Q: How to distinguish a Brave MOSKURGIAN from a coward arstotzkian?
A: Fire a Horsekiller into the air. Who is still standing STRONK is a MOSKURGIAN.

Arsetotzka is a joke unto itself on a magnitude that Moskurg cannot replicate such a joke.

Good lord.

From what I understand we're an arms designer, meaning we design weapons. Do we only do that or do we basically control all military technology, including armour?
In addition to firearms, you will be responsible for armor and vehicles. Of course, for now you can only do one project each year, so choose wisely.

1910 Battle Report

Arstotzka's army now contains the following:

Moskurg starts with the following weapons and resources:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1910 was an impressive year for both countries. Both successfully designed machineguns, though infantry are mostly armed with single-shot weapons. The AS-1910 is a sensible belt-fed machinegun, suitable for emplacements, and operated by a crew. It suffers from a little bit of difficult operation due to heat. The M1 Stallion is an enormous machinegun firing the less sensible .60 caliber round. It has to be drawn behind a horse, so it's less mobile, and it also has a low rate of fire. However, it has more effective range and some ability to penetrate cover. The Arstotzkans also introduce the Nosin Single, an accurate, simple, bolt action rifle for general infantry use without the Nosin-Magant's magazine. The Moskurgians also created the Model 52 steam engine, converting their old engines to oil burners.

The war continues on all fronts.

In the east, on the wide-open plains, the sudden availability of both sides to deploy machine guns ruins the previously favored tactics of infantry lines and cavalry charges, on both sides. Fights stall to trench warfare. Over the no-man's land, Arstotzkan soldiers have an advantage due to their ability to deploy more machineguns, and hide them in sandbags. Arstotzkans gain ground by disabling Stallion crews, and then charging forward. Within trenches, the swords and shotguns of Moskurg soldiers gives a tremendous advantage. Many Arstotzkans die due in close combat to their unreliable sidearms. The Arstotzkans gain ground, overall, until hitting areas of abandoned british colonial towns. Fighting building to building, Moskurg's sword-n-shotgun soldiers have the advantage, and the M1 Stallion can easily kill soldiers hiding behind brick walls. The AS-1910's advantage in rapidity of fire is diminished somewhat as crews sometimes have to wait for hot barrels to cool down.

In the mountains, engagements happen at longer ranges, and both sides have difficulty deploying machineguns. Arstotzkans favor the tactic of ambushing enemies at range, and the Nosin Single gives common soldiers the advantage over Moskurgians wielding less accurate Horsekiller rifles. Both sides have difficulty deploying machine guns here, so battles for mines almost always go to the defending faction, who have the advantage of an established road.

In the west, in the warm jungle, both sides have reliability issues. The Stallion M1 has a tendency to get its wagon stuck in the mud, and the AS-1910 and Nosin-Magant tend to jam in the heat. There is not much fighting here, but a small advantage goes to Moskurg.

On the Moskurg homefront, the new Model 52 oil burning steam engine is proving more economical to operate due to the wide availability of oil. However, nearly every operational Model 52 eventually suffers a cabin fire due to an emergency pressure value which spilled oil into the cabin, instead of out of the train, having been assembled backwards. Moskurg will not gain any additional ore for 1911.

The 1911 Design Phase has begun.

Is this a bad roll for the model 52 or will it rectify itself?

This is a problem the Model 52 will continue to suffer from until it is revised.

I have proof that dirty Arses were behind sabotage, because dirty arses are also clumsy and leave important documents where anyone can see them.

So if the Mountains gives us Ore, what do the swamps and plains give us? Where does the Oil come from? How do we get more Research facilities?

Query.

How does escalation of resource costs work? I mean, Artztoska has 1 oil, meaning that anything which uses more than 1 oil becomes expensive. So a locomotive, which would require Oil 3 (locomotives are bigger than car), would then be expensive, or very expensive? And does it escalate past that?

Since Moskurg gets no Ore, does that mean they can't build anything? Does it mean that everything becomes more Expensive?

Moskburg still has one Ore. We haven't taken their mines yet.

But it does mean they can't actually build anything for their common soldiers that's larger than a small sidearm/simple gun. Moskburg still uses breechloaders, after all.

Oh yes right. Somehow I'd assumed you used muzzle loading, then confused the terminology.

Interestingly, Moskburg never developed muzzle loading technology. Strange people.
