Perhaps this is a stupid question, but I seem to be completely unable to assault Malta to fulfil Britain's victory conditions. The Knights of St. John army resident in the settlement prevents me from landing a beachhead on the nearby coast (and the entire Maltese coastline is "nearby"), and the small navy inside the port hasn't moved for dozens of turns (since long before I sailed an invasion fleet in that direction, in fact), so I cannot test to see whether I can unload via the port.
I've tried a few tricks using saved games, such as trying to gift them another territory next to one of their enemies to encourage them to move, or leaving a lone 6th Rate apparently undefended not so very far from the port, and in the opposite direction from my actual invasion fleet, but cannot find a real solution. As this makes it impossible to complete Britain's campaign, and I am sure other people have managed to complete this campaign, people must have found a solution! What is it?
Thanking you kindly in advance,
Vac
