                                Command : TEND

NAME
   tend - Transfer commodities between ships

Level: Basic

SYNTAX
   [##:##] Command : tend <COMMODITY|'land'> <SHIP> <AMT|UNIT> <to-SHIP>

The  tend  command  allows  transfer of commodities from a particular (supply)
ship to patrol boats, submarines, battleships, etc. while at sea.

If you had cargo ship #16 which had food, and your fleet S  needed  food,  you
could resupply the entire fleet with 20 units of food by typing
   [##:##] Command : tend food 16 20 S

Requirements  are  that  the  tending  ship  must be in the same sector as the
tended ships, and it must be yours, or belong to a country that considers  you
a  friendly trading partner.  A positive <AMT> indicates the amount the tender
will give away, while a negative amount indicates the amount that  the  tender
will  try  to  extract  from each ship. (However, you cannot take goods from a
friendly ship by giving a negative amount)

Only land units with the "assault" capability may be tended between ships.  If
you  wanted  to  tend  land  unit #23 from ship #8 to ship #17, then you would
type:
   [##:##] Command : tend land 8 23 17
Besides the "assault" capability restriction, tending land units has the  same
effect as though you were simply loading the unit onto a ship.  In particular,
you may tend land units to "friendly" ships in the same sector.
