La Argentina was an export version of the British Arethusa-class trade protection cruisers enlarged to be used as a training ship for naval cadets. While her British counterparts were ultimately used as fleet escorts, La Argentina performed the class's designed function of neutrality patrols and escorted merchant vessels throughout the war. With the longest range and the most modern accommodations of any Argentinean ship of the time she operated independently from the other cruisers and battleships of the Armada de la República Argentina and showed the flag around the world.

Flotilla Escort - The sector this unit is in may contain three friendly ships instead of two. If both friendly ships are destroyers.

The first of a trio ordered from a german firm in 1936. Saldiray was delivered im 1939. Large and modern she secured turkish neutrality during ww2. Her sisters were to be built in turkey. The beginning of war delayed thier construction significantly, the last not being delivered until after the war.
Commanders are for now on hiatus, pending the ability to more effectively playtest the mechanics. -----ALLIED----- Hector Waller - Commander - 1939 - Australia

----------Notes on Commanders---------- 1. Selection of commanders focused on command formation equivalent to a w@s game and with actual tactical command of said formation. 2. Efforts have focused on creating Guidelines as with other cards. See the forumini custom card subform of the stats and sa guidelines used for card projects as an example. 3. Commanders are expected to have a uniform mechanical description SA on all cards that informs thier use.

Named after the "Polar Bear" Jääkarhu was the largest ice breaker operated by Finland in World War II and remains one of the largest ships of her type ever built. Her great size allowed her to take on a considerable armament in wartime and she fought during the Winter War and the Continuation War alongside Finnish warships and other armed ice breakers. Jääkarhu escorted both merchant convoys and warships in the Baltic and participated in the ill-fated Operation Nordwind. Before the end of war she was handed over to the Soviet Union as a reparation.
