When a ship carrying troops is hit, there is often some casualties among the troops.

Gotcha Thanks!

It was the reference to "Ground casualties" that threw me. "Troop casualties" or "Passenger casualties" would be much clearer. Assuming both the AP and the submarine were at sea, it's hard to see how ground casualties could occur.

Or, the torp missed the ship, ran through the water, moved up a gently sloped beach, then hit a hut full of soldiers. Think I saw that happen in a movie [:)]

CarnageINC, you'll need to get one of the artist types to make you ship art of a pink submarine, so you can add the Sea Tiger into AE. :)
