On a somewhat related note, I was pondering that on the client there is 
no means for distinguishing between units. On the server, each unit has 
a unique ID (punit->id). On the client, your unit is always 'Your 
Warriors', or whatever. The loading dialog would have to provide all the 
information that enables distinction between otherwise identical 
transports: unit type, veteran level, hit points remaining, movement 
points remaining, *plus* all that information for all the passengers of 
the transport. Complex. Do we instead need a way of assigning names to 
units, so messages and these orders can simply refer to the names ('Load 
onto your Transport S.S.Titanic')?
