I encourage you to ask all the questions you have.  This is generally a friendly forum group.  Questions make veteran players think about the topic when replying, encourages discussions about the topic and helps to keep the forum active. For every question you ask there are probably several lurkers who have a similar question.  You assist other players by starting CM game play related topics.   Below are what I have in my notes that I update as I learn new information.      
Below is my drill for a same turn infantry dismount and then the vehicle moves. 
1. Order infantry to Dismount.1 
2. Give infantry appropriate movement order2 away from the dismount location.
3. Give vehicle appropriate movement order.
4. After Dismount is completed vehicle & infantry will go their separate ways.For
1) Dismount cannot be cancelled and must be given before any movement order or the troops will remain on the vehicle. Troops can’t Dismount from Paused vehicle but may mount. 2) After dismounting infantry will begin movement order.
 
Below is my drill for a same turn infantry mount and then the vehicle moves. 
1. Pause vehicle appropriate time. (5sec. per A/S Inf. must travel in open terrain)  
2. Give vehicle appropriate movement order.1
3. Fast Inf. into vehicle using one waypoint.2 (Inf. create the boarding waypoint)  
Notes: 1) Tanks with riders use Move speed regardless of movement order given. 2) Once boarding begins vehicle will wait.  If the Pause expires before boarding begins the vehicle will leave without the infantry.

Congratulations indeed.  And you only got to No.8, while I didn't even get to risk a dodgy No.2 (so to speak).

Something to try: Open up the editor. Toss in a mounted infantry platoon (or company). Make the map about 800m x 800m. Give yourself 4 hours. Call it, "Test - Catch a Ride".
Save it, then play it. See what types of movement commands work and what don't. (Move, load. Load, move. Move, unload. Unload, move.) 
After ~30 minutes, you'll have gained a huge amount of insight into how this works and the timing involved.

You are most kind, I can only hope the committee agree with you.
I would however like to check whether we are playing under Tudor Court Rules or some similar variant?

Co-ordinating that kind of shoot and scoot (or indeed, pick up the squad, drop them off and do something else) is difficult to get right, and planning to do that over the course of one set of orders is liable to end up leaving you vulnerable - if you mess up a timing then you can end up in trouble.

So, specifically:

If you give passengers a movement order in a moving vehicle, they'll wait until the vehicle stops before executing the order. This won't work for vehicles which the passengers are also crewing (some humvees, for example).

One nice trick here is that if your movement is the Assault command, the squad will pile out of the vehicle, and then half of it will run off towards the waypoint, with the other half taking up positions around the transport, and then following on. There are some situations where that's pretty useful.
 

If you give troops a movement order that embarks a moving vehicle, they'll wait until it stops to get onboard, in a similar way as the above. Actually co-ordinating a short stop can be tough, and is liable to end up with the passengers running out into the open if you get it wrong, so I'd suggest doing the pick up and continuation over different turns, if possible.


In general terms, you don't really want to be in a position where you need fancy embark or disembarking sequences. Your situational awareness around a transport is always pretty bad (even in a modern vehicle), and obviously the troops are vulnerable as they transition. That means that doing this safely and slowly is the better plan, even for IFVs. That often means using terrain or smoke to mask these manoeuvres.

Ok - I understand ... it is really simple as @Bulletpointsaid - give the transport as many waypoints as you like to get it to the desired end waypoint.  Select your embarked unit and just give it a suitable move order.  If you want it to assault then give it an assault order for instance and just click on the location that you want it to assault.  There is no need to bother with the disembark order.  See image below.

Two points for the Puma in a Norman street. And I think that given the fact that you are the first to actually ask about Mornington Crescent you might deserve bonus points. "And what do points mean?" "Points mean prizes". As someone with far more talent than myself and his mates often said.

Can anyone join this party?  I didn't get the invite so might get kicked out but here goes:

It's in Normandy and I would argue it's in a street?

