So 4 tokens to design/revision, none to research/expeditions?

Correct.

Correct.

Sounds like the plan to me.

Cold Season, 1921, ABC Phase

 Work begins on retooling our workshop for production of M1917 rifles and wagons, and construction of an additional line started. With progress going well on it, it appears that the team assigned chose to start work on a second. Both lines will be available for production at the start of the warm season.
 
 Equipment handed out has received some comment, mostly in the form of noting that equipment with ammunition not produced at this time will necessarily have reduced utility in combat.
 

WELCOME TO THE D&E PHASE FOR COLD SEASON, 1921
You have four tokens for this phase.

Alright, so, after some discussion with AseaHeru, it turns out that if we wanted a good helmet design, it would have to be a separate design to the uniform. All-in-all, I think we'd get much more benefit out of a helmet than we would a uniform (especially considering how much artillery they have), and a helmet could basically be our uniform for now, since our troops will know anyone with a helmet is most likely an ally.

We'll be able to use the extra line currently being constructed to put them into production, I think.

I propose:

Spoiler: Infanterie-Helm-1921 (click to show/hide)

The Infanterie-Helm-1921 (I-H-1921, for short), is a 1.8 mm thick steel helmet. It is complete with an adjustable suspension system on the inside that can be customized to fit the user's head. The helmet has an oval shaped bill going around the full length of the helmet that slopes downward to provide further protection to the neck, face, and sides of the head from shrapnel. The helmet is painted a solid olive by default, but soldiers may paint the helmets to better camouflage themselves in their operating environment. Comes with optional helmet netting that can be used to attach local flora to better blend in to the environment.

On top of:

*Reverse-engineer the Stielhandgranate.

I like the sound of all of this, and the helmet has all of the things I was going to suggest.

[Aseaheru]

 Rejoice in my failures, for I have found that I have been shortchanging each side four tokens for this turn. I blame Refit&Repair.
 These tokens may be retroactively assigned to the ABC phase, or assigned on further.

[coleslaw35]

EDIT: So we have 6 tokens to work with...

After some discussion with AseaHeru, it appears that in order to produce carts at higher production capabilities, we would need a sawmill to process raw lumber into the materials required. As such:

*Use a token to build a sawmill in West Neu Salsburg. Use a token to rush construction.
*Use a token to build a 5th production line on our one and only workshop (so that we can build the machineguns when they are completed.)

And since that would leave us with two tokens... What if we use them to reverse-engineer the 10 cm M. 14 Feldhaubitze and its ammo so that we can more effectively respond to their artillery with artillery of our own? What do you think, Zultan? Otherwise, we could just go for the uniform, but I personally think getting artillery into the field would have a greater impact than a uniform. And like I've said previously, our helmet could effectively be the "uniform" until then.

[Aseaheru]

 They also require metal, be it iron, copper, steel, aluminium, or whatever.


As pointed out to me by your enemy, designs are two tokens, not three. Thus, I owe yall a new token. You now have 5 tokens to spend wherever alongside your current four tokens for design&revision

I agree with all of this, and artillery is more important than uniforms.

[coleslaw35]

So then it seems the plan is:

*Use a token to build a sawmill in West Neu Salsburg. Use a token to rush construction.
*Use a token to build a 5th production line on our one and only workshop (so that we can build the machineguns, artillery, or helmets when they are completed.) After further thought, this would leave us too few tokens to design the helmet, and we already have two lines being constructed so those should do for now.
*Reverse-engineer the 10 cm M. 14 Feldhaubitze and its ammo so that we can respond to their artillery with artillery of our own.
*Reverse-engineer the Stielhandgranate.
*Design the aforementioned helmet.

Comes with optional helmet netting that can be used to attach local flora to better blend in to the environment.

After gauging the success/unsuccess of our assault on Berek, we can consider our next move. Possibly on the ironband mine/processing facility in Selye, so that we can actually get some metal (of which we currently have no access to.)

[Aseaheru]

 Thats eight tokens, whats the ninth going towards?

[coleslaw35]

We had more tokens than I realized.. interesting. This means we can design a helmet AND uniform in one turn, unless you think there's something better we could use the tokens for, Zultan?

*Use a token to build a sawmill in West Neu Salsburg. Use a token to rush construction. (2 Tokens)
*Reverse-engineer the 10 cm M. 14 Feldhaubitze and its HE ammo so that we can respond to their artillery with artillery of our own. (2 Tokens
*Reverse-engineer the Stielhandgranate. (1 Token)
*Design the helmet. (2 Tokens)

[Aseaheru]

 The blackband iron expands further than just Berek, thats just where the current production and processing is.

[coleslaw35]

The blackband iron expands further than just Berek, thats just where the current production and processing is.

So then whereabouts do the veins of blackband iron begin and end? Because the 2nd post on the core thread just says there are rich deposits near Selye.

[Aseaheru]

 Oh, the mountains around there probably have some. Capturing information from the last government, expeditions into areas, and potentially ritual or relic shenanigans may lead to more.
