Munition Refinement (Team Delta )
The munitions refinement is a success. Not only do your engineers manage to solve all problems with the ammunition, they even manage to improve it.

The albatross project is finished without consequences. A metal bomber with a partial wooden frame, and 3 powerful engines. It's a fast and light, which a high altitude outfit. While there were some flaws in the early design, these were filtered out by the senior engineers. 3 Design variations exist, 1 equipped with weaponry, and 1 equipped with the advanced Knickebein navigation system. (All aircraft are equipped with the return aid.)

Sparrow (Gamma)
The Sparrow fighter is overhauled. New materials and alloys are used, additional weaponry is added and drop tanks are developed to increase range of the vehicle. The lighter materials added to the Sparrow Fighter III has been quite efficient in driving up the plane's performance, as well as the cost. The 2B variant is almost left unchanged, merely fixing the worst errors.

New Fighter engineThe new engine suffers several crucial design flaws, and doesn't make the deadline. In fact, it doesn't make anything at all. Aside from a lot of smoke and noise, that is.
HedgehogsThe Hedgehog anti submarine system is designed and tested. It's very efficient, launching a grid of mortars that can be set to either detonate on a timer or on contact. The earlier option is more likely to kill, but the later option is better for the sonar installation.
Radar installationThe newest version of the radar provides a far better resolution, though it's still far from what it should be.
Radar (Beta edition)
Range: 40km
Resolution: Mediocre (not good enough to identify or correctly estimate crafts, but at least it catches them before they get to close)
Displacement: 50 tons
Cost: 80 (Uses special parts)
A few Radio navigation are installed all over the country, providing a variety of broadcasting points and limited redundancy. Increasing local production of electronical parts is also successful, but the shortage is still severe. A pilot training center is constructed to train pilots, both for dogfighting as working with the bureau's newest toys.
Most industrial production is dedicated to the 10000 dockyard project, which is constructed rapidly. The rest is used to improve the aircraft production, none is left to upgrade the hunters.

The year starts out good for us. Our raids go well, and all in all few enemy resistance is met. The first bomber runs are succesfull as well. No enemy resistance is met, and no signs of alarm are spotted. During the high altitude day raids our planes are spotted, but so far, they can't reach our planes maximum altitude. A few runs had been set out to determine the possible target locations, but the plan was temporaly interrupted when we lost our primary transmitting array at crow's Isle.
The Second Battle for Crow's IsleDecember 26 2:56 AM. It's been a rough Christmas for the Moldavian Special forces. They had a modest celebration, far away from their friends and family. In the black of the night, they waited, for a signal none of them wanted to hear. They had all volunteered for this mission, but it was clear to them that their chances of return where modest, to say the least. Finally, the signal came. The fleet was moving into position, and it was time for departure. Ahead of them, the fighters twin engines roared, and slowly the wooden constructions took to the sky. The lights of the cities passed by underneath them, and soon, nothing remained but the black of the seas.
When the Briefing had come, it all seemed so sure, so certain. But now, when confronted with the big black void, they realized the risk if only one of the calculations went wrong, they could end up drowning, miles away from their target. Slowly, they passed by the first ship. A cordon of these had been laid out between the island and the coast, to serve as a guideline for the planes. The last part had been let out, lest it alarm the enemy forces.
After they'd passed the last ship, still a good distance from the small island in the sea, the fighter decoupled, leaving the glider on it's own wings. Slowly the plane set course for the small light in the distance. Silently, the passed over the ocean. They knew, that somewhere in the distance, the fleet was hiding, waiting for the signal to attack. The lights at the horizon grew larger, till the island appeared under them. The cliffs were still speckled with marks from the previous, disastrous assault. On top of them, the first gliders had already dropped to the ground, and alarms were sounding. Sporadic antiaircraft fire erupted now from the fortresses, but it was too little, and too late.
A glider got hit in the wing, and it crashed down, another caught fire, forcing a premature, and probably deadly landing. Our glider managed to make it through intact, and we continued to our target. A massive bunker for the enemies artillery cannons. We arrived there before their forces did, a small charge pierced the outer layer, and destroyed the cannon. At the same time, other similar explosions occurred all over the island. Another series of explosions, and the fortresses guns fell silent, having become a tomb for it's garrison. A massive explosion resonated over the island as the islands small airport went up in flames, it's fuel supply ignited by another of our teams.
The enemy was moving out in force now. Tankettes rolled up the hills, and bullets filled the air. We were pushed back into a brutal slaughter. Only 5 of us survived the assault, we stood waiting there, ready to sacrifice ourselves if it mean taking down but one of them, when suddenly an ominous droning filled the air, as our aircraft passed by overhead. The enemy advances was all but stopped, and we regained hope. Still, the enemies machines marched onwards, and we retreated further, down, almost into the enemy bunker. A mistake, obviously. A mistake painfully made clear by 500 kg explosive shell, killing my friends, and knocking me out.
Most of crow's island has been conquered. Our fortresses have not yet surrendered, but have been effectively disarmed. 1500 soldiers + local militia (+- 2000) remain inside. The harbor has been heavily damaged; as has most infrastructure on the islands. Losses on both sides were severe.Our losses-Northen Supply Line: 0%
