Men of War: Assault Squad inventory transfers, cover and infantry supplies
Manage equipment at soldier level and prepare a squad before an exposed crossing.
Edition covered
Original Men of War: Assault Squad (2011) for PC, with original publisher screenshots. Controls refer to the original PC manual and can be rebound. Assault Squad 2 and its roster changes are outside this guide.
Use the two inventory panels
Select a soldier, use Examine Inventory and choose a body, container, vehicle or another soldier. The panels show both inventories so you can transfer the needed equipment. Check ammunition compatibility before taking an appealing weapon.
| Item or action | Purpose | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Compatible ammunition | Keep a weapon firing | Match weapon and caliber |
| Bandages | Treat wounded soldiers | Soldier stops to use them |
| Repair kit | Fix repairable vehicle damage | Clear the work area |
| Fuel container | Move fuel between vehicles | Have an accessible fuel source |
| Examine Inventory | Open transfer panels | Search the correct soldier or object |
Carry the item that solves the obstacle
Bandages, repair kits, fuel containers and grenades have separate jobs. Supplies occupy inventory space, so give useful tools to a soldier who can reach the relevant target. A distant repair kit does not help a stranded vehicle under fire.
| Order or stance | Benefit | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Take cover | Uses a suitable object | Can still be flanked |
| Crouch | Lower profile and improved accuracy | Does not stop all incoming fire |
| Prone | Reduced visibility and exposure | Still vulnerable to nearby explosives |
| Hold fire | Avoid unnecessary shooting | The unit will not automatically defend itself |
Use the cover command on real cover
The cursor indicates suitable cover when placed over scenery. Crouching and going prone also affect visibility and accuracy, but they do not make an open field safe. Move between positions with a plan for the next firing angle.
Heal after reducing incoming fire
Bandaging stops the soldier from moving and firing during treatment. Move the casualty behind cover and keep another unit watching the approach. Recover health before the next crossing rather than treating an exposed soldier as a stationary target.
