Landing Craft

The Landing Craft carries four ground vehicles across water. It has no weapons and decent hit points, and it is the only way for tanks to reach an island.

How to use

Load by ordering ground units onto the craft, sail to a quiet beach, and unload out of turret range. Two craft moving together deliver a real strike force. Scout the landing zone first: a loaded craft sunk by a cannon turret loses everything aboard. On naval maps, killing enemy landing craft is the surest way to keep your homeland safe.

Anecdotes

Of Andrew Higgins, who designed the flat-bottomed boats that put troops onto the beaches, Eisenhower said: “he is the man who won the war for us.” The landing craft is unarmed, unglamorous, and decides who gets to fight where.
