Richmond has been the capital of Virginia since its founding I believe.

Oh here is a map of the canon strikes along the corridor.

Richmond is certainly the capital of Virginia now but apparently Williamsburg was the colonial capital from 1699 to 1780. According to Wikipedia "During the [American Revolutionary] war, the capital was moved to Richmond at the urging of Governor Thomas Jefferson, who feared that Williamsburg's location would make it vulnerable to British attack".

I really should have paid more attention to the geography when I was working in PA back in '99....


Thanks for the info/advice folks. Another quick question - in a T2K environment, what sort of time frame would people envision to make the journey to NYC from Norfolk? I know there are loads of variables, but just a rough ball park figure would be great.

It's 6-8 hours by road to NYC from Hampton Roads non T2K environment.

That's with good roads and intact BRIDGES and tunnels.

If they're humping it, it might be easier, as rivers can be crossed by a local boat or if they pack a raft.

If they have non amphib vehicles, they'll have to find intact bridges, ferrys or fords to cross water obstacles

I am pretty sure the reason the module pushes the PC's towards hitching a ride with the Harbor Pirate's is the difficulty most other methods involve. Overland is really an entire adventure/campaign in itself.
