Fulcrum Armour, V2:
Fulcrum Armour has incredible potential; it taking a little extra work is acceptable. Our first priority is increasing the coverage and durability.
For coverage we shall, alas, abandon the flowing robes of our forefathers, in favour of a more modern form. Resembling a standard trenchcoat, albeit with the addition of a deep hood and a facemask, the new model should prove a lot more practical. The addition of a hood lends an air of mystery, setting our mages apart from the common soldier, as well as increasing protection, obviously.
To improve durability, a number of thin steel wires will be added to the weave, to bear the brunt of the stress as force is redirected. These should not make the coat significantly harder to move in, whilst still increasing durability to the point where a single bullet is not enough to shred the entire coat.
Improving mana efficiency and adding a 'stand-by' mode will be tackled in the future.
Revision: Fulcrum Armour, V2 (2) [Hard]
Version 2 of the Fulcrum Armor includes weaving thin steel wires throughout the fabric to assist in stress handling and force redirection, as well as changing the Armor from a simple cloak to a hooded trenchcoat and facemask.
We fail to incorporate steel wires (attempting to add a spool of steel wire to the factory loom resulted in a rather disastrous malfunction), but we do switch to a trenchcoat. This represents a tactical advantage over the previous iteration through the use of sleeves, and the facemask (currently just the collar snapped up to go over the nose) should help cover up more of the Mage's exposed bits. The open bottom of the coat represents a vulnerability to upward attacks such as from landmines, but due to the way the Armor works a shrapnel attack such as that would be lethal regardless.
Design Phase, Turn -1Our design team proudly presents the
new emblem for the 208th Abbraccio Mage Support Alpha Company! The
BOLD and multi-faceted shield represents our drive to defend our country, as well as our historical basis in Venice and magical prowess! The emblem is carefully painted onto the door to our conference room, along with our company designation. The hasty paper sign has been replaced, and moral is up! (

Additionally, we've come up with a kick-ass motto that the 208th will stand by. "Magia e Scienza unite per la Vittoria"; roughly translated to mean "Magic and Science Combined for Victory" - or more simply, "Together for Victory". Spirits are up, and the team works harder than ever to develop magical weapons for our proud country. (

Lastly, we have presented a new flag to King Gioffe II for his approval.
The Chevroned Cross is a truly impressive flag, and before we can even get into the symbolism of all the details he approves it. King Gioffe II quickly places an order for the flag to be mass-produced and distributed throughout the kingdom.
Our Political Standing has Improved.
It is now the Design Phase.7 Dice Available.
