Also, should we spy on the Brits? It seems a bit risky...

Yeah, for numbers we have motorbikes.

Let Andres' dream come true (for one turn)

Spend Expense on the SMG

Funny how game mechanics will make those SMGs disappear next turn

Actually, I'm wondering if we can save the credit...or does it go away if we don't spend it this turn?

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.

True enough, saving it can help us in the future when we'll have something very expensive to use.

Save credit if we can, if not then give a SMG to every damned soldier

You won't have enough ammo, cleaning/maintenance/replacement parts, and of course some guns are lost in battle. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :P

+1. Also, Recall our T15s to the rear lines. They're not much more useful than semi-mobile artillery now, so no use throwing them into the fight. In fact, I'd just go ahead and obsolete them...

Why obsolete them? They fill a niche as mobile artillery that the armored car doesn't fill just yet.

Fine, keep them around, but they are rear line tanks.

It sounds like they are effectively our only way to make progress against trenches, that seems like a bad idea to me.

Unless something bad happens and we get pushed out of the desert completely, we're not going to be dealing with threnches for the foreseeable future :P

Good point, I suppose.  Still, I'm somewhat concerned our armored cars wont be adequate to assail fortified positions in general, even if trenches aren't really doable in the current theatres.

Our armored car is actually significantly faster and stronger than the tank, and the armament, which worse, doesn't matter as our autocannon can kill anything they put against it.

Not much we can do about that at the moment, since the t15s are slow as balls and armored with wet paper-getting them close enough to bombard a fortified position would be quite the feat.

haven't had time to write anything big or good, but I wrote something about the latest espionage incident that tries to paint them in a bad light and references the league of nations.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

of course, if we get caught spying on them it would be embarassing. What do you think? I'll see what else I can write... I was thinking about something in the style of a scientific publication arguing on the inferiority of Moskurg race ( we are in the '20s, time of scientific racism and eugenics!) but it would take a lot of time.

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?
