naval invasions: anything happening post patch 3?

I've seen GB take a full stack (or nearly) by ship all the way down to Southern Spain, occupy the port near Gibraltar and then stay there, troops and fleet, for at least 10 or 20 turns... when I lost track of it. That was a shame, because Spain did so poorly that GB could have taken Madrid - or Gibraltar - in one move.

In a Prussian campaign of mine I was witness to a naval invasion of West Prussia by GB with all of about 3 troop units. Too bad they didn't attack anything and I think they just stood there for a while and then hopped back on the boat.

I have just witnessed (as Russia) Sweden taking Tunis. They weren't at war with anyone but the Barbary States for quite some time, so I guess they decided a mediterranean tan would be nice...

Well, that usually happens when Marathas conquer all of India, Persia and expand into Northern Africa/Europe through Ottoman territories. No naval invasion involved in that case.

I havent seen any naval invasions yet. In my Spanish campaign (Spain allied to Portugal) I saw Portugal load an army (full stack) onto a fleet (half stack of ships) and head towards GB (at war with Portugal) but it returned a turn later and landed the army back in Portugal. That's the closest thing to a naval invasion attempt I have seen so far.

In my current french campaign GB invaded and captured sardinia. It initially loaded about 5 units on a small fleet and sent it down to gibraltar where it sat for about 25 turns. then out of the blue it just sailed off towards sardinia into the FOW then bam it turns red.

I had just one in my Swedish campaign. Unfortunately I wasn't counting on that one because Denmark launched an invasion from Iceland. They landed in the fishery in Norway and marched to the region capital. The did no raiding but went straight toward the capital. I was quite surprised. Luckily I had an army near by and managed to capture the region back. I have sent an army to Iceland to take Denmark out.
