Has anyone thought of creating a new uint - the PT-Boat. A small quick coastal defense boat. I would like to use one of these in my games but I know my limitations.

"Those who can, create.
Those who can't, beg those who can."

Not much point in building a P.T. boat........it would only be sunk by Caraval......:)

But those 1-1-3 PT boats would be good at taking out those Battleships!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This would actually be a significant unit for the early industrial era. Before the advent of submarines, torpedo boats were the bugaboo of the battleship captains. A small, fast, light boat with a couple of torpedoes could slip in under the battleship's big guns and sink it with a well-placed torpedo.

If you've ever wondered just why a battleship would need side batteries of 5-inch guns, they were to defend against torpedo boats. And the vessel we know as a "destroyer" was actually designed as a "torpedo boat destroyer" -- a more maneuverable yet well-armed vessel to protect the big ships from torpedo boats.

Could be interesting if you're designing a scenario with a lot of industrial-age action. Make them available with Combustion. Cheaper and faster than submarines, but they're less powerful on the attack and can't hide under water.
