Dunno about SAMs since those are defensive and thus not readily able to be used in a way that lets you see combat details. But all the rest are definitely mechanized for the purpose of postures. I'd assume SAMs are too since all the other things are, but it's just as possible they aren't affected by postures since they don't participate in ground combat.

Speaking of sams, I don't predict my airforce having a good time any time soon. Esp. with these model rolls of mine (50 on weapon design, ugh).

Well, I'm not exactly thinking that those two fresh infantry corps are gonna do me any favors, especially with all the other combined-arms OOB units you raised to support them. Seeing 150k standard infantry alone under arms is ugly, NGL.

I do salute your embrace of more civilized customs by organizing an Audit Support Brigade in the Olfario Ruins zone, though.

[Also, just to be clear: what happened to the Cephaloids in Apelar this turn is a tit-for-tat response for your sneaky-cheeky coastal incursion into the Tobaro reservation.]

Aww. You've noticed.

Wait, do you see a formation with your naming scheme somewhere?
AFAIK the only two formations of mine that remained borked by the naming shenanigans are ind. motorised infantry and ind. mot. MG - of which I have none. I went through the entire OOB just now, and I don't see anything off there.

I'm seeing the subunits of the 2nd MG Infantry Brigade (down by the Three Nations Memorial Mountainpeak) all named 21st-25th Audit Support Battalion.

Oh. You're right. How odd.


What's this horrible gerrymandering the bureaucrats have engaged in now?

Oh, look. Atomics. NGL, looks bad.

I gotta say, this naming convention really confuses me. THIS is a Diet Burgher?



Not a Loaded Burgher? Deluxe, Supreme? Not even a Heavy Burgher?

We never shall understand the private sector...

Uh oh.

Also new patch. Nothing that should affect things, though there are fixes from bugs reported by two players in this game included.

Well, the "Major AIs not selling enough" should drive down trader prices and demand even further down than it already is. Also, I'm very happy to see the bug I reported getting fixed, although it may have come right after my 2SHQ finally got its logistics network to a point where it's no longer a severe problem.

[As a Usaian, gonna have limited screentime for the next three days due to holidays, so heads-up on that, especially given how long turns are taking.]

Meh. Haven't had money problems since full meritocracy+commerce bonuses kicked in. Same with food, for that matter - I'm still relying on my single initial farm. Maybe there'll be more than a 100 metal available on the market now, though.

Anyhow, I'm going to joyfully await the atomic missiles now. And the thopters. I'm sure my glorified biplanes will perform as expected.

[Ugh, gave in and loaded up the save to see how bad the first turn of war was before going AFK. Had the game lock up on me when opening the stratagem interface. If that doesn't resolve itself when I have time to mess with things properly, there may be a longer delay than anticipated. I'll know tonight or tomorrow...]

Consider rolling back the update, if possible. The patch included some fixes to the stratagem-related slowdowns, so that might be the source of the crash.
