Vote tally - Victoria Falls: A Post-Collapse American Nation Quest [Down With Victoria!]

[X] Negotiate. You don't want to put FCNY out, but you can't just ban a major arms manufacturer sight unseen. You have to arm up, too. Pick any of the following you like:
-[X] Offer to restrict any purchases from USA to hardware FCNY deems to be non-critical to their immediate deterrence needs. This could complicate your procurement strategy and would affect your bargaining power going into these critical negotiations, but would offer FCNY a guarantee that you simply will not impinge on the supplies they most need.
-
-
[X] Yes. You aren't happy about cutting a major supplier of American-descended hardware -- reportedly one of the major suppliers of that hardware -- out of your market, but FCNY has convinced you that their need is truly dire. And, while they're not making threats yet, you don't especially want to test the goodwill of one of the other major nerve centers of the Revivalist movement, not while preparing for a massive war with Victoria.

[X] Negotiate. You don't want to put FCNY out, but you can't just ban a major arms manufacturer sight unseen. You have to arm up, too. Pick any of the following you like:
-[X] Offer to jointly approach USA.PLC with an agreement that FCNY will have a specific, majority proportion of any available deliveries for the first few years, with the balance shifting to you as time goes on. Requires that you each will need to purchase elsewhere to complete your armament plans, as there is not enough USA.PLC for the both of you.

[X] Negotiate. You don't want to put FCNY out, but you can't just ban a major arms manufacturer sight unseen. You have to arm up, too. Pick any of the following you like:
-[X] Allow FCNY to attend the CDE as a buyer so that they can speak to other companies that are there to compete for a full-force procurement contract and will want somebody to buy their things if they can't make the sale with you. This will not be as fast as the arrangement FCNY already had, however, and it will mean that you have competition for contracts instead of being the sole buyer.

[X] Refuse outright. You will not handicap your procurement efforts like this.

-[X] Swear that you will not purchase arms if that would disrupt shipments to FCNY. This is a significant gesture of goodwill, but with the world so unsettled, ultimately these may not be terms that anybody can guarantee; if USA sees any more major demand spikes, they'll have to prioritize, and somebody will lose their order.
