Attack/Bombard confusion

[BEM]

Some basic questions, but I'm new to the game. Please help.

1. How do you attack with more than 1 unit at a time? I've had several units on a square, but only one attacks at a time.

2. When I use the Ship of the Line's Bombard feature, I get a red circle with a line through it (kind of a Do Not Enter sign). I'm not using the attack feature, it's definitely "Bombard."

3. And when I try to Bombard with a cannon, nothing happens at all. What am I doing wrong?

Any help?

1 - To group a stack, right-click on the stack and click army-manager. Then Add-All.

2 - SOL can't bombard land squares.

3 - You'll find that one cannon bombarding does almost no damage. Using point 1 above, get about 6 cannons stacked and watch the enemy units die.

You can also right-click the units and select 'group all unit' (or use [shift]-[g]).
