Eastern Scaesia
Western Scaesia

The year is 1926. The world has recently recovered from the Great War, and many countries are seeing immense economic growth. Amidst the vapid consumerism, the country of Scaesia is in political turmoil. While both parties hold more or less the same political stances, one side is funded by the Republic of Fusciaya, while the other is funded by the Federation of Ryman. The point of contention is of course oil, which Scaesia is swimming in (not literally).
The mostly verbal arguments turned violent when the home of the President of Scaesia, where him and his cabinet were attending a Christmas celebration, was 'bombed'. Without a clear source of the explosion, both sides pointed the blame on the other, and within the week, had divided country. The party funded by RF took control of Eastern Scaesia and its swamplands and coniferous forests, while the party funded by FR held down Western Scaesia and its rolling hills and desert. Between the impassable mountains and the Cerulean Sea, the vast fields of goldenrod flowers are divided between the two sides by the river Yyrick, where the original capital sits.
A temporary armistice exists, but only for long enough so each side can assemble their forces.
Welcome to my first AR! You will be joining either Eastern Scaesia (backed by the Republic of Fusciaya) or Western Scaesia (backed by the Federation of Ryman). You are tasked with developing and revising your forces to defeat your opponent using an army inspired by all things dieselpunk! This will be pretty standard as far as Arms Races go, but there will be multiple events for both sides to take part in that will greatly aid you in the war.
To begin, there will be two prep turns during which you will have two designs and two revisions per phase available to you. These will help round out your 'core force' for the battles to come. You will also be in charge of forming the lore for your side, and establishing a new capital city.

Spoiler: Votes and Rolls (click to show/hide)

Design and Revision phases are pretty standard. During the pre-battle turns you can ask me how difficult each design or revision will be, but after that you are on your own!
Voting will be done via quoted votebox, and every player can vote for two seperate designs/revisions.
As for the rolls, I will run with a 3d3s. The results will generally fall into the following:
Utter Failure (3): Nothing is gained but the knowledge of how not to do it next time.
Buggy Mess (4): You made something, but it doesn't function the way you'd like it to.
Below Average (5): It works, but there is clear room for improvement.
Average (6): The design functions as intended.
Above Average (7): The design works, and something about it works out better than expected.
Masterpiece (: Your flawless creation's function is superior in every way.
Unexpected Boon (9): Development of this design goes so well that some sort of extra benefit is provided.
Similar to other ARs, the difficulty of your project will modify the roll value like so: Trivial (+2), Easy (+1), Normal (+0), Hard (-1), Very Hard (-2), Ludicrous (-3). Designs harder than Ludicrous are Impossible, and will never yield a successful product, but might provide experience with a successful roll.

Spoiler: Resources and Strategy (click to show/hide)

Unlike most ARs, there will be no resources, and no strategy phase (though there may be a pre-battle phase). Every item in your armory will have a cost designated to it, and that cost will determine how many you have on the battlefield. This cost is an amalgamation of not only how expensive the item is, but also how difficult they are to produce, how cumbersome, or large they are, and also how reliable they are.
Standard Issue: This is an exception to scale, and every soldier has this, unless you give them something else.
Cheap: Small or easy to mass produce. This will likely be your main weapons, upgraded armor, and some light vehicles.
Expensive: Either the size, the difficulty of producing it, or its reliability is limiting how many of these you can bring onto the field. These will be special equiptment, and the majority of vehicles.
Very Expensive: Multiple factors affect the rate you can bring these to the frontline, and thus not every battlefield will have one. These will be the fun stuff, or stuff that might have a few issues with reliability.
National Effort: Only a few things will have this designation, usually if it is completely buggy and I don't want you using it. You can only have one of each type, and it takes two turns to build it.
Unique: Reserved for event stuff that you can't build yourself.
