Centurius Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 [quote name='TheShammySocialist' timestamp='1299543381' post='2655933'] LCVPs were launched from converted merchantmen during WWII, of course if this were done without naval combat vessels around, it is a dangerous proposition, but still "doable" without any IG ship numbers. If this is not the case, then how did Markus launch an assault on the beaches of the Republique de Fleuve without any ships? And even then, LSTs aren't combat ships, they don't really have much in the way of combat support elements, especially if you RP them in their original unmodified state. Some of them were modified to carry rockets and such, but for the most part, they were armed with a couple machineguns and, maybe some AA guns, but they were basically more of a target then anything else. Hence their dubbed nickname "Large Slow Targets". I don't disagree with you about this whole thing, they do need larger landing ships, but if you RP it correctly, you can still do a legit invasion with landing craft, without needing IG ship numbers. At least it would seem that way as I have been told/read the rules. I see where you are coming from though, don't get me wrong. Markus definitely didn't roll up to Rotavele's ports and ask if he could offload troops, than have a battle. No one called him on that. [/quote] This is correct.

Markus Wilding Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I've always (for any naval invasion) used civilian oil tankers converted to troop transports using simple ramps. In one instance I used cruise ships to transport my armored units into HHAYD's land at one point armed with light machine guns and an artillery piece.

Unless if you had a massive air conditioning system and a steady supply of electricity, your artificial island is limited to below freezing climates.

Sargun II Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Come on guys, this is the GM Court thread. He asked if he could do something within the rules, not if there were better options available or whether or not something is feasible. Remember that economics don't really exist so unless what he's proposing is so out there that it's nearly impossible to do, it really shouldn't be coming up here. I know it's not my place to police the thread but getting it clogged up with "open a zoo" and subsequent, repetitive one-line responses of "I just want polar bears" are not the reason this thread exists. We [b]do[/b] have a general OOC discussion thread for a reason. Sorry, pet peeve. Edited March 12, 2011 by Sargun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of cochin Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 @MO. Yes, build your artificial island for polar bears. Just ensure that you properly RP how the weather is recreated. To build a tundra environment in tropics can be done, as in Dubai, but RP it out. As regards the suggestions on how to do it, take it to Tech Stats thread. Not here.
