Naval Movement - 7/3/2008 11:50:16 PM

Status: offline 		I am starting a new game after winning my first campaign. I really enjoy the game.

My first game (and various starts and stops) I was able to move the various fleets and blockcade squadrons freely between sea zones during each turn. I used them as a blockading force and chase the runners.

This new game I cannot get them to move at all. I assume there is some button or switch I failed to click when I started the current campaign. I have checked the manual but cannot seem to find the right answer.

Any help is appreciated.

I am going to reload the software as maybe I have a glitch somewhere.

Status: offline 		Apologies for seeming to hijack this thread but this concerns naval movement and it did not seem worthwhile to start a new one.

How does one go about getting Fleets into the river system?  I can build gunboats for riverine operations but there are no inland ports for repairs and none of my inland shipyards allow for building Fleet containers.

Checked the manual and the Forum without getting answers so any guidance is appreciated.

Status: offline 		You can't Randomizer.  River movement is abstracted in that you get to move an extra zone if you move (entirely?) along a river.  Gunboats can only be in river provinces and represent those river boats strong enough to lend a hand against the forts.  Supply and transport as I said are abstracted but I think rivers also count as a viable way to get back to a supply source.

It was "Advanced Supply." The fleets will not operate because of the starting supply problem for the North. Eventually they will but not initially.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
