Sorry Bill, found another, but I think this one will be easy. You can't transport Artillery by Sea.

This isn't accurate by the RaW. The corps doesn't even APPEAR, so you can't select it.

I did a quick check and artillery should be loaded like cavalry? I saw a potential problem with how transport points were being calculated and fixed that for v1.21.04 but no guarantees yet.

Personally, I don't think they should be like Cavalry. More like Infantry, but probably not even that size. A Grand Battery isn't anywhere close to the size of an Infantry Corps even when you count the train (given that an infantry corps also have a train), but can live with whatever is decided... so long as they can indeed be moved by sea :)

with the Version 1.22.00 the naval transportation of artillery is possible at the cost of two heavy ships (like cavalry). Anyway I tried to find any word in the rules about this and found nothing. It would be nice to add a line concerning this.

I like easy fixes. I updated the rules. I assume if it works with 2 heavy ships then it will also work with 1 transport. Thanks for the confirmation.

8.6.2 Naval Transport Capacity
Heavy Ship: 1 Infantry or 1/2 Cavalry or 1/2 Artillery factor.
Light Ship: 1/2 Infantry factor.
Transport Ship: 2 Infantry or 1 Cavalry or 1 Artillery factor.
