Amphibious Assaults?

[Polish Tank]

First off, its my first post so I would like to say greetings. I have a question that the answer to is probably pretty obvious but I can't figure it out to save my life.

What is required to do an amphibious assault? I just got the game, was the Danes and I couldn't figure out how to attack Finland, and there was no way I was gonna attack the Germans. I had a viking longboat, I know there can't be any enemy fleets on the sea square, but what else? Do you need a port? Does the enemy province? Both? Something else I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There needs to be an unbroken chain of ships between the departure province and the landing province. Their can be no enemy ships in this chain. The departure province needs a port.

OHHHHH...a chain, gotcha, most appreciated.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the destination province doesn't have to have a port; but a port must be built before your troops can leave. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
