Why I cannot transport by ship this Div?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Riga is in supply, I have shipping available, but there are impassable hexes in red. It is embarrasing, because I know I am missing something pretty obvious...[:(]

Don't try to trace a path, just click on a highlighted port and it will be transported there.  As an example you can see the port to the NW of you is highlighted (just barely visible in the picture under the bomb unit mode).  The path can't be traced manually but will work automatically.  Not sure if this is a bug or not.

Although you dont have a sea lane highlighted click on an available port with less than 3 units in the hex and it should travel by sea.

Sometimes you see the entire path, and sometimes it shows what you saw. As other said: just move the mouse to the intended destination. If you can get there, the amount of strategic MP's required by the move will be displayed.

Thank goodness. I've been wondering about this, and I'm glad someone else asked and was answered. And to the forum police, please give me 50% off my next game purchase for actually trying to find an existing thread on my topic rather than starting a new one!

All these years and the search function is still a pain in the butt to use. I search 3-4 pages and then resort to making a thread if I don't see what I am looking for.

I did find an answer to a question buried within another thread about a completely different subject though, go figure.

For sea transport, set your move mode (F2), select your unit(s), then scroll around and look for ports that are not browned out. Easy enough.
