isn't the deadliest ray already this turn's design? (utter failure that it was). I suppose we could try again, but I would wait until next winter to do so.

I figured we wouldnt be deploying our radar this turn, so we'd try again next time.

Since we are in the strategy phase:

Quote
(1) Finish the attack on Western Tereshkova:.....Zanzetkuken
(1) Land on Titan:............................................Zanzetkuken
(1) Invade Vlanlados:......................................Zanzetkuken


New vote later on.

As for next turn, to be honest, we should do something else.  The pattern seems to show that the universe hates us going after Radar, so we probably should deal with something else, such as fixing the fact that our Armor is noted to be objectively inferior to the Canallan forces while our infantry is only arguably superior.  With the Vodka being decomplexified, we're pretty much set for Naval theaters for now anyway and we also have a plane good enough that they can't surpass us easily.

As such, I would recommend that we create a Tank to fix the armor situation (perhaps a Heavy Tank, as we have a good medium tank in the T33) and a landing craft that can land our non-Salamander ground vehicles on their beaches/inland via airdrop.  Either can be designed or revised thanks to the fact we have the T33/T2 and the Sea Lift/Archer we can use as basis.  It may, however, be more pragmatic for designing the Landing Craft and revising the Tank, as the latter would be a general upscaling and the former has some quirks that differentiate them from regular ships.

We don't have the manpower to invade Vlanlados. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we were forced to forgo attacking in a different lane in order to invade Vlanlados, and it isn't worth the time. We'll deal with them after we deny the tundra materials that keeps their jets from getting more expensive.

Its not exactly an if we lose a lane we can attack by invading them, its most certainly something that would happen, I mean, it happened with both of the other small islands near us, why wouldn't it happen to this one?

The "universe" doesnt "hate" us for going after radar. We just got unlucky.  Rolling a 1 doesn't mean it's not a good idea.

Not seeing the advantage of invading them for whatever potential military cost it might have - they don't even have any resources as far as I know.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
