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.
