Are you a new nation? Or simply have a low defence budget? Maybe you just prefer a bit of WWII PT RP?

Then this is the Navy and Air Force storefront for you! Following on from the Woolwich Arsenal Army Storefront, this is just as cheap & easy to use, and we still think that we’ll have something for poor, small or nostalgic nation…

Please do your own maths. We use this calculator to determine whether you can afford it: Sunset Calculator (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php)

Make sure that you have 1/4 ‘s of your budget left over (you need to pay your men, after all). Also, don’t blow it all on Navy and Airforce; visit the Woolwich Arsenal Army Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=418293) and blow some money there!

Even though PROHT considers itself a "modern" nation, the cost effectiveness of some flying boats are quite appealling.

Will buy
3 Supermarine Walrus Flying Boat at USD 100,000 each

for 300,000 USD

OR

12 PBY Catalinas at a price of 1 million each

for 12 million USD

Or

you may redirect me to someone who does sell Catalinas, for 1 million USD

Choose wisely.
