On a side note, I assume that the fact that the increase in artillery (more ore=more guns) not being mentioned is simply because we're running out of hands to fire all the guns?

Whether charging or parked within combat range, the Struunk has a high profile and is vulnerable to sustained AS-1910 fire, which is now everywhere.

I'd say its increased availability has done us well in the trenches.

EDIT: What's up with the Moskurg thread name?

[10ebbor10]

As-1910 is the machine gun. AS-1912 is our artillery.

[Sensei]

He's referring to the 80mm artillery, I believe. Yes, there are for the most part enough artillery to use as needed- other soldiers have to be in the trenches, charge, support tanks, and man machine guns.

[Andres]

Sorry, I read the "running out of hands to fire all the guns" and my brain just thought they meant machine guns.

Anyway, for GLORIOUS FLAG CONTEST, Moskurg submits two designs for it's citizens to vote for (And reminds all the people that they cannot vote at all in Arstotzka)

Spoiler: GLORIOUS MOSKURG FLAG 1 (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: GLORIOUS MOSKURG FLAG 2, WITH ADDED TIGER (click to show/hide)

[Aseaheru]

 Is that...

* Aseaheru adjusts his glasses

The Finnish flag reversed, with some sabers?

[Andres]

Poor Moskurg so lacking ingenuity must steal from Nordic warriors. I say shame but you have none. *tsk*

[Taricus]

There's no finland in existence just yet. So they reversed the colour of our flag!

Not that we mind, good flag is good, and people copying glorious Moskurg is always better.

[Andres]

Have much create GLORIOUS Arstotzkan flag for citizens to vote, who reminded that cannot vote in Moskurg unless make love to tiger in front of Moskurg officials.

Spoiler: Arstotzka Flag Design 2 (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Arstotzka Flag Design 3 (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Arstotzka Flag Design 4 (click to show/hide)

Glory to Arstotzka!

[Andres]

Everyone in my faction is convinced that a portable machine gun is useless or barely better than what we have. Am I missing something? I'm asking here so I can get a larger pool of opinions as well as not clutter up our thread with more discussion on the topic.

[Aseaheru]

Well, its like this.

 Moskergian first "machine gun" is a small autocannon, and took a large crew and normally a cart. Arstokian first machine gun was in same caliber as normal rifles, and could be handled by a crew of three. This meant that the former could be used in more areas than the latter, as the latter needed places where a cart could go (the plains).

 Later, a smaller, more sane vs infantry machine gun was designed, which took a crew of two. This turned it from a fortification weapon to a more mobile piece.

 The point being: When a static gun is swapped for a mobile gun, the effect is far greater than taking a mobile gun and replacing it with a slightly more mobile gun.

[Andres]

The 1910 wasn't a mobile gun, though. It needed 3 people just to operate and carry it. The Brumby can be operated and carried by a single person. (Not two people doing one job each - one person doing both jobs.) With our 1910 Mag, we took a static gun and replaced it with a slightly more mobile gun, rather than replacing it with a truly mobile gun.

[Aseaheru]

 Compared to the autocannon, the 1910 was a mobile gun. Also, right you are. Brumbly truly is a LMG.

[Iituem]

Obviously, I support the ADDED TIGER flag.  Besides, look at Arstotzkan flags - in half of them, the star is crudely sewn on!

(I'm not a professional artist and I did the best I could. I hope the GM considers my design rather than my presentation, which I think is good.)

But seriously, what's with the Moskurg thread name?
