On saturday I finally managed to lay my paws on a copy of AACW (many thanks to PT, he knows, why
) and after two days of reading manuals (much bigger than the BoA-manual, but still mysteriously vague about certain aspects of the game), playing tutorials, briefly tinkering with various campains, vainly searching through the FAQ (not entirely up to date, is it?) and other threads, I still have three questions (actually, quite a few more than three, but let's not look me too much of a rookie here 
):1.) Riverine transport
I understand there are two different ways of moving land units along rivers, one somewhat abstract similiar to railroad transport using river transport capacity, when relocating units from one friendly region into another friendly region with no danger of enemy interference on the way, and the other by actually loading Land units on transports and moving them in the old BoA-style. Is that correct?
2.) Blue water (naval) transport
If 1.) is correct, does the same apply for transportation of land units overseas, i.e. can you relocate land units from one friendly port to another without actually using transport ships?
3.) The manual states, I believe, that each brigade may contain up to 7 elements. However, you can' build new brigades with more than up to 3-5 elements, can you? So how do you get "7-elements"-brigades? Do Brigades occasionally recieve additional elements via replacements or can "understrenght brigades" be merged into each other? If the latter, how?
Thank You in advance for Your patience in enlightening a n00b...
