Warning about sailing with fixed guns

Hi,

I made a mistake last week playing as english. I was trying to sail away from Savannah with a german army, but loading (my mistake) inmobile guns on ships.
The problem is that the game doesn't warn me about this, and then I was trying to sail one turn, and one more turn, and another...(thinking that the weather was the reason of my busy ships).

Could you add a white message warning about it??

Thanks.

I suppose we should indeed include something, the easiest being you just cannot load these units (i.e. fixed guns) on ships...

Otherwise there would be a trick done by smart guys: load the guns on ships, then move the ships and unload the guns...and they become unfix...

In BOA 2.0, I'll change those fixed guns with very low to nil movement rates, so you'll be able to load them on ships, then unload them elsewhere (where they will stay stucked)...that'll be more realistic I guess :innocent:

Is this an official announcement? :)
