Legend:
- Green: project completed
- Yellow: progress made but not yet complete
- Red: no progress made

EDIT: Omake bonuses are a thing as per the below quote, so if they apply then that's an additional success for Expatriate Outreach (13 to 23 vs. DC 15) and Refugee Management (15 to 25 vs. DC 25).

Omakes are worth +10 bonuses on rolls! Canon or non-canon makes no difference. One bonus per roll. I will automatically expend bonuses on any roll that is set to fail, whether or not that would make up the difference. I'll tally up the omakes later.

    Now we begin the extended process of finding out how many times I miscounted the number of rolls required because it's been months and I forgot that I promised somebody on Discord to auto-pass the thirteenth AP or some shit. :rofl: Writing!

    • WE ARE RETURNED! Good rolls around, shame about the retraining campaigns though.

    I would recommend looking at a topography map of the area. This is an easy mistake to make, since many maps only bother depicting mountain ranges and not hilly territory. The northern part of Pensylvenia is full of hills, naturally defensible terrain that slows offensives down. We are talking about the northern outstretches of the Appalachians here. There are good hill positions along the Erie-Pitsburgh axis, and the Canton-Lake axis before Cleveland. No need to throw the towel so early, a defense in front of Cleveland is perfectly viable.

    Yeah. I've driven through northwestern Pennsylvania a number of times and I'd hate to fight a war through it if I was in a hurry.

    True. What about smaller infiltration parties coming in by raft or speedboat? Ukraine did a raid with those once.

    I just want to make sure we aren't missing anything before we're 100% sure they won't use the lake.

    To clarify, I never meant to say, and don't think I did say, that "nothing will happen on the lake in the next war."

    What I mean is that nothing large will be able to move safely enough on the lake for large scale operations to involve ships acting on the lake itself. At least not until one side or the other has already pretty much completely won and is just flexing.

    Also very glad to see that we actually got good rolls out of the foreign arms dice, that would have been a disaster to miss out on twice in a row
     
    I'm now imagining shooter game set pieces set in the Niagara falls, which sounds kind of awesome.

    Slowly the America that was promised begins to take form.
    Unfortunately with the return of America comes the return of the American education system.

    Oh, the schooling system prep is going well. It's the equivalent of trade school that's going horribly. Honestly, it could have gone far worse. It's a failure in a department with only a very short to-do list until it dissolves, we can compensate for it.
