I also support getting on the politics early. If we can gain allies early, that could cut down on french options.

Alright, redoing the table since I cocked it up badly. Anyway, we should focus on mobilising more, as that'll save us a lot of PP in the long run if we can get twice as many men per PP than what they can. If we're lucky it'll mean we can easily surpass them in manpower.

If we do that, though, we're going to lose out on metal production that we need to keep cranking out armored soldiers and field artillery.

[Taricus]

At our current production we'll be able to keep cranking out four entire divisions worth of troops per month with steel to spare. So long as we keep our steel production in parity with the mount of mobilisation actions we do we'll be fine.

Captain General gunner Gruber von Hanz says that they would rather steel and mobilization where prioritized, but will abstain from voting for now.

Let's get some politicking done now, then we can work on recruiting faster.

So, it seems that our enemy is planning on simply being the USSR in world war 2, just drown the superior equipped enemy with superior numbers. I believe that we should focus more on mobilization to make sure we can catch up to them quicker while spending less political points in the long run. I also believe we should as a secondary priority continue to push the Netherlands away from the cheese eaters, maybe we can appeal to the fact that Queen Wilhelmina is a monarch like our Kaiser, and bring up the history of how the frog's treated their old king and queen...Either way, they would be useful if they decide to invade Belgium or get Belgium on their side.

[Doomblade187]

Given that our politics are public, I want to maintain pressure on the Netherlands. I also realized that we lose more production/recruitment if we switch points into the other after a buildup on one side.

Basically, 10% of 15000 is more than 10% of 10000.

So we need to decide which we favor, steel or recruitment, and focus that. Also, if we keep political pressure, we force them to spend points int hat area.

[Taricus]

We need both steel and manpower, so we should favour a balance between the two.

[piratejoe]

I would say we need manpower more then steel, but only barely more. Taricus is right in that we should find a balance, but I think we should push for the investment of mobilization now so that we don't end up being burred in frogs.

[Madman198237]

It doesn't matter how many corpses you're buried under, so long as you can dig yourself out afterwards. We just need to be tough enough to dig ourselves back out, and I think the way we're setting things up is going to do that for us.

It's worth noting that we are, effectively, doubling the number of human beings they have to kill (Sadly, not doubling the amount of damage that each person does).
