Perhaps there is a bug. I recruited a Crusading army for England and sent it by boat down the coast thru Gibralter. I remembered to move it every turn. Even so, the game didn't like that short indirect leg of the journey. I lost men to desertion twice before my route straightened out in the Mediteranean. Perhaps CA wanted the game to work that way, but I kind of doubt it.
