I would say naval (ship or submarine) helicopter, and tank as the army choices

Europe is once again a symbol of stability.
No wars waged, civil war erupted, or countries falling apart economically.

For naval would we pick ship twice or would we have to do 2 ship types

Actually, I am curious. What is the state of our naval fleet and what kind of ships do we have? What capabilities/technologies are present right now?
Depending on how out of date the ships are, we may need to invest considerable effort into remodernizing/replacing the navy and ideally we do it now rather than later. Naval construction and procurement is heavily lead time and investment dependent.

If I remember our navy is at the bottom of the ocaen and we have fishing fleets which is why I say submarines atleast

Ireland? If they had issues I am sure Great Britain would have said so. Its just some minor troubles.
Poland having issues. That's just propaganda, and when has turkey ever been considered a part of Europe
The Navy is practically like two people in a old wooden and leaking fishing boat.
If we make synths we have to absolutely seperate them from thinking they are part of the whole automation thing.

It's not propaganda the Soviet Union is currently ripping apart itself to possibly save itself and it's satellite states are going to feel that and get involved in the corruption purges and everything else.
I kind of find it funny how the healthcare can be described as 'merely on fire' which is a huge step up from just 2 turns ago.

Ah...
I hope we still have the institutional shipbuilding and design knowledge from before? Hopefully we won't have to import that.

I don't have a lot of strong feelings about what specific projects we pursue at the moment--though the medical situation is still our most pressing of issues, obviously. Looking at our Rep and Opinion, I think we could stand to work on raising our Reputation so we have the political capital to push big projects. Seems like doing some military investment would be an easy way to raise it. I'm not as worried about People's Opinion this turn, though if we get near/under 50 after this turn then next turn we'll want to buff that stat.

Hmm. Operation Urgent Fury. Historically an American victory, yet the ineptitude displayed by the U.S. military forced the DOD to undergo an overhaul.
Wonder if it goes worse here?

Would you believe Uncle Roger is not going to be born before we "win" based on time survival? So we can, uh, steal his bit wholesale without him being around to complain about it.

So, what's going on with Healthcare Reform? Was that it? It didn't spawn a followup megaproject like Educational Reform did?
Has the Chinese Civil War officially started? I had it down for for first half of 1983. I ask because our +5 to reactor design was apparently supposed to end once the civil war started? So it this is the last turn we get that +5 then that require a SIGNIFICANT change to the plan.
I see Mozambique is not asking for Military Aid in the information post? But the option for military aid is still there? Do they not feel military aid is as urgent?
There's a bunch of options that need to be rationalized or removed, Healthcare reform still shows up, same with OSHA.
Armed Solidarity actions seem to give more rep that Military Aid options in CyPac, are we supposed to be allowed to use Armed Solidarity actions to cover CyPac requirements and gain more rep that way?
--[] Expand Medical Imaging Plant (+3 Rep) (Bonus: +2 Electronics + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +5 Total)

Should be Medium Breakthroughs because Rainbow Road reduces breakthrough checkpoints by 2.
Preliminary Action Plan:
Arcades and consumer hardware (drills, screwdrivers, pliers, etc.) for those QOL improvements.
Durable goods libraries to multiply the effectivness of our consumer goods factories by allowing low frequency of use items to be shared among more people.
Two boats because we're an island nation, a helicopter (tiltrotor?) and IFV because those are going to be more immediately relevant to the sort of brushfire wars we're going to be doing on behalf of CyPac.
An IT factory because all our production RN is going towards Gen 1s for the Soviets, and we need Gen 2s for the China intervention.
A Counter-Intel sweep because we now have a LOT of eyes and effort turned out way and we should reinforce out counter0intel operations.
A Geothermal power-plant because we're about to make a lot of heavy industry in support of Dragon Rail and we're going to need the power.
Refugee integration to help with both China and the Thai stuff.
An action to get everythign ready for the CHina intervention - making sure we have all our beans, bullets, and bandages in the right places, that all our allies know the IFF codes and the communication protocols, everyone's on the same page, etc.
Military Aid is wrapping up the last of our military promises to CyPac.
HC, give me Rep values for these.
I demand we get the 90s. The 90s is when we can actually do a Mars mission.

Really shouldn't put this off anymore.
As tempting as it would be to plant some seeds in Ireland, South Africa, and/or South America, we should really put our attention to those who are already in the Cy Pact. Preferably the ones who need military aid or bailouts.

Borked C&P on my end, fixed.
Yes, though the nuclear bonus still applies for this turn. A couple of bad rolls saw things happen a year early.CyberFemme said:
They do not, but it would be appreciated.CyberFemme said:

Herocooky,what would be the cost of an action like that ?
-[] Social Espionage in Japan: the disappearance of the 135,000 citizens of guangchou at the hand of the japan during the war has always been like a wound in the mind of the country unable to mourn without certainty of their fate since the japan refuse to say anithing about them, it being worsened by suspicion when the involvement of unit 735 when at their end, it's time to try to put an end to this, find out exactly what happened to them and according to the result, grieve, file a complaint for a crime of war / against the humanity on the Japanese and if you are very lucky bring home any survivors.

Might be time to use the +10 and the +4 bonus when making a sub and ship respectively. Hit the ground running with our new navy.

-7 Rep for all the costs involved, takes 2 turns (still one Action), and may not yield anything.
