For the note, I vote for all my proposals.

[Parsely]

For the note, I vote for all my proposals.

Toss 'em in there.

[tryrar]

Alright, I'll give it a couple more hours for votes/proposals. I.E. final votes in now!

[Aseaheru]

I would vote for them if I wasent already voteing...

Hell, I would have proposed an airship if I dident feel the need to propose the truck...

Hey, Tryrar, howabout all the things that where proposed that where not voted in are listed in the next round by default?

I would, but I like keeping the proposal list from growing like Kudzu . If an airship is important enough, you can re-propose it.

[Aseaheru]

We could always say that if it dosent get voted in in two years (Or if noone votes for it one year) it gets removed...

[tryrar]

That's....actually a reasonable compromise. Ok, I'll implement it.

Edit:Also, when you have the vote tally, make sure the proposals say what they are for for my reference. Just so I don't have to hunt through the thread...

DP for TURN!


As the year rolls on, reports come that the leadership of West Kajikstan has stabilized their control of the region, and is beginning re-armament. There are rumors of troop recruitment, and of a massive shipbuilding program. The worst of it is the first of the new 2500t light destroyer class that has rolled off the drydock, with 3 more to follow next year. This class carries heavier and more guns(4 130mm guns to our 2 100mms of our frigates, as well as twice as many 20mms(12 to 6) and 14.5 heavy machine guns(16-8)), which has our admiralty rather alarmed, and requesting we build something to maintain parity lest the brethren of the West get any ideas of trying to recapture the territory they lost. In response to this, the military has begun recruitment campaigns, bringing the total number of infantry forces up to 35,000.

Meanwhile, current production ramps up of the light machine gun designed last year(henceforth designated the LMG1-M1920), as well as a supply of the GP engines. 200 of each are built this year.

As well, The design of a general utility truck using the engine goes better than expected. Our engineers have managed to produce a truck able to carry many loads, with the flexibility to haul our artillery pieces around. (GPT-1 Critical Success: Choose 2 traits)

The same can be said for improving our artillery. The LA-1-AT is completed with no problems, and against a mock bunker performs pretty well(no armor yet to test against, so bunkers for now ), as well as a decent high explosive against infantry. During the course of this, an engineer studied the flight paths of the shells, and the construction of the gun, and has gained enough experience to become a Ballistics Engineer. (LA-1AT Critical Success)

The last design of 1921, a higher performance engine, is completed without any major problem. It is tested in a variety of applications, and is recommended for production. (High performance engine:Normal Success)

Meanwhile the new Engineering And Labor Facility is built, allowing training of new engineers and laborers. Included is a small workshop for modifications and production of prototypes producing about 20pp(Normal Success).

However, the expanded industrial facilities only get 3/4 built this year. Both factory lines are finished, but the warehouse space in only half built. (800pp, but can only safely store half that)(Minor Success)

Spoiler: Installations Available (click to show/hide)

Small Administrative Building and Research Lab

Small shipyard and wharf capable of handling ships up to 5000 ton displacement(dockside facilities partially destroyed)

A small factory capable of producing up to 400pp and a Medium Factory capable of 800pp(can only store half that safely)

An Engineering and Labor Relations Center(Able to automatically recruit 5 Novice engineers and 20 laborers. In addition can train either 5 engineers as Regular Engineers OR Specialize one novice engineer in a field of choice OR Promote a laborer as a Foreman(increases build speed) )

[Aseaheru]

I would suggest putting the cost of the design next to the design.


(The following are from last year)

Spoiler: Proposal One (click to show/hide)

Squad Machine Gun One (SMG-1)
Lightweight variant of yet unnamed LMG, using a 20rd box mag, still mounted on top. It should be light enough for use by one man, who should also be able to carry ammo with him.
Our first assault rifle?

10 Engineers

Spoiler: Proposal Two (click to show/hide)

2) High power engine
-------
Based on the General use engine with these changes.

Two more cylinders added on to raise the displacement to 5600cc.

The lone twin barrel carburetor is removed and replaced with 4 single barrel carburetors mounted on the sides.
With the use of higher octane fuel the engines compression can be raised safely.
Lighted pistons to be installed
The pistons, crank shaft and connecting rods should all be balanced to much lower tolerances, this should let use raise the engine speed.

Engine 5600cc, two-stroke
Layout straight-8
Cooling, Water

Spoiler: Proposal Three (click to show/hide)

5 Engineers to develop a relatively short range solid fueled artillery rocket.

Spoiler: Proposal Four (click to show/hide)

5 engineers

Work on a shaped charge for anti tank and bunker busting purposes. Really, the mathematics behind the shaped charge  were discovered in 1888.

Spoiler: Proposal Five (click to show/hide)

15 engineer proposal

Design of a three engine, 150 meter long airship with a gas bag volume of about 20 000 m^3 for scouting purposes.

You can't have an alternate reality without airships after all

Spoiler: Proposal Alpha (click to show/hide)

Construction of an on-site, reinforced facility for the production of several chemicals. Hydrogen gas, Liquid Oxygen, Methanol, Ethanol and other materials are required for many advanced technologies, such as torpedos, rockets and airships.

Spoiler: Proposal Beta (click to show/hide)

Start of public private partnership, to cooperate with public corporation engineers and their equipment. We need more development resources.

Spoiler: Proposal Gamma (click to show/hide)

Airship Hangar

(New ones)

Spoiler: Proposal Six (click to show/hide)

Development of a carbine chambered in 7.62x25mm
Semi-automatic, recoil operated, with a 20 round clip located just behind the grip.

Spoiler: Proposal Delta (click to show/hide)

Finish construction of new factory

Who wants to design a shipship, and who dosent think that a reliable, modular truck is best for use at the back of the lines?

Also, Glloyd, what engines for the airship and how big of a hangar/chem facility?

[tryrar]

Done

[10ebbor10]

Glloyd?

Anyway, I don't think we need a ship ship.

Be unconventional, deploy submarines.

[Parsely]

I say we make torpedo planes to handle the naval threat, and maybe turn a barge into a floating carrier.

OR EVEN BETTER. Airship carrier!

[tryrar]

Well, you'd need to design better torpedos in any case, because the current ones are pretty short-ranged and somewhat unreliable
