New Ships for the Navy have been relesed and put into immidate service for the war. These Craft have been named Legion class landing platform dock and they combien effcient transport ships with the power of a small battleship! As of yet there are six of these ships that have been completed and put into service. While more will be made under NEW to sell to foreign nations after the war...

This is an interesting ship, certainly an armed lander is something that any nation needing to commit troops amphibiously would be after, however, I have one comment to make.
That is that, as landers are themselves normally only minimally armed, they do not go towards a recwar unit's 5 points, unlike armed ships such as destroyers, battleships etc.
However, depending on the armaments of this ship, it would be classed as a destroyer and become subject to the same unit cost as one of those, whist probably being (marginally?) less deadly.
So, would you say that this ship is armed to that extent? (And how is the ship armed?)
Yours,

Well I will get Seb to post the details but it is well armed to say they least. With it's main purpose as a way to get rid of the need of purchesing a large Navel force but using a smaller but better armed unit.

Actually, I really can see how this could be very useful, especially if it can function as effectively as a destroyer but with capacitance for troops as well. It would do great things for amphibious assaults etc.

Well yes, assuming they are as powerful as regular, even small, destroyers (Riponia's are based on the DDX class), they're very nice indeed.
Are the sprites hand made?

Our battleship was used as the initial skelinton then the rest was pretty much hand made....

Oh right. I've always envied people who can make sprites like that. I can't to save my life.
