it is 1920, and the long. bloody civil war in Kajikstan has finally come to an end, resulting in the Atrallian Peninsula being slit in half with East And West Kajikstan. You are an Army colonel who led your troops to victory in the last battle of the are, allowing the rebels of the east to finally declare independence from the corrupt regime of the west. However, our armies are depleted, and our industry has been hammered into the ground by the war. The new Prime Minister has decided to grant you the post of Chief Minister of Appropriations in recognition of our deeds, putting us in charge of rebuilding our military and industry. It is urgent we do so, for those of West Kajikstan aren't happy with our independence, and there are others who'd love to conquer a weakened nation such as ours...

Spoiler: Current Military (click to show/hide)

20,000 regular Infantrymen, armed with 7.62mm bolt-action rifles(similar to a Mosin-Nagant)
500 artillery using short-barreled 105mm howitzers and 75mm mortars.
5 small frigates grossing about 1000t each
10 patrol craft and torpedo boats of around 100-550t

Rules:

I'm going to invoke the Rule of Three here, for my sanity. You can only make three design proposals, and three production/other proposals. You can also only vote for three design and three production/other proposals. Note though, that depending on the complexity of whatever is proposed, not all such proposals may be completed in a year.

When making a proposal, use this format:

Code: [Select]

1(for a design) or A(for production):Proposal text

# of designers(more increase success, but can reduce number of proposals competed. Default is 10)
Any proposals not using this format will be hit with meteors and ignored!

Spoiler: Sample Proposal (click to show/hide)

1)Weasel Mine: A mine designed to destroy large numbers of infantry by releasing a cloud of burning fuel on detonation.
# of engineers:10

Any Proposal that does not get made that year will automatically be reproposed the beginning of the next year: It will be removed after two years or if nobody votes on it the following year.v Such Proposals will be marked with a *

1)Unnamed Light machine gun:
A simple Gas-Operated machine gun with a top mounted Pan magazine holding 60 rounds of rifle ammo.

Number of engineers: 10?

[tryrar]

Caliber of the weapon would be helpful. In general, I like details, otherwise when I roll for stuff you might get silly things like a "light" machine gun with a calbier bigger than ship cannons

[Funk]

Ok then i will add more details, i was hopeing that some one was going to post the obligatory new rifle so both guns could use the same ammo.

1)Unnamed Light machine gun:
A simple Gas-Operated machine gun with a top mounted Pan magazine holding 60 rounds of rifle ammo.
Weight < 15kg fully loaded
Length 1200mm
Ammo see 2

2) A new round of 8mm x 70mm, it should be a spitzer type bullet with a full metal jacket.
Bullet weight, 300gr.
Velocity above 650 m/s.

Edit, do owe have any trucks or other large engined motor vehicles?

+1, looks good to me.

If we do, I'm thinking we could make some heavy trucks into mobile platforms for the arty.

[tryrar]

Oh, that's a good question. I'll say since this is 1920s equivilant, no due to nobody thinking of using trucks to move stuff for the army in any large scale(still mostly horse or man-drawn), and the trucks available aren't really up to the task anyways.

[Parsely]

Does that mean we can't try to develop trucks that are efficient and don't suck?

[Funk]

I was thinking building them in to armored cars like these Spanish civil war era ones

Really there just a large car or a truck with some sheet steel over outside.

Well as it's 1920 and we have no armored vehicles we have some catching up to do.

Spoiler: Lets do better than this first attempt (click to show/hide)

What engines do we have? any air plane one's ?

[Funk]

Does that mean we can't try to develop trucks that are efficient and don't suck?

No that means that we need a truck.
Give me 10 minutes and i'll have us a 1920's truck.

[Parsely]

Oh, "trucks available", right. I thought he was saying that we weren't allowed to use this era's vehicles to mount artillery but he just meant the ones we have at the moment.

I can get behind this armored car idea, imagine having armored wolf packs with mounted machine guns in this day and age-

[Khaiel]

Please don't do the Spanish Civil War armoured cars. Those were made in the rush mainly by the Republicans because most of the army sided with the rebels and there weren't enough military vehicles. Let's just say that military designs and strategies of both sides of that war sucked (which is the reason why the war took 3 years, despite the rebels having quite a better army and support from Italy and Germany)

[tryrar]

We have no airplane engineers, but that doesn't mean we can't do airplanes. You won't get much more than crude biplanes without training an engineer though, and you'll need to explicitly build an airstrip first.

[Parsely]

A: 200m Concrete Airstrip w/Small Support Hangar
    - Manpower: Default

[tryrar]

umm, sure you're not missing a zero there gun? 20 meters is rather...short for an airstrip

[Parsely]

Yeah I fixed it straightaway.

ATM it's only meant for light aircraft, shouldn't need to be too wide since I doubt we'll be fielding heavy bombers anytime soon (though that would be a definite plus).
