Playing my first game, and having reached July 1863, I wonder why (apparently) there have been no naval engagements. In addition to my beginning ships, nearly all with better guns now, I have built one frigate and one ironclad. I'm blockading three CSA ports, have one fleet at sea looking for trouble, and every fleet is set to seek battle (there's a second button selected that seems to matter, but I cannot recall what it is). The CSA has gotten several naval upgrades; I see no map icons (other than blockade runners at sea) suggesting that any CSA port has ships at anchor, but they must be somewhere. Have I failed to click an option, do you think? If I RTFM correctly, USA ships cannot engage single blockade runners at sea. Must a player attack a port to see if there are any ships there?
