Is it possible to have the victor of a naval battle follow the looser to the port and begin a blockade?

Not to my knowledge.
Else your fleet could somehow end moving 14 zones ?

There is no movement limit in a naval retreat. If the Turks loose a naval battle in the Baltic and have no ports outside of the Turkish mainland they could be retreating a huge distance.

I may be mistaken but I thought the victor had the option to blockade the looser after a naval battle.

This concept is in the EIA rules. Losers should be able to choose to retreat a sea zone, or to a port - if they take a port, the�victors should be able to choose to either stay where teh battle was fought, or follow into the blockade box of the port. Such movement ignores MPs.

HOWEVER, this�has NOT been implemented in the game at this stage.� In the game, the loser will retreat to a port, and the victor will be left where the battle occurred.

[I have proposed that there should be an option setting for a fleet - similiar to the intercept options - that nominates sea area or port, and pursue or not pursue. The game should randomly assign a sea area if that option is taken. This would let the game resolve the battle without any requirement for human interaction.]
