From a Moskurgian point of view, there's no real downside, either an upside or a neutral side. So, I'd say A, as that seems fairest. If we want to improve our RR, we'll have to design HEAT rounds, like Arstotzka has had to, compared to B which gives us tech because Arstotzka complained. Maybe if Moskurg had to do a revision action to convert the RR HEAT for use in other weapons first,  I'd be more open to it.

All in all though, I'm off the opinion that GM's word is law, and so we should've just left it.

Actually, this isn't a bad idea. We didn't get HEAT for the rest of our weapons when we developed our RPG. It could be a similar thing with the RR. I'm just gonna call this option D.

I support option D with a secondary vote of option C.

A question(s).

What is the tetriary Colour of Arstotzka? Primary and secondary is proably red and gold respectively, but I need a third one. What would it be?

Also, for future reference, what would be tetriary colour of Moskurg? Primary and secondary is blue and silver respectively, but I need a third one. What would it be?

By the way, are there any colours of Forenia? I suppose that primay and secondary could be red and blue respectively, but I need a third one. What would it be?

I've always thought of Forenia as being green rather than blue and/or red.

Making a flag for the continent Kot?

I think it would be maroon/red, gold, and black or white for Arstotzka...

Not yet, but I thought of it.

Dunno, black or white could work I think. I'll check.
EDIT:
White could work, after all, we're having a lot of snow here. As long as it's not yellow snow.

Well blue and red could be from the UK occupation.

Actually any united flag for the continent would likely be from the colonial period since the two nations formed right afterwards.

Fuck that period. They tried to stop us from fighting.

How about this for a united Forenian flag? If someone should ever actually win the war.



Moskurg blue and Arstotzkan crimson symbolize the constituent Forenian nations. The black bar is a remembrance of the conflict of their history, but it is set behind the bright rising sun which represents the glory of our shared future.

That's my point, I doubt there would be a united flag except by outside forceful control.

Sun creates desert and melts snow.
0/10 biased towards Moskurgs.

That's my point, I doubt there would be a united flag except by outside forceful control.
Or inside forceful control.
Really, the united flag proably would be the one of winning faction.
or something else actually, but I'm not saying what just yet.

There is actually a downside. In regards to option C, they're essentially giving us HEAT, without the technology. Now, given that the shell in a RR is essentially similar to that of an actual cannon, applying the shot to the rounds in our tanks wouldn't be much of an issue for us. I know Sensei's been lax in updating our tech list, but deliberately getting him to ignore that is more than a little unfair.

I don't see how not getting an additionall bonus after the GM made an error in your favor is, in any way, unfair. Besides, we designed a HEAT warhead for our RPG, but didn't get it for anything else, so there's precedent there.

Anyway, you seem to misunderstand Option C. Option C is not about giving you HEAT without giving you the tech. Option C says that you had (primitive) HEAT all along, because your APHE acted and is described like a HEAT shell, rather than an RL APHE shell, thus solving everything with a simple rename to avoid further confusion.

Well what's the difference? If you get option C, you get the ability to kill our tanks and no HEAT technology. Without option C, you get the ability to kill our tanks and no HEAT technology, except the method with which you kill our tanks makes no sense. That's assuming option C doesn't give you the tech.
