What would you have preferred in that slot? I kind of put it in because I couldn't find a easy one turn action.
X-COM base game had the mission.

I'd prefer some sort of diplomatic or financial action personally since those are my two greatest concerns. For example, I wouldn't mind an investigate trading, trade or alliance action

Yeah, I was just glad my assault had the skill that let them shoot when an enemy moved in close, that helped so much every time I had to face those bloody chrysallids, more so once you get alloy shotguns.
As for unit design, a fighter with both missiles and lasers as fusion warhead should be one of the techs we grab soon. That way we get a fighter bomber with ground strike fusion warheads and a superiority fighter with fusion missiles to mess up enemy aircraft.
Plus we can add anti tank missile or two to each tank all using fusion warheads.

I actually proposed my own plan after revising it as soon as I saw the update. In fact I was kinda smug after glancing through the tabs and saw my plan almost immediately get votes before I had thoroughly ton through the chat from the last update to my vote change and saw that not only did hood's plan accomplish all my goals and fit the general aims of the chat but that it accomplished my goals better than my own plan and was less expensive and hyperfocused as to regress some of the general goals of the chat.
I, frankly, could not give less of a shit whether void, you, fezzes, or whoever proposed the plan. Aside from my own arrogance and pride I actually do take the time to look over plans before voting and as it has been said the only thing I don't think Void's plan does better than mine is the German oil trade and even that I fully understand and largely agree with the reasoning for and have hope that it will support and aid my slightly more desired African electronics trade.

Huh I never got it.
I did mine with a squad with split of cqc assaults and rocket/explosives heavies. Many many bugs died that day.

How about investigating Russia? It is slightly cheaper at the same pass rate and still one turn. Like I said infantry was only placed cause I couldn't think of anything.

I don't consider the Russian investigation to be worth it because I don't think the Japanese are losing the war and I doubt the economic benefits they could provide us. Also at this point changing your plan would to what I want would make it almost identical to Void's so it probably isn't even worth it...

Excellent
@Isaacssv558 Something I've been wondering, the northern countries in South America are still unaligned. Would it be possible to add them to our sphere? Would that upset Argentina? Or even be possible to do?

Fair enough maybe next turn then. Still Void's plan should get everything I really wanted anyways.

They have some idea of your techs, more if you've taken steps to implement them. For instance, they know you have fusion and are producing materials derived from Alien Alloy. They don't know how effective your AM are.
Im pretty sure its part of the enemy within dlc actually let me check. Yep it part of the dlc and drops after you first encounter with crysallids. Its inly guarenteed in your first playthrough though and gets added to the random pool of council missions afterwards.

Argentina is opposing any attempts by America to sphere them. America is opposing any attempts by Argentina to sphere them. As a result, they remain independent. If you expand your force projection capacity you will be able to break the diplomatic stalemate.

A or B is my preference with fusion warheads in our research options would rather have the missiles then the bombs in C.

time to get more airforce and the fusion weapons...that's going to be a monster, because with fusion + our excellent Munitions...that's going to be NASTY to fight.

Really like that gives us a real fighter. Just like our current fighters there is no load out that is always used we have different one for missions all the time. They are set up so it is a "quick" swap and launch the aircraft away.
We are trying to stay on their good side bullying them won't help us. We aren't going to let them Sphere those nations but we aren't going to roll up with a army and prove that their fears of us were in fact justified.
Once we get those fusion warheads we can swap out again. For now I think those load outs work just fine.

Not ally with us which is one of our main goals right now also they own a massive chunk of South America so the answer to that is a lot especially if they get so jumpy they start allying with other countries say ones that don't like us and may declare war on us at some point. Who would then through their alliance with Argentina have an easy place to land troops to fight a land battle against us rather then deal with our amazing air and naval force to land troops in mainland North America.

Long term we want to unit humanity to face both the ethereals and the reapers and Argentina has a better opinion of us then Germany so I don't want to jeopardize that. Instead working towards an alliance would be good.
