Spoiler: AS-ARAC-35 (click to show/hide)

A massive, armored train. It consists out of 35 wagons, giving it a total length of 700 meters. The train includes several engine cars. Some are coal fueled power generators(with redundancies), located at each end of the train, the others are electric and powered by the aforementioned engine cars. The train carries artillery of all sorts, ammunition and fuel, and is heavily armored. In addition, it has an aircraft catapult and can launch planes.

The top armor can be unfolded into a functional flight deck. Supported by temporally erected structures on either side, the flight deck revealed has a width of 13 meters. Two trains can be installed end to end to lengthen the runway to 1400 meters, or can be parked on parallel tracks to give the deck a width of 26 meters, wide enough to land a plane on.

We could also create a quick-pour concrete and use that to pave airstrips in the desert near the city we captured. That should give us the range to hit Moskurg withour having to do any sort of revision, and as a bonus we can use it to create instant fortifications so that they'll have to spend extra effort to retake any ground we capture. Even better, we can use it to plug up any caves we find and simply entomb them instead of fighting them

[andrea]

yes, but where is the impractical awesomeness in that?

[Aseaheru]

A paved desert, as in, the entire thing being paved, is rather impractical and awesome...

[andrea]

yes, but our Air Carrier Landkreusers would end up breaking any pavement anyway.

[tryrar]

Anyways, I vote for the GLu35 if it specifies using the Hi-low Pressure system, just so Sensei is clear how we're making a practical caseless underbarrel grenade launcher.

[Sheb]

Also, drop the AP round, or replace by HEAT. You don't have the velocity for that, it's even more ridiculous than the AP RR.

I vote for the Train Carrier. We have railroad tracks all the way to the capital. And even if it end up being National Effort, we don't need many of it.

Edit: And if we win the expense credits with our handgun, we can use both expense credits on the trains to make them ridiculously common, pack the whole railway with them and just invade Moskurg city with tanks on our moving autobahn.

[andrea]

we don't need many of it. In fact, I believe just one would help greatly.
as for the expense credits:
mwhahahahaha.

ok, that is enough for me to switch vote.

+1 to train carrier AS-ARAC-35

I'm so torn between going with the sensible idea of the Grenade launcher and the GLORY of the Asarac

Well we kinda have an Expense credit just sitting around already. In hindsight, we should've used it on our T33 but since it's now gonna be Expensive anyway, there might not be a point.

Glory to Arstotzka.

[andrea]

by the way, I think the Asarac needs more locomotive power. And might require a double track to move properly.

[Sheb]

Double tracks would likely prevent us from using it as-is.

[Andres]

Let's actually make an attempt to capture the capital. If we just faff about with silly ideas, Moskurg will likely start asking for things in the peace treaty. It must be a completely unconditional surrender! Glory to Arstotzka!

[Funk]

Double tracks would likely prevent us from using it as-is.

Then let make it a land train.

[Sensei]

Alright, looks like votes are in favor of the land train so far...
