Help Needed to Get Troops onto Galleys -- Tried Everything

[unmerged(512626)]

Well, I tried everything but the right thing. I posted this in the quick questions thread but I'm going to need to move troops soon. Hopefully someone has the time to answer.

What I wrote with a typo fix.
"How do I get my troops in a ship, in a country I own and the troops are in the country (Ancona) (ETA: as well as Sardinia)? I read an explanation awhile back and I've tried various clicks and buttons and nothing seems to work...? thanks. "

1 ship holds 100 people. If you have an army of 5000, you will need 50 ships.

Bring the ships to the adjacent province and then select your army. Right click the adjacent sea province with your army. They will start marching inside the ships.

Important: You need to MERGE your ships if you want to move your army inside. This will make them all one unit.

You have 2 options:

1: Put your fleet in a sea province next to the province where your troops are. Select your troops and right click on the sea province where your fleet is.

2: Move fleet to the province that the army is in. Select the army and there is a small icon with an arrow pointing at a ship, click that and they board the ships.

Ok so if I build the ships in Ancona, I need to move the ships somewhere else....adjacent? I believe they were stacked.

I'll try it now and see...

OK Thanks Guys! -- the ship barely moved but that's what it was apparently.

Ships have to be at sea to be boarded, not in port. It's stupidly unintuitive, but this is how it worked in Paradox games for more than a decade - maybe the reason this mechanic is kept around is to avoid confusing all the long-time players?

Almost sounds like a common-law feature (which is programmer speak for a bug that's been around so long, everyone's come to rely on it so it became a feature).

You can board ships at port...
