3) Install our overabundance of artillery and machine guns (literally, we have tons of those.)
Double-literally, since the artillery pieces literally weigh tons.

On a side note, does this advance mean we're back fighting through quaint little English villages?

It probably does, since certainly it isn't our tanks doing the heavy lifting, with their 10:1 numerical disadvantage. Probably some artillery as well.
They're not at a numerical disadvantage. We don't have enough Ore and the treads are complex, making the tanks Very Expensive. They don't have enough Ore and the complexity of the motor makes the SPATs Very Expensive. Numerical equality.

I noticed this earlier but forgot to mention it, but in the paragraph detailing the trench action you repeatedly called the T15s 'F15s'. The 'T' stands for 'Tank'.

Mountains: Arstotzka 2, Moskurg 2
Jungle: Arstotzka 3, Moskurg 2
Plains: Arstotzka 3, Moskurg 2
Arstotzka Wins Everywhere! Except in spies. I blame whoever decided to have our spies shot whenever they succeed.

(Atleast, thats my explanation for lack of XP)

GM said that spies are chosen from only among those with learning disabilities.

Even those with learning disabilities learn stuff, and can succeed.

On that note, if your T15 is flying, then something is seriously wrong, and you should consult the manual. Maybe even write techsupport.

On a side note, a question.

Why did Trench Warfare stop?

I did some recalculation here and determined that Arstotzka would've captured the Plains entirely by now, assuming Moskurg was at 4/5 when they started feeling frost. If they felt frost at 5/5, we'd be at 5/5 too, so we wouldn't have captured the Plains yet but we'd be close to doing so.

Well, let's see :

1910 : Arztotskans gain ground (reach towns)
1911 : Moskburg regains ground
1912 : Moskburg gains ground ( and see frost)
1913 : Arztotska regains ground
1914 : Stalemate
1915 : Arztotska gains lot of ground gained
1916 : Arztotska gains ground.

That assumes gains are equal though

Ultimately it doesn't matter, gains sound like they aren't equal every time. Just enjoy the fun battle reports :)

Yup, if only I wasn't completely inept at drawing, I'd come up with a map.

The mountains need to be near-evenly split. Other than that, it's good.
