World War 2 era landing craft

[Blakrider]

well since my first ideas for additions to campaigns fell flat here are a few others.
some of the old WW2 ships have found new life. i know for a fact that a few of the Tour bouts used around New York are actually ww2 LCI's (2 have still have patched bullet holes from the war and were used evacuate people from Manhattan on 9/11)

alot of the landing craft ended up being used as car ferries for river barges and a few countries still use them as landing ships or replenishment ships

Good stuff thanks. I wonder if the smaller ships could be made from scrapped tankers and such.

My players are caught between just moving back to sailing ships or try to take advantage of some of the technical benefits of the newer designs and such. Wind power is cheap and easy but you just cant move the volume.

Not that there would be many around post Twilight War but the bigger clipper ships at the end of the Age of Sail could move some pretty impressive tonnages, especially over longer distances where their lack of a fuel load requirement made them more economically efficient than steam powered vessels.

Thats true...I wish someone had stats for ships like that.

here is somthing you may enjoy the specs for a typical channel cat ferry, im sure they were pressed into service and LSD.
