Autumn, 1895, Design Phase.While the situation outside of the west is quite unfortunate, the Worker's Army is capable of holding off the Magna forces for quite some time. They are planning on assisting with the invasion in the west and solidifying control there before focusing to relieve General Rutger Buyskes' forces on the central island which ideally will be renamed after our liberation of it. The army is used to being with low supply and overwhelming odds. It's how we earned our freedom and they'll damn well be able to do it again.
More importantly however (6, 6) the intelligence agents in Magna Mongadizafra report a major amount of activity in their largest drydocks, implying a lot of investment into potential future battleships. Estimated time until their completion is at least a year, and at least 6 battleships, possibly more. Further details however are unknown at this time, however hopefully this vital information is able to provide us with a much needed edge.
Due to the unions shifting more to war production, we have been allocated 4 additional PP of funding.
It is now the Design phase of Autumn, 1895. You have 6 dice remaining

Zeerover Speciale Kruiser: A modest high speed cruiser with a fairly sizable compliment of guns for dealing with any ships of equal size and armor along with anything smaller than it, and a few things above it. The submerged torpedo compliment also gives it a chance to punch well above it's weight, if it gets lucky. Fairly expensive though. Costs 5/2, 4 season construction time.
Compromise Class: An effective, slightly overweight shore defense ship with powerful guns and substantial, high quality armor. Quite fast for a ship of it's armor and armament, not far off from our cruisers. Costs 6/3, 5 season construction time.
A1-Klasse: A extremely fast Torpedo Boat Destroyer with a good compliment of guns and modest torpedo armament. The bridge is armored enough to be safe from splinters, barring a direct hit. It should be noted however the engine cannot run at full speed for much longer than a hour without running into issues. Costs 3/2, 3 season construction time.
