Sensei said we could name the Mountain island - as per Kot's suggestion a while back (and wanting to name these two islands after our aces), I suggest we name it Konstantin, after Konstantin the Bear, who used his weapon to induce an avalanche on some Moskurg troops.

Plains island would then eventually be named Husayn

[piratejoe]

I to, like the name Konstantin for the mountain

[Kashyyk]

I'd prefer to use the Moskurger name first. We've already got a reference to Arstotzka's hero of old with Myark after all.

Konstantin seems like a fine name. Everyone can get behind a good war hero, even if for some of the population it was one they were fighting against.

Well, Konstantin fits with the mountains.

[Powder Miner]

I wanted to use Husayn's name for the plains, since that's where he did his thing, after all.

Can we please, please revise our tanks with snorkels to help landing and ford rivers instead?

Actually, some of the feats attributed to Myark in legend are considered patently absurd today, and scholas debate whether "Myark" was a real person at all.

Guys, we REALLY need that landing ship. Our tank losses aren't as disasterous at the moment as out inability to fight back on islands we've already lost is.

[Taricus]

Heat is something we can deal with, especially with slat armour. We do need to get the lander or the radar though.

Revision: Explosive Reactive Armor.
Essentially two metal plates sandwiching an explosive liner, ERA is a rather simple design that has never been deployed for the same reason the medium-caliber assault rifle has never been deployed; no one has ever though of it before.  When struck by a shaped charge, the ERA section explodes, both forcing the offending projectile away and distributing the force of the attack across a wider section of armor.  This prevents penetration of the vehicle.  ERA is segmented into multiple sections that can each prevent an attack only once before being replaced.  Multiple strikes to the same location will not be prevented.  ERA is modular and comes in an upgrade kit, allowing tanks in the field to be equipped with the new armor and have damaged sections replaced between combat.

Because we're suffering in the plains, tundra, and jungle because our armor is outclassed, this revision should be an easy, yet effective, advantage we can roll out.  It will affect all armored vehicles and beat enemy HEAT rounds.  It's also simple enough that it could very likely be an Easy revision.

You're literally playing with fire here, it'll be hard to do in a revision.

Very Hard: 2
Explosive Reactive Armor: The good news is, putting plates of explosives on the outside of your tank is a great way to deform HEAT shells. Unfortunately, it's also a great way to deform the tank. Making matters worse, it all goes off at once, and it goes off even if so much as an armor-piercing rifle round hits it. This basically turns your tanks into rolling death traps.

Strategy Phase: You will need to choose an alliance, and a weapon to send them, in addition to your usual battle plans.

I am well aware I'm against the tide here, but I very much don't want to get involved with the Allies. The (successful) island-hopping & carriers doctrine of the US is very relevant to us anyway.

So, um, do we need to specify that we are not going to use that ERA? 'cos we are not going to use that ERA.

Let's call it "Project Time Period" (cos ERA), and keep our miserable failure a secret. 

Anyway. Plains, Jungle, Axis, dunno.
