I am confused by the bombardment interface.

Let's suppose I have an army that contains 4 knights and 3 catapults. I move it up to an enemy city, and I want to bombard it.

It looks like I have to open the list of units in the army window and actually select one of the catapults, and only then I get the "bombard" action. Is there a quicker way to get there?

Then, the catapult I selected did its job, and now the whole army is out of action points. That means that when I select a different catapult, it does NOT bombard this turn?!? This looks like a bug, doesn't it? Do I have to move all bombarding units in separate stacks if I want each of them to have a shot at the enemy?

Thanks -- Aub

If you selecet one catapult - it will bombard with all three in the stack - you can move the knights in teh same turn but you have to bring up the army manager and remove them from teh stack. and i agree it is very anoying - the bombbard button should be available right away if ther is a bombard unit in the stack.

When I need to bombard, I just right click on the stack and Bombard is one of the options listed below, along with pillage, piracy, etc. All units in the stack then bombard.
