How to transport troops over water?

[Magnus]

I'm literally punching the desk out of frustration that I can't move troops from Italy down to Ethiopia to help in the war. How the ♥♥♥♥ do you get armies across water?

You must first have them on a region that has a port, then move them to another region with a port.

To move troops across water you have to first move them to a province with a Naval dock/Port, which looks like an anchor on the map. You must then click Another province with a Port/Naval dock that has NO land connection avaliable. This will make the troops transport across the water. I havent tried naval invasion yet but I would assume you can just move troops onto enemy beaches fine. Hope this helps.

You have to issue a battle order and execute it. Regardless of enemy port. (assuming you researched landing craft.)

Ah thanks for that, I have yet to play a nation who needed to do it (my most recent playthrough was a bunkered Netherlands which i amazingly won 0_o).

i just got the game and i put them on a province with a port and clicking on another port but does it have to be your port or could it be a friendly port?

you probably dont have control of the suez if the war already started, so you will need to take the suez canal first.
