Isn't that a whopping 17 INF factors?

Yep 17 Infantry factors in game terms, thats the max Britain could move with Merchant transports for this period in history based on historical data. Until the early years of the French Revolutionary war,the NAVY BOARD had been responsible for such ships,but the TRANSPORT BOARD was formed in 1794, to organise the hire of merchant ships for naval and military purposes.Also there was the ORDANCE BOARD whose merchant ships were used to resupply the combat fleets with new cannons,shot,grappe cannisters etc.
