I have just received my setup in this game and already I'm confused.
How do you transfer items other than food from the population centres to the
baggage train of an army?  You need to do this when seeking to improve
troops by manufacturing new weapons and/or armour but I'm blowed if I can
see how to do it!

Hi Martin --

I don't actually know how you transfer leather and bronze and
all that.  The reason for this is it is a BAD BAD IDEA!!

It's a waste of orders.  Just make new troops using the metals.
You can never have enough troops in this game (well, some exceptions.
which position are you?).  Send the old badly equipped guys to their
death instead of wasting valuable orders.

---------------------------

Upgrading armor on starting troops does have benefits, especially if the
troops have a high morale and/or training rank.  Making armor or weapons
will automatically put it in the baggage train.  Upgrade orders (370 &
375) are then used.
