It is a gamble anyway. We don't even know which one is the first and which one is the second.

I'm assuming it was first revision and then credit?

I say we just petition the G.M. to lets us steal both technologies. I mean, it is a 50% chance of getting each one and it is blind, and they get a whole free revision action... Otherwise I am tempted to go for the monarchist design, I have a good feeling about it.

Ore for the ressource. It's needed for all our stiff.

And yeah, obsolete the Dover.
You have a little, erm, uhh, typo in there, umm, but, y-yes, we probably need more of those hard metals...

Kashyk, Can we use our spying action to negotiate temporal or permanent alliance with pirates? And\or trading techs with them? 
This is a thing that I would like, I would gladly bump up the cost of our 8 pounders for a turn if it means that the pirates like us and the loyalists have a legitimate naval threat.

You could spend an espionage action to try and convince an independent to act in a certain way,  yes.

Nah, the Pirates are going to be fighting the Brits any way since they control the whole sea. Let's get the rifles.

Quote from: Von Sheb Plan (totally not stolen from UR with a slight modification)
1) Produce more air pistols for one more turn of cavalry superiority
2) Espionage - Steal loyalists's revision credit
3) Focus one: Build a fort and protected port at the peninsula that was attacked the last time.
4) Focus two: Attack fort Alton from three directions
5) Offer our brig to USA.
6) Invent some exotic goods for Brits (anyone for the task? We can't give it without a fight)

I think we got a consensus on the production part, still arguing on the espionage.

Could we give 8pounder cannons to the pirates to better arm their ships?

They're currently fielding 6-pdrs, so they'd need to revise their ships. Why not, if it doesn't require a spy action.

Maybe go for sabotage instead of stealing? Sabotaging loyalists shipyards can make them more vulnerable against pirates.

Stealing a good design give us advantage against both enemy, sabotaging the Brits also help Atterton.

Espionage: steal loyalist's rifle (it's a good design that won't get obsolete anytime soon) or steal steam engine (but I'm not so sure we should do it right now)

1) Produce more air pistols for one more turn of cavalry superiority
2) Espionage - Steal loyalists's revision (not a credit)
3) Focus one: Build a fort and protected port at the peninsula that was attacked the last time.
4) Focus two: Attack fort Alton from three directions to cut off that bulge near Bradford
5) Offer our brig to USA.

So,  are you guys going with this?

Yeah, I just want to steal the credit instead of the revision, but it's not a big change. Let's roll with that.

Oh, and offer to sell long-haired chinchilla ropes that may or may not actually be made from hair from the children working in the factories and/or from unidentified battlefield corpses and/or anything that happens to walk past when nobody is looking to the Brittish...
