A pump action shotgun, to be precise, and because our current shotgun isn't pump action and is single shot, both of which make it a less then superior close combat weapon.

I'm in favour of the grenade launcher because it'll be helpful in the mountains as well as the other two regions, and might get us handheld grenades as well.  In addition, having white phosphorous grenades would help too.  Also, we have cheap SMGs, and although a pump action shotgun would be better, a soldier can only have one of the two.

[Kashyyk]

Is the SMG considered a primary or a secondary though? If it's a primary, then having a secondary shotgun would be a good idea, as soldiers can then also take rifles.

[Devastator]

That would change things up, yes.  I'm pretty sure they're both primary, though.

[Kashyyk]

I know our current shotgun is a secondary, but the tech list doesn't specify regarding the SMG, so I'm inclined to say it is a primary.

So, I think a pump-action, magazine fed (even if it's only 4-8 rounds) shotgun as a secondary weapon would be a real good choice, as all our troops could then take rifles (or substitutes) as well. This will also play into our fierce trait.

[Baffler]

Going for the SPAT actually.

I can confirm the SMG is primary from what was said in the Arstotzka thread. I doubt a full-length shotgun would count as secondary though.

[Kashyyk]

Ah yeah, you probably had this discussion already with your parachute rigs.

Hmm, how to improve on our shotgun whilst keeping it as a secondary...

Edit: What if we revised shotgun rounds for our five-shooter? It's 30 cal, so should be easily possible. Might be able to get some other silly rounds in there too (dragon breath anyone?)

[Kashyyk]

If none of you have any issues with this, I'll post it in OOC thread. (With those involved mentioned of course)

Spoiler: Immigration Pamphlet (click to show/hide)

Welcome to Moskurg, Friend!

That's right, you are a friend of the nation! Unlike in Arstotzka,
where all are viewed as cheap labor and called by their assigned
numbers.

The glorious nation of Moskurg is situated on the northern part of
the continent of Forenia. Moskurg has been situated here for as
long as anyone can remember. Everything was peaceful, yet, the soon-
to-be people of Arstotzka had other ideas. They broke the
long-lasting timeline of unity in an effort to subjugate their
population, destroy the environment of Forenia in an effort of
profit, and bring tyranny down upon any who oppose. Arstotzka,
thus, split, declaring war on the peaceful nation of Moskurg.
In an effort to save the citizens of Southern Forenia, Moskurg launched an offensive.
This offensive is destined with the task of freeing Forenia of the
tyrannical grip of Arstotzka.
                                                                                             
This is where you play your part in the grand campaign, Friend.
                                                                                             
With your bright mind and strong will, Forenia will be free of the evil behind Arstotzka.
Whether you design the weapons, or use them, you, the Nation's Friend, are
making the difference between a better Forenia, and a Forenia still under
the grasp of the Arstotzkan regime. Are you ready to become the Tiger's Descendant?
                                                                                             
We believe you are. So, come, Friend!
Into the fray!

The Charge of the Moskurg Horse

1. Half a mile, half a mile, Half a mile onward, All in the Desert of Death Rode the six hundred. "Forward, the Moskurg Horse! "Charge for the column!" he said: Into the Desert of Death Rode the six hundred.		4. Flash'd all their sabres bare, Flash'd as they turn'd in air, Sabring the Arstotzkans there, Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd: Plunged in the foul death Right thro' the line they broke; Moskurg and Arstotzka Reel'd from the sabre stroke Shatter'd and sunder'd. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred.
2. "Forward, the Moskurg Horse!" Was there a man dismay'd? Not tho' the soldier knew Arstotzka had blunder'd: Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the Desert of Death Rode the six hundred.		5. Death to right of them, Death to left of them, Death laid waste behind them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' the jaws of Death Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred.
3. Infantry to right of them, Infantry to left of them, The Column in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred.		6. When can their glory fade? O the wild charge they made! All the world wondered. Honor the charge they made, Honor the Moskurg Horse, Noble six hundred.

I find quite fitting that your national poem is about using obsolete tactics to get murdered by Arstotzka.

[Kashyyk]

Hey, where does it say we do this still? Last I checked we mobbed tanks with mounted rhinos/hippos

[Sheb]

At this point, our immigration slogan should be "Come to Arstotzka: 100% less chance of dying in horse charge".

[Kashyyk]

You missed the subscript of "100% more likely to get shot by an AA/AT gun"

[Baffler]

At this point, our immigration slogan should be "Come to Arstotzka: 100% less chance of dying in horse charge".

It's true. Arstotzka doesn't care enough about their infantry to give them transportation, so naturally they are unlikely to die while being transported.
