I would like a AA gun to keep them out of the plains and mountains, alternatively we could go for a two seater biplane, with low cal machine guns in front, and an auto-cannon for the observer?

We're going for an aluminum monoplane fighter next turn, one that preferably has 1-2 autocannons and a pair of machineguns

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

here is another piece. I tried to avoid offending modern sensibilities as much as possible for the historical context and subject.
it is a rushed job.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

PS: fixed some tags in the images

very well! then somebody will deliver a couple local newspapers to the british delegation , with those articles in prominent places.

PS: they are here to assess our armies as well. I suppose they could be impressed by our high quality aluminium use.

that is true...
but the stealing gets us a revision credit, so I believe it is generic notes. Besides, they are not engineers and we don't give them accurate plans. more like a parade, and then boast our great aluminium ndustry without going in details. But I think this part is done automatically, without our input.

Hey, don't forget the illustration to go with your text!


Fig. 1. The superiority of the Arstotzkan race is self evident from anatomical features. Centuries of coitus wit tigers have left the Moksburger with the typical small cranium and extended jaws of the lower races.

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!

I am busy right now and can't add it directly to the article. Post the picture yourself in the OOC thread. This is going to be an easy victory :D

 I think that the British at the time hadmostly stopped being that flavor of crazy, it may make them support the imperialists.

I think in this time period it was still popular. It is only after WWII that eugenics and race thinking really fell out of favor among western nations ( and not even completely)

 From what little info I have been able to find on racism during that time period, it looks like England was one of the less racist areas...

It was a popular idea in England... but it wasn't a dominant idea in England.

Who cares? We're going to get brownie points for the effort.
