Armchair Generals (OOC)

[macrorufus]

In this OOC channel I will answer questions.

Rumor Mill: The Ixians have been discussing their new 'Stutter-gun' project. Currently there is no further information, but High Command of United Free thinks that this is a form of auto-mechanized weapon that is lighter than the Maxim gun.

[macrorufus]

Tech: An Ixian Stutter gun has been successfully captured. High Command is pleased to note that they weapon can be used to replace maxim guns for both infantry defense and towed haukadons.

Fact: Both Ixia and United Free are rushing to develop an even lighter version of the Stutter-gun. Both sides having realised the use of a smaller, and more easily operated weapon.

Rumor: Ixia has been discussing something called the 'Synchronized Stutter Gun.'

[macrorufus]

Current Situation:
Left: Weak, holding.
Centre: Strong, gaining.
Right: Weak, combat ineffective.

High command offers one of the following for each arm to replace an existing unit:

Air: Early-recon MG (wing mounted stutter guns, controlled by wire pull. Ineffective and dodgy) or Early-recon B (2lb bombs... capacity nothing compared to current zeppelins.) or Zeppelin flight.

Infantry: Stutter-gun team, Engineer, Grenadiers

Cavalry: Towed Stutter-guns, Heavy Calvary, Dragoons

Artillery: 7inch Field Guns (Shrapnel), 6inch Howitzers, Dual linked 1bler Autocannon

You may also post your new defense and attack orders.

If I'm understanding this right, we'll take the towed stutter-guns to replace our mounted maxim ones.

Seems kind of backwards if the stutters are supposed to be lighter. Also I'll take the flight recons with the forward facing guns Ahead of the curve baby!

Hah, that's true, but who am I to question our gracious RP overlord? (An RP overlord who is smart and handsome and susceptible to flattery in exchange for more troops and better technology, I hasten to add)

Well, he could give us all clubs and tell us to charge a flak tower German DOOM fortress.... Also it appears my MSN has disconnected me for awhile Slice

Most recently, Halconian scouts have spotted two trainloads for the centre front that appear to be entirely made of very large metal supply crates. United Free spies have also delivered the following which seems to corroborate. Clearly Ixia's got something new planned.

[SliceOfDog]

Woo! Tanks! Also, woo! Centre victory! 8D
