Amphibious problems

[2gaulle]

I never been able to move british forces to france.
I have TR with Amphibious mission in both North Sea and Atlantic.
Entente control both sea.
Turk is at war but not Belgium.

What turn is it?  Did the Ottomans just join the war?

When you click on a land unit during the orders phase does it give you the option of selecting "Amphibious"?  if so, and it brings up the Select Port screen does it say 'Britain may deploy to the continent'?

Ottomans join the war at the end of turn one.
no amphibious mission allowed during turn 2, it's not possible to click on amphibious option.
by the way, during turn 1, it's possible to select amphibious mission for HQ but there is a message in the port selection screen

I'm having the same problem in the Nov-Dec turn of a game - I've definitely got transports on Amphib, the Ottomans have attacked the Russians in the Caucasus, and U-boats have damageds some Brit transports so there's definitely a war goign on!!

But I can't get any amphib from the Brits at all - not to france, nor Turkey (I had some in hte estern Med to do a Gallipoli....), nor can I get troops to or from India.

The "Amphibious" option is greyed out for all.

However in this same game I was able to send stuff from the UK to Russia - possibly because the UK controlled the Nth Sea, and Russia controlled the Baltic (ie the CP fleet was all in port)?

SMK, can you send me a save of that?

Done

If you need some more examples I have a game that is giving me strange amphibious results. The last turn I wrote down what transports I had in each sea zone and at what endurance. In the Western med transports 10th & 11th both 2 endurance and the eastern 13th & 18th again both 2 endurance. This naval phase it's giving me no amphibious capabiities in either of those 2 sea zones. Would be nice to know what's going on, I still have most of the British army in Britain!

I can send te file along if you want to take a look at it,

cheers [:)]

I thought I read somewhere on here that you coul put French transports at sea and use them to move British troops.  That wasn't the case in my last game, I had to put British transports in every sea zone in order to move troops from Britain.

Yes by all means, any examples of problems with amphibious, send them along to me at fhunter@telus.net

I am deep in the game as the entente and have been able to move troops from england to serbia and egypt with ease. However, the amphibious movement screen does not give me the option to land troops at gallipoli or smyrna. If i have complete contral of the seas and plenty of amphibious transports, why can't I perform an amphibious invasion at any of the ottoman port cities? also, i was only able to land troops at beruit after i had taken it by land from egypt. I would like to invade the rest of the ottoman empire by sea but i am not given the option. please help.

to invade enemy ports you have to activate the units doing the amphib.
