Hello, what do I need to make a fleet help my units in a neighbouring region in their battle through bombardment?
I am playing the 1755 scenario (French and Indian war), and my counterpart has taken one of the major ports in South Carolina. I've promptly assembled some units and a sizeable fleet and sent them into battle. The army retreated after sustaining several hundred casualties, but the fleet did not join the battle. I've repeated this once again, and the result was no different.
For the third time, I've decided to have both the fleet and the army adopt an all out attack stance, as I've thought that maybe the battle didn't last long enough. No luck. The battle lasted for six hours but the only result was that the British sustained even larger casualties and the ships still did not bombard my enemy. Yes, they were right in the adjancent region, blocking the port my enemy has decided to seize.
So, what do I need to do to make my ships assist my land units in a battle?
