Po's party then took the Shershen a good way down the Vistula (pretending to be on a KGB-led mission) until a Soviet unit garrisoning a bridge with a GRU liaison became suspicious of their cover and holed the boat in the ensuing firefight.

I actually posted some of my photos and line drawings of Shershens in another thread last year some time I think. Would you like me to post the vehicle sheet I wrote up for my last campaign? From memory it has the location and armor values written up in v1 format. The weapon stats are in Gunmaster format but you can ignore those


I use v2.2 rules (but ALWAYS the v1.0 timeline) but I'd still like to see what you did.

My players wiped out the river pirates a couple of years ago, IRL, but they're continuing down the Vistula towards the Baltic (they're at Plock now) and I'm thinking it's about time for another riverine nemesis.

I didn't find the Shershen when I was looking for a flagship for the pirates so instead I went with this:

I didn't want to use the same type of vessel again so I'm grateful you mentioned the Shershen class [again].
