I think that would be a revision, since thats what building roads/railroads are.

Also, dident Sensei say that we can still use boats for logistics in the plains, and that we just cant base ships there?

Yeah, but unless you can convince him that that's somehow a revision, we'll have to design a boat :P

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.

 Like I said, unless something new got thrown at us I think it may be time for a boat.

Hey guys! Poking in since I'm writing at least part of the report now. You're SAVING your expense credit, right? I meant to say, yeah you can do that.

Building a bay is not a revision project, it is a terraforming project. You are unlikely to successfully research terraforming equipment before about year 2100 or so. :P

Nope, I believe that the consensus is that we will use it for cheap smg's.

So, I was thinking should nothing go wrong with whatever we design, we should definitely focus on logistics in some fashion. I say we revise our train network to push further into the plains.
Actually, we're trying to push further into the Desert. We have 100% full control of the Plains and we're now on our way to Moskurg proper.

Begin production of AS-MV19-ALs, AS-M17As, and anti-aircraft 1910s.

Glory to Arstotzka.

EDIT:

The consensus has indeed switched back to using the Expense credit for cheap SMGs.

We could make some dedicated construction vehicles to help turn out more ore from the plains and support more expensive designs and less expensive armored cars.

Faster trains means that troops, food, and ammo gets to the front lines more quickly. This could be rather important considering we're close to attacking Moskurg in their home turf. They'll be fighting far away from home.

We really should have made those armored cars inexpensive as a stop gap until we get more ore.

We got tired of -  "SMG is wunderwaffe make it cheap" thing every damned turn and decided to give Andres what he wants, even if saving credit could be rather useful for future very expensive\national effort things.

I am going to not have a computer for most of the day.
Maybe somebody else could write something about our great qualities that make us suited to the league?

no time to write properly but... we are going to host a small fair of arstotkan science, culture and industry. In the opening ceremony there will be plane acrobatics, motorbike shows  and a showcase of the new vehicle. ( plus a normal parade)

Inside much space will be dedicated to our industrial achievements ( for exampple a room with the details of our SMG, the first ever fielded in large numbers, and trains and mining equipment, things like that) and to our department of mineralogy. Being a nation with abundant mineral resources, we have a stirking collections of minerals of all kinds, including some big and exceptionally beautiful geodes. talk about possible exchange with their own museums.

Now I must leave compputer. if you approve, post in the main thread, posssibly after streamlining a bit. emphasis on minerals and I suggest on our aluminium industry ( a full aluminium armored vehicle is no small feat I think)

I think were mistaken about what expensive means. Not Expensive doesnt always mean every soldiers has one, it means we have as many as we could possibly need. So for something like a heavy tank, it'd be enough to equip all our armored corps, but not to give each soldiers one.

An American company is looking for a weapon suitable for civilian big game hunting in South America and Africa. Must be powerful, man-portable, accurate and have the option for single or semiautomatic fire. They are offering one Expense Credit. See what I did there? I got you all hooked on expense credits, and now only one of you gets one.

This thing is pretty much made for the Moskburgians. I don't think there's any point in trying to get it.

An Experimental Allied U-Boat has sunk near Forenia, as an espionage action you might attempt to investigate it for a Design Credit. Sharks are a hazard. Having a domestically made watercraft will grant a bonus.

This is bad. It's a major advantage for the Moskurgians, with their 2 spies.

Didn't they loose a spy?

Also, I think we settled the question of cheap SMGs. Brumbleys outrange oyr SMgs, and without our motorcycle support we'd have not made any real headway in the jungle.

It comes back.

Don't forget our armor support. The enemy has no armour piercing shells, so I'm pretty sure it can dodge frontal glancing shots.
