So this is becoming a World War and North America is beginning to be invaded by the Axis. I didn't know this but evidently the Axis can lose transport ships when they are attacked or intercepted by Allied air. This has left me with a reduced number of transports and even though I've scoured the countryside far and wide, I cannot find my complete complement of transports.
20 points are missing and I cannot find them.
It would be a good idea to mark embarked troops in the 'reports and statistics': units order of battle lineup, so one can quickly find embarked troops (that are "lost").

Status: offline 		The other problems that encourage this is the mixing in of transported troops with regular naval troops in a stack, rather than a separate counter (different color?) to allow special naval stacking or when one checks the unit box -- have a background beneath the font that is a different color. So with one look at a stack you can tell there is a transported combat unit.
Also a German transported embarked combat unit can get "lost" when it combines with say, an Italian naval unit -- the gray German transported unit "disappears" into the green of the Italian unit and then you have no idea what's what.

Middle number: # naval units.
1st number: # carriers(?)
