Loading troops on to transport

[Spacemonkey969 (OP)]

How does it work
 I have a unit that is roughly 20K and part of a higher command and 6 ships that can hold 5k each all in the same fleet. 

Does one ship need to be able to carry the entire formation or do I need to move the entire group?

Right now I give the pick up order the fleet goes through the motion but nothing is moving. 

Edit Im making sure Im not doing anything wrong before I post in bugs

Indeed, one ship does need to hold the entire formation.  But fear not, you can easily use drag-and-drop to split up your formation into five or six parts, each small enough to fit inside one transport ship, then reassemble at the other end.

In addition, if members of the forum would seek to know how to embark armies, division etc, at the same time on ships (by having the capacity of transport of course), I post here the image. It might help.
