I was also re-loading a lot when my assassins failed (yes I know its lame, but I couldn't bear to let my 3 star guys go down after slaughtering all of those peasants to get them there!). So anyway, I am thinking "damn, why the hell are my ships taking so long?" And then I click my ship off the coast of Brittany and what do I find?

FOUR FREAKING SHIPS SITTING THERE STACKED! ARGGHHH!!!
LOL! It's particularly funny for me because I made the same mistake when I first started playing. I just could not figure out where my bloody ships were disappearing to....

Don't worry, Maharajah, you'll get the hang of the game soon enough, including the battles. Just remember, we've all been there too.
