Ships deployed to LAND and insane laughter

I don't remember who reported this, I saw it earlier that someone had deployed (I believe) 3 transport ships to an Inf division by mistake. He could move the Unit around, etc

I replicated the same thing by mistake. 15 Dreadnaughts deployed to a unit in the middle of Persia-China...

I sighed at myself ... then the conversation started whispering in my head, which caused some fairly insane laughter

From: [32 Army Division - 2 Infantry, 1 Infantry re-inforced with Artillery]
[General 1st Leader commanding]

To: General Staff - Tehran

Subject: Unexpected Re-inforcements of Dreadnaughts

At 1800 hours on the 5th of May, 1917, while on Patrol in Xaunhaug looking for suspected Rebels, our unit was re-inforced with 15 Shiek class Dreadnaughts.

As we were not near a sea-port, we rapidly secured the new land-units? Luckily we got to them before the Rebels did. We used the onboard guns of the Dreadnaughts to great effect, totally eliminating that particalur Rebel cell.

After the combat was over, I gathered my staff to discuss options concerning our new units.

One of my (Ex) Majors suggested securing Horses and Ropes along with Cutting Timber to form rollers for transporting the new units to the nearest port for deployment.

Unfortuantly, Neither Horses, Nor Ropes, nor Axes for cutting Limber are for sale on the World Market.

Please advise concerning marching orders for our new land-units?

Sincerly, General 1st Leader

Yes, I admit, that actually went through my mind. I giggled to myself for a good 10 minutes easily while just staring at the screen.

I've definatly been playing Vic a bit too much.

Well, to defend Paradox...

there are at least two records of successful usage of ships over ground. In 872 (methinks) Russian Duke Oleg, frustrated over constant losses on sea to the Byzantines, set his ladyas (ancient ship, resembling those Viking ones) on the ground, added wheels - and took Constantinople. In 1707 Peter I the Great of Russia moved ~87 galleys over ground from one sea to another to be able to combat Swedish without them killing his fleet as it was being built...

But it is funny. It really is... :)
