Reinforcements

 

Reinforcements are available for many Transport Missions.

 
 

Requesting Reinforcements:

Select the Load Transport icon (top left). This opens the Transport Menu (left side) and the Reinforcements Menu (right side).

 

Loading Reinforcements:

 Select from any of the available reinforcements, by clicking on each unit box. This will load them into the transport.

   

Launching the Transport:

 

Select the Launch Transport button to send the transport to the mission site.

 
   

Reinforcement Time:

 

This is how long it takes the transport to fly from the base to the mission site. This varies according to the distance to the mission site and prevailing weather conditions.

 
   

Compromised Landing Zone:

 

A landing zone becomes compromised whenever there are enemy units present in the LZ area. If a transport cannot land at a compromised LZ, it will hover above until the LZ is clear. As soon as the LZ is clear, the transport will come down immediately and drop off the reinforcements.

 
   

Transport Missions and the Order Reticule

 

During transport missions you still have access to all of the facilities at your base.

 

Manufacture

Any units manufactured are available for use as reinforcements during the mission, or can be stockpiled for use on your return.

 

Building

Trucks can only build defensive structures when on Transport Missions. Send trucks as part of your first transport group to build gun towers and defenses that protect the landing zone from being compromised.

   

Research

Artifacts and research topics can be researched and used when on transport missions.

 

Design

New units can be designed and manufactured. If time permits they can even be shipped to the mission site in the transport as reinforcements.
