portage

Not a big deal, but kind of funny....
Moving a transport fleet from Laurient to Le Havre, the Le Havre port was outlined in white, indicating it was possible to get there in one turn (three moves for a transport). When I clicked on it, I got the "complicated path" message. So I tried to figure out how to do it manually. Out to the sea area, one move. To the sea area between Brest and Plymouth, one move. To the Channel, one move. To Le Havre, one move. That's four. In fact, as soon as I moved out into the sea area, the outline around Le Havre disappeared.
Then I realized that it would let me move from Laurient to St Malo in one, because their land areas are adjacent. Then out to the Channel, then into Le Havre.
Could be a canal....
Actually, it occurs to me that maybe it is a big deal since it would be a good way to evade a blockade. (Haven't tested to see if it would really let me do that, though.)
"They've scampered out the back, sir."
"Egad! I'll be court-martialled for this."
