Pardon me if it's been mentioned before - but I havn't seen mention of Ice Breakers on the forum yet.

With Steam screw power and Steel hulls, a couple ice breakers could be built to force an amphibious landing just north of Zion in the early winter, when such a mission would be least expected. Thoughts?
