Well, at one end of the trenches we have the mountains, which we hold half of, and on the other end is the sea with those storms... How do you plan to encircle us?

[andrea]

even if we didn't hold the mountains, they wouldn't be able to transport armor and artillery across it. we can barely use machineguns and mortars up there!

There are such things as roads you know. The Struunks and motorcycles and SPATs all fight there. How do you think anyone gets supplies if there were no roads for horse carriages?

We have trucks, which obsoleted our horses. You still use them.

No Struunks and SPAT in the mountains either.

Moskurg can bring the fight to the trenches, but they can't sustain an armored push and artillery marching without armor support is ultimately killed by overwhelming machine gun fire, despite the advantages of accurate artillery. Arstotzka holds the fields

Shouldn't the advantage of accurate artillery be on our side. Moksburg utilizes a Howitzer without any recoil compensation. Our state of the art hydropneumatic systems allows us to fire accurate and twice as fast. Add to that that we have more artillery, and with longer range...

Planes spotting doesn't really work when your artillery can only shoot 4-5 km far, and has to be re-aimed after every shot (which makes walking closer to the target impossible).

Arstotzkan artillery is more accurate, but what matters more right now is that Moskurg troops are mobile where Arstotzkan ones are sitting in trenches.

This can't be right. Our trucks should be able to get hitched to our artillery, allowing them to be moved quickly. Our trucks are Expensive for combat purposes but considering what you said about artillery numbers, that should be enough.

Have you designed the carriages to be towed by trucks? If not, they'd still be horse-drawn.

All the truck would need is a peg or a hole in the back, depending on what the artillery has.

[Taricus]

Not the truck, the actual artillery carriages. I doubt you can reliably tow a gun which was designed to be pulled by horses without needing modification..

[andrea]

you likely can, with minimal modifications. What you might not be able to do is go any faster than the horses would, since that would increase global and local ( near the peg) stresses for which it may not be designed.

Horses and footmen go into the mountains. There is a lack of roads which are adequate for wheeled vehicles. If you control the mountains, you can spend a revision project to build a road through.

So far the Arstotzkan HV-19's have only been moving stuff to and from to battlefield. I suppose I don't see a reason why you can't start towing guns around on the battlefield, but they'll still need to be unhitched before firing- it would just be faster than horses. Adding tow hitches to carriages is a simple task that shouldn't need a design or revision action.

We need special hook-in-loop technology to tow this gun...

Glorious Arstotzka engineers much into better towing technology. Is like shooting Moskurg in complexity to us.

Glory to Arstotzka.

[Taricus]

If it like shooting Moskurg, then Arstotzkan engineers might take ten years to do it!

[Andres]

Is that why you stealing best in world SMG from Arstotzka? Because you thinking they can't shoot Moskurg? Must be so low morale at knowing they worse than glorious Arstotzka that they of killing themselves. I sad for you, Moskurgo.

Glory to Arstotzka.

[Sheb]

I suggest we design Champagne technology next turn to be ready to celebrate Arstotzkan victory.

Glory to Arstotzka!
