Can someone explain how this works? I want to have leaders gain experience faster so I am going to have a group of single divisions attacking one target. I would like them all to arrive there at the same time though so that I can hold the ground. If they get there individually, they will be beaten back piecemeal, and I would have been better off not attacking in the first place. How can all my attacking units arrive at the conquered province at the same time?
Select all forces, and shift click on any you don't want to take part, and click the province to attack and choose 'support attack'
Then shift click any that you don't want to actually occupy the attacked province.
With all that remain, click the province to attack and select attack, check the 'synchronise arrival' box and they will all arrive at the same time into the conquered province., obviously at the speed of the slowest unit.
If, for example, you are occupying the province as part of an encirclement, then you would maybe have a two pronged attack, getting your fastest unit there first and then synch arrive the rest as a follow on force.
Ok, Thanks!!! It has been years since I played the game. I forgot about the nifty synchronize arrival box you check. Does this seem to work most of the time, with all the synchronized divisions arriving at the same time, no matter their different speeds and organizations? There seemed to be some doubts about it on the previous page.
I have a question. maybe my game has a bug or something, but I only have the option to "synchronize arrival" when I'm giving orders to one stack. If I'm dealing with two stacks in the same province or with units in different provinces I don't have the option to synchronize. If my version of the game is malfunctioning please let me know.
Are you using the shift click method suggested by pdBravo above? (From my memory) I think if you draw a box to select your armies and then shift click on the ones you dont want, ctrl click on the target, you should be able to synchronize the arrival of those left in the box. I think the synchronize arrival check box is on the screen that comes up on the target province after you ctrl click on it.
