Ok this game in Inspired by the likes of
The People's Weapon Design Bureau and
The revolutionary design bureau.Set in a alternate 1920s not too different to our own, you are in charge of designing weapons for the nation of Crohakon.
How ever all is not well out side the borders of Crohakon, for the Callatraeans are biter about our conquest of there northern coast but are unlikely to attack us.
Far more likey is an attack by the Peoples Republic of Kedardovia who have long eyed our bountiful plans with envy.
How ever we have a small advantage over them in the from of a small supply of Unobtainium, which our sciencetist hope to start refining shorty.
Sadly we are prevented from pursuing the avenues of human modification and chemical warfare by treaties from after the war, after all no one wants to see the Techno legion restored.

And finally a note from Lieutenant colonel Fürst of the 1th special purpose battalion, offering there full cooperation with your work.
Rules-----------------
1: use metric units, if your still using dinosaur units in your head then use an online converter please.
2: A proposal will be bold text and a unique proposal number.
3: You can put out up to 4 design projects and 4 production proposals each.
4: Favouritism will be to interesting and colour full proposals, not pages of boring specification.
5:
6: every one gets 6 votes for designs and another 6 for production proposals.
7:don't ague about the details too much
major projects and minor projects.Your design staff is limited in both number and resources so you can only develop 3 major projects and 5 minor ones.
A major project is a new plane or tank, but refitting a tank design with a bigger engine or a diffident weapon is a minor project.
New guns and small arms are major projects but changing or upgraded an existing gun in a minor project, i.e. making a smaller model of machine gun A.
if there is any debate about wherever a project is major or minor, i will be the arbiter.
