rheaton Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I would like to see some of the Naval units be able to support ground forces by travelling up navigatable rivers. Any chance of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Good idea, but you would need to enlarge the scale of the map. Such a change would especially apply to a mod of the Western Front of the American civil war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Huh? Could you name one example where a CA, BB or CV entered a river in the ETO or anywhere to perform a combat action?? I'd be interested to read one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Reijkersz Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Actually i think the Vikings used their seaworthy battleships a lot to go up rivers to perform battle actions.... kind regards, vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you could just say, "not applicable at this scale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleete Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Having size issues again, Lars? What we need is more of these "pocket cruisers". Not sure about the combat effectivness, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 OK, I didn't have my mod hat on to consider those pre-WWII actions. Yes, Vikings would count! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willebra Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 What if you enlarged the scale in a mod so that you use sea-tiles to create a river? Well, it wouldn't be the same, but could create some interesting situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
