Cold Season, 1921, D&R Phase
But first, ABC Shenanagans
The East Neu Salsburg workshops where worked on being expanded this turn, and a new steel foundry was started construction on in Sellye to take advantage of its iron and coal. The workshop expansion went well, getting two lines constructed before the season was over(they will produce goods this turn if wished), as was the steel foundry, for that matter.
The foundry, stated by some of the engineers to be world-class(if the world still exists, and if things remain the same anyhow), has its own problems, partially due to its successes. Part of the preprocessing of the steel requires some amount of electricity, and the sheer scale of possible production places strain on existing technology to shift material about. And then there is the issue of Flux.
While our isle has large deposits of flux stone, production is almost entirely limited to the northern swamps. The steelmill can still produce, but it would be better if it had access to fresh dolomite.
End of ABC Shenanagans
Starting off with the lower end of work, we have four revisions or reverse engineering.
First off, the CSRG 1921* program, aiming to reduce jamming, shifiting the forward grip to a better position, and seeing about replacing the magazine. Well, the work has gone well, with fit and finish improving, the cost increasing as a result, and somehow more bugs being worked in. Most of these appear to be due to the magazine changes, going from the slightly bulky detachable rotary magazine to various designs of box magazines, which are invaribally too long, too fragile, hold too few rounds, or some combanation thereof, our engineers having not figured out how to do anything past a single-stack box magazine. The best example is now side-mounted, and holds 15 rounds while only failing to work when breathed on half the time. That said, jamming has been reduced, and the few remaining problems with debris have been knocked on the head.
Next, the reverse engineering of things.
The M15 Stielhandgranate has long been recognized as a savage force multiplier in the assault. Our copy thereof is of fairly decent quality and is produced cheaply in bulk. Final blueprints are able to be handed out to factories imminently.
The M.14 Feldhaubitze is... of dubious quality. Fit and finish are nonexistent, and parts breakage is higher as a result. But the gun(now the M.14/21FH) is, atleast, significantly cheaper to produce. The blueprints are ready to be delivered to the workshops now.
After an abortive start on recreating the blueprints for the 100x183mmR HE warhead, efforts instead went over to improving the 6.5x54mmP round, particually in improving its mass-production with the aim of thus improving its accuricy. This effort went quite well, the bugs in the process being worked out, the quality able to be made increasing, the revised prints in the workshops, and no new bugs for the squashing.
The
PA-SLR-M.21 is the first self-loading rifle seen on these islands and is being designed by the Providence Arsenal. Chambering 6.5x54mmP, this gas-operated long-piston rotary-bolt weapon is about half-way to being completed. That is not to say there arent a few issues.
The weapon is expensive. Allready it looks like we could make almost two CSRGs for one SLR. The box magazine proved impossible, instead the team fell back on a choice of Mannlicher clips or fitting the gun to use a CSRG M.21 rotary magazine. Finally, on the subject of the scope mounting bracket, our engineers where unable to design a manner inwhich it could be on the centerline without fouling the irons, so have proposed two methods: Having a sight rail on the side of the gun, or having the sight be affixed offset to the centerline of the gun.
The PA-SIK-M.21 is our standard infantry kit, including waxed woolen cloak, woolen coat, woolen mittens with both a thumb and a finger separate from the rest of the hand and leather fingers and palm, a waxed canvas half-tent that can be used as a hammock, a simple canvas
haversack, a similarly constructed backpack with the ability to have a wooden frame fitted, a spade, a metal(although cloth-covered) canteen, a simple mess tin of stamped metal, an olive-green battledress(composed of tunic, trousers, belt, and messcap) and some rope. All items are of exceptional quality, while production time is slated to be minimal for each item.
And then the issues begin to occur. The dye chosen for the pieces is not in the slightest olive green, runs if one glances at it, and apparently makes the items highly flammable. The leather for the belt, mitten palms, and backpack has numerous issues with durability(linked to the tanning), and the canteen and messtin just... Arent good. The canteen holds less water than the haversack, while the messtin bends if one swears within a mile and shines like the sun tooboot. Speaking of tooboot, there arent any.