Haha. Not really, I’ve done the brush and crops 1 to 4 doodads, but haven’t done final checks on them yet. As I said, I’m struggling a bit to get the flax crop 5 and 6 doodads looking right - flax is quite difficult to depict well without making it look like a row of toothbrush bristles. I think I have a solution though, so am pressing on with them. Once those are done I just have the marsh doodads to make with some minor revisions to the first release and we’re done. If I do get time at the weekend I may bundle up a few of the newer pieces but I’m loathe to release lots of small packs as I don’t want to get into too many versions floating around confusing folks. Not that much to do and I reckon it’ll be ready before Ire & Rubble 😉

Agreed beer is the answer my friend.  Or wine.  Anyway what matters is that we have fun with the game and BFC makes a living 😉

You are correct. I had a beer and think correctly. 😅🤣
0,0001% is same as multiplying something with 0,000001. But 780.000 sounds better 😇

What about 'don't play the game based on pre-conceived concepts of superiority'?
First go at Gog and Magog in CMRT my King Tiger crews certainly didn't thank me for doing so.  Even on the second attempt the loss of optics was something to behold (pun intended).

@StieliAlpha I think this post from @IanL answers your question?

I find that if you print screen and alt-tab to paint it will work eventually. Usually I have to make a couple of attempts.

There's nothing quite like opening a wargame box and sifting through the contents.  Even if you have to earn it first, but as you say it can be enhanced by having to wait.  Enjoy it and let us know how you get on with the games 😉

Haha, yeah, no wonder, I was shelling you guys with boardgames.
I got Silent Victory, D-Day at Peleliu and The Doolittle Raid. Only opened Silent Victory - my wife have given a green light to open that one and that one alone as a reward to me for cleaning up the garage. There are two more day -long things I will do around the house and for each I get to open another game. Fun, useful arrangement, haha. Also makes the whole arrival more valuable due to accumulated positive tension. 
So I opened it and loved the content and then she came and I explained her the brief history of US submarine warfare in the Pacific and how it relates to this game. She said: "Oh but rhis is horrible, you can die in the submarine in this game!?" Hehehe. We went over the components, the medals, the historic captains and showed her where you put punched counters and she went: "Oh,  I wanted to throw away those plastic covers!" She thought my newly arrived counter trays were just some fillers for the games to stay in the box. Thanks (insert any diety you worship) she didn't! 
 
 

Sorry to hear that, but very glad you're okay.  You and all contributers did a great job.  I've just been playing a winter QB and the visuals and sound are fantastic.  But yes, +1 to the 'any the day now' 🙂

Vacillator,

Welcome aboard!

Your remark about Kursk photos completely threw me, for I had no idea they were there below the Canadians. Agree that a fair number of Kursk pics shown are far from unknown, but many others were new to me. Was especially intrigued by the WEspes at POkrova, having recently read Zamulin's excellent Destroying The Myth, which covers action there in the context of that whopping chunk of the entire battle.

Regards,
John Kettler

+1 to that.  I'm a Slitherine customer and a very long term Steam user.  I have no issues with either.  Combat Mission is however the best of its type by a long way, so I hope this works out well and feeds more money to BFC for development and of course their general good 🙂.  Nice to have such active involvement from Steve and everyone else on the forum as well, hope that continues.

Your picture made me laugh, my Panther looked the same, lost both its main gun and its tracks but thanks to the infantry survived to hopefully fight another day.

This fall will be the 5 year anniversary of the CMRT Winter Mod. I had a heart attack in mid-November and during the recovery decided to honcho up the efforts of many fine folks in putting it together.
I still love playing it but definitely look forward to the real deal here. Any.Day.Now.

Well the first time I loaded up a QB with snow was just to check it was there.  However I liked the modded snow, with whistling wind, so much I am now playing a QB on a huge map with it on.  It doesn't melt but my panzers seem to bog a lot.  All have managed to free themselves so far...
