual but it does not explain how to deploy troops and tanks onto the island. Maybe my copy is bugged?

Could someone please explain to me how to get my troops and tanks onto the island? Thank you!

The troops are put on ships around the island. The ships can be moved to the area you wish and troops can be then put on land. So you cannot put troops on the land to begin with.

Thanks for the reply.

Could you explain in detail how this is done?

I have tried everything (that I can think of), and it's just frustrating the heck out of me. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

There are areas in the sea area where you can deploy your troops just like in the ground area in other missions. You can check these from the strategic map for instance. Once you drop your troops in this deploy area they take the form of a boat. This is what you can move, and next to ground you can move them mobile again during the next turn.

You can of course play this part through by not dploying troops and lose the battle, and continue to the next battle, if your version does not work for some reason.

In several battles beforehand checking the deploy areas from the strategic map helps to find a possible route to surprise the enemy by a smaller force or putting your tanks there for the iron fist.

Those areas are highlighted on the Right side of the island. You choose your units and deploy like normal into the highlight area as Kai has mentioned and they show up as ships. If you have fallshirmjagers, they will deploy as transport aircraft.

I never really liked PGII, as much as the original Panzer General. It does look better, but the original just seemed much more playable to me, and in general you commanded more units on the battlefield. Despite the lack of realism, both are quite good time wasters.

I'm having the same problem. My German forces won't deploy during the Malta campaign.

Not even over the ocean? You can check from the strategic map where you can deploy your troops as the colour there is deeper. After the first round you deploy your orginal troops you have to win a "flag" in order to put new troops on the island.
