MG first then 20mm and light artillery/ anti tank gun second.

Okay, then I'll still do his pitch.

_{And you guys might want to ASK the military what THEY want developed.}

Don't be silly, we're high up bureacrats. The military should be glad if we don't supply them with direct downgrades of their equipment.

[Patrick Hunt]

I'm just an engineer. I leave talking to officers to the high and mighty council.

[AfellowDwarf]

If someone has to talk to the plebians, Mr. Mc Gerald is still unoccupied at the moment, so we could ask him to handle that.

[Terra162]

Mr. Cressbit, as you're doing the pitch, may I request to join you in the visit to the council? Also, bringing Mr. Bösch(Funk) and Mr. Churnos(Patrick) will help us when it comes to the engineering questions that might be asked.

[evilcherry]

While maxim don't like to work in a team, a friend-finding mission is important enough for him to endure company.

Challenge accepted.



Oh yes maybe Mr. McHarald should just open an ice-cream joint at the barracks. Satisfies two wants in one.

Very well. It shout be usefull to have engineers around to answer questions. Mr. Bosch and Mr. Churnos are free to come along, though they might be otherwise occupied.

Meanwhile, I'll finish preliminary design on the boat. Even if the military doesn't actually WANT it, I'm sure my colleagues can persuade them they need it

Length:60ft
Weight:40 tons
Hull Type:Planar
Hull construction:Reinforced Plank and Plywood
Propulsion:High-Octane gasoline engine
Armor:....it's made of wood. What armor?
Armament:2x18in torpedo tubes, 2 machine guns,(space for mounting other weapons)

[AfellowDwarf]

If I might say so, I believe our good collegue Mc Harald's attention will leave the military so satisfied that we could succesfully convince them to employ a cavalry devision.

[Patrick Hunt]

I'm quite sure my MG will convince the military types of its value itself once I invent it.

[LuckyKobold]

Good argument, I suggest that we have small concealed ship attached versions to massacre boarding forces.

[Patrick Hunt]

Add some latches along the ship rails to attach it and I can design it to be booted in quickly.

You can move them to where you need them at the last moment so they can't be spotted and so you can bring all guns into play.

[LuckyKobold]

Excellent idea, with a little bit of incendiary chemicals they'd be a dozen different kinds of lethal.

[Terra162]

Wouldn't creating incendiary ammunition take, oh I don't know, chemical engineers? Main point, we need more engineers to use.

[Patrick Hunt]

Incendiaries on a wooden ship? How many ways can you say bad idea? 1 accident and you burn your own ship down.

[LuckyKobold]

Mr McHarold also attempts to set up a small snack bar in the barracks, instead of paying with money they pay with physical exercises, He also talks to the employees about their opinions.

Point noted, Although small flamethrowers and gasoline could work almost as well.

That's why they have a sheet metal storage space.
