Spring, 1896, Design Phase.

The war situation is stable, and still arguably in our favor despite one of our holds in the eastern front falling and driven into the sea. The status on the center island is mostly stable, even should we lose the town of Riosca. However, some in politics wish for things to speed up and a clear win on land to be made. As such, the army can focus on a particular front of the war and the majority of new soldiers, equipment and what not will go there, at the cost of weakening the other fronts. This is something that can't just be undone in the span of a season, and as such this focus will last for the rest of the next year, should one be given. But, ideally doing so and ensuring our gains will properly put some certain government officials at ease. Of course, this focus will result in transport ships that need to be escorted...

In other news the Ahenobarbus is ahead of schedule, much to our shipbuilders satisfaction. Additionally, we have been granted 4 more PP worth of funding.


It is now the Design phase of spring, 1896. You have 6 dice remaining.

Lepidus class Light Cruiser: The Lepidus class is a blisteringly fast Light Armored Cruiser, or Light Cruiser, which has a good deal of armor that compliments it's speed. It's arguably undergunned but it's ability to pick it's fights, it's main prey being cargo ships, torpedo boat destroyers, and protected cruisers, should do enough to offset that. Especially with the addition of torpedoes. Costs 5/2, takes 4 seasons to build.
QF Refit (QFR): A simple replacement of the eligible smaller caliber guns to quick fire variants. Costs 1 PP to refit, takes 1 season to complete. Shipbuild cost same as original.
Armament Upgrade Refit (AUR): A upgrade that can be best defined as simply slapping more QF guns on the thing. Annoyingly, issues with regards to the fitting of the dual guns causes them to turn slower due to issues with the turntable and weight. Additionally, reduces the ships speed by roughly a knot. Costs 1 PP to refit, takes 1 season to complete. Shipbuild cost same as original.


Pompey Magnus Class Battleship:Arguably a miniature battleship, one that could be payed with whatever is in ones pocket compared to the price of true battleships, the Pompey Magnus class is...arguably mediocre. Yet, mediocracy in many numbers is a good thing. The ship is quite well armored and armed, though in part due to this it is slightly overweight, which could cause problems. Only costs 7/2, takes 6 seasons to build.
Refits of the Pompey Magnus Class:
Belt and Magazine Adjustments (BMA): Modification utilizing the overweight nature of the ship to cut down on the lower section of the belt in order to add a inch of armor to the rest of it, along with modification to the magazine in order to add another inch to the turret's armor.
QF Refit (QFR): A simple replacement of the eligible smaller caliber guns to quick fire variants. Costs 1 PP to refit, takes 1 season to complete. Shipbuild cost same as original.
Modernized (MOD): Modifications to the Belt and magazine, alongside the smaller caliber guns. Costs 1 PP to refit, takes 1 season to complete. Shipbuild cost same as original.

Magnus Invictus Class Battleship: Essentially an upgraded and larger Pompey Magnus that is faster and has a heavier secondary battery in twin mounted turrets along the side of the ship. Much like the ship it is based on, it is somewhat overweight. Further, the engines are fragile and a large target. Due to streamlining of said engine equipment however, it is quite quick to make and cheap. Only costs 7/2, takes 7 seasons to build.

138 PP, 112 Maintenance.

[Kashyyk]

We can afford to spend 26 PP before we cut into maintenance.

We're about to get a flotilla of Battleships ready for combat, and we have a load of Cruisers in production, so I don't think we need to start building anything.

(1) 2 dice progress Corbiniano Ugolini Recruit Training Command of Maritime Excellence + 4 dice progress Wireless Telegraphy Research Grant: Kashyyk

This plan spends 12 PP, so we still have 14 to go for whatever numbers we feel the need to pad, and should on average, complete the Corbiniano Ugolini Recruit Training Command of Maritime Excellence and get us within spitting distance of the Wireless Telegraphy Research Grant.

Sounds good to me then, but I do feel like we should design a Destroyer soon. It would be good to have a torpedo boat we can deploy cheaply to threaten areas we don't want to put our full fleet into.

Marine Training Modernization Efforts
While we spent a lot of resources to make the army approximately useful on occasion, our marines have had minimal investments to improve their overall capabilities.
Thus, this project fills that gap. At its most basic level, this involves more marksmanship training and improving discipline, but more holistically its about building a mythos and "spirito di corpo." The most advanced part of these efforts is found in officer training. Aside from teaching modern tactics with our modern equipment, the training puts heavy emphasis on decisive action and quick thinking, to go along with this we've devolved usage of 75mm howitzers to lower level units than previously, allowing them to quickly bring fire support where needed.

Spring, 1896, Design Phase.
Corbiniano Ugolini Recruit Training Command of Maritime Excellence (2 die spent. 0 rushed)

1+3+7=11

Work on the Corbiniano Ugolini Recruit Training Command hit a snag. Or rather a ship hit it. Not the actual facility, but the port facility. While progress was going well, An accident with a munitions ship has lead to a disaster in the port, and caused significant damage and a number of fires that ruined a good portion of the port facility. While an investigation is ongoing as to the cause of this, sabotage naturally not ruled out, this has resulted in a sizable amount of extra work that needs to be done, or rather redone. This damage has been repaired for the most part but it has caused a delay in the opening of the university. Though it is expected to still open by the start of next year barring a budget cut or another delay.

Wireless Telegraphy Research Grant (4 die spent. 0 rushed.)

4+1+1+5+14=25

Greater understanding of amplitude modulation and the various methods of ensuring that a signal is properly sent and received has resulted in a far more intensive study of electronics. In fact, a sizable amount of work was done by a important researcher named Alberico Prinzi, and he was quite close to reaching a breakthrough when he found he had tuberculosis. While he has continued his work, he has been distracted and plagued by his ailing health and is spending far more time focusing on his family and friends, especially as the tuberculin he has been taking hasn't been as effective in helping as he hoped. Still, he is likely to finish his work before he perishes, and even if he did fail in finishing his work, there are many other electrical engineers in our employ who can finish for him.


Revision phase will be skipped due to lack of dice. Feel free to discuss strategy and buy plans.

We have 14 PP left. We can pay for two more ships, a Dock upgrade and/or accelerate the rollout of some ground equipment.

Might be worth an infrastructure design to speed up Ship Production too. Even if that resulted in a higher overall PP cost, I think we can afford it.

[Kashyyk]

I'm gonna pretend I'm voting for something.

Also, let's have a deployment thought.

We have 5 Crusiers plus 1 working up. (With 4 Damaged)
We have 2 Battleships plus 7 working up. (With 2 Damaged)

Some of those have had at least one season of working up, so we could just deploy the whole lot as a pair of beating sticks to start playing whack-a-mole with.

My suggestion is two more Cruisers, as they'll be viable for longer than the Pompey Magnus. Then we Dan donate our spare PP to the army maybe?

[m1895]

We got warned about giving the army too much stuff already.
