Join
You can join two units of the same type into one unit if both units have been
damaged. The newly formed unit has the combined amount of fuel and ammo of
the individual units, but that number cannot exceed the maximum amount for that
unit type.To join units, move one unit onto a space occupied by a unit of the same
type and touch Join on the command menu. Joining ends the turn for both units.
Load
Transport units have the ability to carry other units. They can carry units with low
movement ranges farther than normal, even allowing them to cross otherwise
impassable terrain. To load a unit, select it and move it onto a space occupied by a
transport unit. Next, touch Load on the command menu. You can place the cursor on
a transport vehicle to view intel on the units being carried.
• Units being transported are not damaged if the transport vehicle is fired upon.
However, if a transport is destroyed while carrying another unit, that unit is also
destroyed.
• Transports can continue to load units even after they have been ordered to Wait.
Drop
Loaded units can, of course, be unloaded. First, use the cursor to move the transport
unit to the desired location. If the transport unit stops in terrain that allows for the
unloading of troops, Drop will appear in the command menu. When you touch Drop,
a cursor will appears that will allow you to choose where you want to unload a unit.
If the transport is carrying two units, you must choose which unit you'll unload.
Dive
Submarines are the only units with the ability to dive. The only units that can attack
submerged submarines are cruisers and other submarines..

Hide
Stealth fighters are the only units with cloaking technology that allows them to hide.
When cloaked, stealth fighters can only be attacked by other fighter jets.
Repair
Black boats are units that are capable of using war funds to repair damaged units in
the field of battle. They also simultaneously supply those units with fuel and ammo.
Explode
Black bombs are the only units capable of exploding. The bombs explode upon
command, damaging all units within the blast radius.
Send
The send command is used in dual-front DS Battles to transfer
units from bases and factories on the main front to the
secondary front. Units are typically sent to the vicinity of the
secondary front HQ. If a unit can't be sent to the secondary
front, a notice will appear.
• In some DS Battles, the area of the secondary front that
units are sent to can vary.
Wait
Choose this command when you do not want the unit to take any action.
