Aaaah come on, are we really just gonna give up like that though? Moskurgers still hava lot in them, 'till the bitter end!
((rather, its Sensei's college starting in a week and a half. Is it that hard to let the GM take a rest?))

we have time for a couple more turns, unless for Sensei this became a drain rather than entertaiment, in which case we might want to cut it early and give him some rest before lessons begin again.

A couple of turns might also be all the time we need to get your capital.

578ml is painful. Maybe 600ml or 550ml, or even 580ml, but not 578ml.

Well, game's over.  Out of curiosity, Sensei, had we designed a break-action grenade launcher instead of the mine, would Moskurg had regained the ore?

No thanks to shading things pro-moskurg so much in the end, though.  Losing 1/3 of the desert, and fighting in the capital, should have restricted our resources more already.  It didn't need to be dragged out that long so we can continue our stream of incompetence for a couple more months.

But a pint is, like, the perfect size. Half a liter is too small, but a full liter is too much at once (assuming Moskurg uses the British pint.)

Aaaah come on, are we really just gonna give up like that though? Moskurgers still hava lot in them, 'till the bitter end!

It's not over until Arstotzka flies that washed-out bar rag they call a banner over the burned out ruins of the last Moskurger emplacement. Or Sensei says it's over, whichever comes first.

Hehe, all this really make me feel like we're in 1984.

It's been over for about fifteen turns.  It's just that the goalposts keep moving so that Arstotzka can continue having objectives to seize.

To be fair, we might have had a chance ten turns ago, but we managed to blow four consecutive actions for the loss, which sadly, is about normal performance for Team Moskurg.

Oh my Armok, so emo. ;)

Yeah, I did move the goalposts a bit, in Moskurg's favor, when I decided there was an extra buffer zone between capturing the plains, and moving towards Moskurg's capitol. However, I would have done this either way, I think. Otherwise capturing the plains would both give a faction more resources, AND access to their enemy's doorstep, which seems like too much at once. I like the idea of them having a bit more time to play around with those resources (and really need to take advantage of them, which took them a bit bu they ultimately did) before D-day. Or AS-D34, as Arstotzkan calendars call it.

I really liked the rebels too. This will probably disappoint you to hear, but the main reason for them not coming back in a meaningful way was, in order of importance A) the last few turns I've been getting out late and I didn't want to delay them by writing more stuff and B) logically it would probably screw Moskurg more and they were already on the defensive. I would bring them back now, even, but it would probably just constitute prolonging the game alot.

I won't be doing a big campaign where you guys conquer Berlin or Tokyo (or Washington), or Forenia goes to war with Tropico, or what have you. At least, not consecutively after this ends, I think the idea makes sense and is pretty cool. I'm going to run a simpler forum game once this is over. I still might run a sequel to this, but after a nice long break. If somebody else wants to do that, they can.

If Moskurg does want to make a conditional surrender rather than be conquered or be in for a very long, slow forum game if they somehow turn the tide, then the treaty will be signed after one more year of fighting, so you can still get to see whatever crazy designs you have in action. You might have to override High Command to do it though...

So, we need to design something so glorious that they have a seizure.
Apparently that's what we're doing now, but shshshshs.

I think they are not the only ones who will have a seizure :P

What are the costs and effects of mangalloy in terms of vehicle armour?

EDIT: Just thought of a really good and true phrase: Arstotzka is dankest while Moskurg is stankest.
