Well, it would be really nice if they ended up exposing at least some of their cavalry. It'd be the part of the Nornish army most able to respond to our rear assault. If we can reduce some of those cavalry units down, that makes it much easier for our rear assault to focus on doing things like...

[X] Plan Stalling With Elves Yeah, I'm for this. Though a part of me is worried that starting set up on the opposite side of the bank will lead to Norn deciding not to make a push across, but we've got options there of smacking them with our heavier artillery park until they either push across...

Hmm, I was hoping to do the IFV alongside the new tank once we have EM weapons for a combined mechanized force built from the ground-up to work together, plus making sure the new IFV is compatible with the missiles. But it is true that IFVs have been waiting for quite a while...

Well, our Halflings have lived their lives in the marshy lands of La Ravaille, so I think they'll be fine. And yeah, I think we need a decisive blow landed to actually hold Daurstein. As it stands we have two columns bearing down on us with another staring off against the VI Army. We could...

I'm definitely supportive to saving our Masterful Deployment since I think the strategic concerns mean we need a decisive victory against this the 1st Column that renders it combat-ineffective, so we can quickly move to take out the 2nd. But are we sure our cavalry is up for the task? The...

Right, I think I'll do next-gen Ocean Combatant then, since the Navy is still a bit salty. Am open to strong arguments for something else though. I think it's still premature to do the Orbital Ring now. Stage 1 doesn't provide us with much and Stage 2 requires the big nanotube station to get...

Better to have the option than not, and our current Coordinator has a very good working relationship with the Council and is likely to die soon anyway, so might as well have her make the offer. If it succeeds, we've got authorization. If it fails, then the egg can fall on Fumiko's face instead...

Hmm, I feel like we probably don't want any secondary weapons on this Monitor beyond maybe laser PD. We don't really have the knowhow to make a proper battlewagon. This is going to be a very specialized ship built around being a platform for the biggest and longest range gun we can mount...

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

Actually, come to think of it, @Photomajig what sort of terrain is a ford going to be? Is it going to use something like Wetland (maybe minus the boost to concealment), or some new terrain type?

Hmm, some more interesting things on Nornish military naming traditions. -The "Legion" designation is interesting. It seems that Legions are specifically the high-quality units, primarily Dwarven and usually named after a city. And judging from the POV of one of the Dwarven Legion commanders...

So, how will this So, how will this work exactly? I get that we will get to deploy our army first and rather than them getting a deployment of their own they'll have to enter the map as a column, but how exactly does that function? Is it that we get our deployment turn, then we get to move...

I'm surprised that it's specifically the 60th that's back TBH, considering that they lost their guns. Then again, maybe that's why they're in the Army of Vechia now rather than the Army of the Center. The Army of Vechia actually had spare field artillery while von Trotha couldn't afford the...
