>The rulebook states that 'most' orders that can be given to armies can also be given to navies so long as the navy could anchor its ships. Does anyone have any information about what 'most' means? Can I do the troop training orders while in port? can I t>ansfer supplies between navies and armies while in port? Conversely are there any orders which do work at sea? Can the troop's armour/weapons be upgraded?

I sent a similar question to GAD. The answer was something like: "You can
give most army orders also to a navy as long as the navy could anchor their
ships. This doesn't mean that they will anchor the ships". Of course because
of the word 'most' that answer didn't help me very much. But I learnt that it
looks like you can forget that 'most'. E.g. if your navy is in a harbour or
shore hex, you can train your troops, recruit new troops (if you have enough
transports), transfer supplies (I think), threaten towns (none of these orders
anchors the ships!) or split army (the new army will be on land, no ships will
be anchored). I have no experiences with orders at sea.
