Why isn't Nikopol a port?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

When it was the major soviet warship building and repair facility on the Black Sea?

NB this is asked as a genuine question, not as a criticism of the designers

Thought this was Nikolav (sp?) which was a major ship building city and is a port in game.

I think you both mean Nikolaev (as it is named on the map) in hex 86,105. Yes, it should be a port, but the layout of the map is such that it is not adjacent to any water hex, thus can't be a port.
