Hmm, I always thought it was a feature.  Because of this, you
could set up a chain of boats and ship units completely around
the world in one turn, sort of like a railroad for the sea.

The art was to carefully check how many moves left that a boat
had, and move the one you really wanted, with the maximum moves.
The other one should start ratcheting back for the next turn.
If it wasn't the boat you wanted, press "w".

If you want some units to go in one direction, and other units
to go in other directions, dont colocate the boats.

Regards,

Mitch.
