QF Tauret Field Artillery Piece model 1898: Well, we managed to do it, and when I say do it, I mean do it all. We managed to make flares, armour piercing shells, a shield to protect the crew, a proper shell that actually fits, the over heating fixed, the bullets fixed...everything. It was a bit close to finish the shield at the end, but we managed to do it with some time to spare and now we can gaze upon the fruits of our labor with pride. The Karikhitan navy will take a beating once we make a new ship to use the new artillery, and they will do us well on the ground front of war, especially with the flares to tell the crews where to fire while they remain safe behind our lines. This combined with the new heavy machine gun like revolver cannon actually working, will prove to hit Karikhita where it hurts!
It is now the Battle Phase, Project Hippo is finally a resounding success, and the Pharaoh is quite pleased with the results, even if it took a while.
