Turn 20:
- Design for the "Heavy Wheeler" APC have finished. Structural Design is okay (98), but effective design is lacking.
- but the design guys had a idea for a "medium" tank, wich should be rather interesting
- we sold a large amount of Rare Metals and Metals, to finance furthre retiring attempts aimed Berty Ashdown. And he actually accepted a 500 Credits retirement plan
- The Interior Council under Damian Andordark managed to raise the Sales tax to 25%
- We found anotehr Ancient Archive. And this one contained the details on how to make Combat Armor. Once the design council is finished with their current Tank task, upgrading our Military Kits with it will be very high on their list of responsibilities.
- two new Junior Leaders have been hired:
Cliff Starwalker (III/27/30/30), bringing some combat skills
Banshee Hamilmate (III/33/43/43, bringing relevant Intimidation and Interrogation skills
- The idea of relieving Damian Andordark for Cliff Starwalker was in the room. But it would not be much of a improovement at this time (same int., no skill +2 Capacity, but even worse in Authority)
- in Starknitz, the just finished BP Offices are already being upgraded. Work on the command bunker still continues.
- we are pushing the raiders further west, taking as much Friedsekt land as possible along the way. If our movement continues into that direction, we will propably need a road across the mountains to keep our units in supply.
Turn 21:
- Elections have been held. The PU is still the leader at 57% of the votes, with the MRK being at 43%.
- Curiosity is a virtue. Our commitment to solving issues by thinking is starting to pay off, helping is convert captured populations to our culture a lot quicker
- The question wich kind of soldiers we should promoto to NCO posts has come up. Some Favor Skill and some Favor Zeal at the exclusion of the other. But we need both in our NCO's (Autocracy, Meritocracy or neuteral choice - picked Neutral)
- The Secretary was invited to a play, took offense at how the President was depicted and ordered the play terminated. That caused some minor Unrest. But again, not nearly enough to care about it.
- our workers in Starknitz are being harased. We could send in our Troops, but that seems to autocratic. We could also try to talk them down, but it is not in our nature to inhibit freedom of speech like that. To dismay of our workers, we could simply do nothing
- work has begun on a Farming Dome in Starknitz. Our workers had to use their salaries to buy food, as apparently transporting from Halfmark is going to slowly.
Turn 22:
- the set goal of improove our Beureaucracy was easily smashed
- our society has eveoled some sort of a "Technology Fascination".
- the Anima Priests requested our blessing for a larger Gathering. We hapily gave it to them
- the workers in Starknitz are striking. However we eaily have the credits to adress their pressing issues
- Damaris Wallcrest - Governor of Rockville - requested permision to have a personal guard. This is not acceptable. Private armies are the bane of Democracies!
- it is high time to form a new council. The Staff council could help us by developing new orders of battle and postures. And with Banshee Hamilmate, we have a good candidate for it.
- Wumrsekt requested the release of yet another spy. We accepted their exchange good
- a Large marrauder groupp of a bout 2.4k armed people has been defeated. Again, no casualties.
Turn 23:
- Our Open Politics allow a lot more voter influence, wich makes them quite happy to life with us
- Hugo Lewis requested to degrade workers on one of his estates to a quasi-slave status. This is of course not even worth thinking about!
- we found a even better Candidate for the Staff Council, someone from our military forces: Dawn Xonium (II/20/27/26), comming with Leadership and High Command Skills. However it did take some Wrangling to get her even considered for the post!
- after Bad Rations had been send to the Troops, the President had a massive outburst causing quite a bit of fear to grip the people of Halfmark (played 2 Paranoia and 1 Bad Ration card; 47 Fear)
- Another ancient archive, this one contained all we need to know to make Anti-Armor High Velocity Guns
-Aron Jurawalker managed - against considerable resistances - to talk Friedsekt Government into openiung a permanent line of Communication
- a scientific outpost and a security zone have been created in the hinterlands of Halfmark
Turn 24:
- the PU feels we did not do quite enough to strenghten our Democracy. But there was just not more that we could have done!
- our ammo as actually getting a bit low. The order for 1000 Units of ammunition - primarily bullets - has been given and executed
- for hte first time in forever, we had significant casualties when fighting the raiders. About 100 Soldiers died
- a whole town of Free Folk is showing interest to join us, if we can just protect them. Luckuly they are very close to our troops and the expanding road network, so it should not be a problem at all!
- another demagogue in Starknitz and no way to stop him, that still follows our priciples.
- another worker Strike, this time in Rockville. It is easy enough to fullfill their demands
- for the first time in forever, there is a slight issue with energy production in Halfmark. It is time to build some solar power plants to fix the issue.
- the inerior council organized some Wargames and a Cabinet Retreat- Damian Andordark however failed at organizing both. We would really like to find someone to take over this job, but this far he can not find anyone.
Turn 25:
- Our scouts found some Automated MG turrets from the Galactic Republic era. Now we just need to find a way to move them somepalce more usefull
- the last forces of the former Starknitz Hansa have been defeated. They did put up quite a fight in the end - kill 200 soldiers and a Animal Prise - but stood no chance after all. This chapter is now finally finished!
- there has been a Indicent with Quirine Cllihands, commander of the 2nd Brigade. She took offense at youth spending time in a bookclub, had it disolved and the members drafted. We reversed here decision and Disciplined her
- a new Faction has been gaining traction. Damaris Wallcrest (Governor Rockville) had formed the "Sacred Cricle" and now demanded we hire a member of that Group. The person in question is Gemma Nobisun (II/24/34/22), someone from the Artillery or MG Groups of the military.
- Logan Noonan has been releived as Presedential Secretary. Unfortunately he is resisting attempts to get him into retirement.
Turn 26:
- The Sacred Circle Demanded that we incrase the morale of our Soldiers. This should be a easy enough task and was accepted
- someone in Wurmsekt is offering to increase relations - at a inrecibly high cost of 1500 Credits. It was rejected
- our industry is quite a bit behind the curve. So construction for new factories has begun in Starknitz and Halfmark
- Even the stimulus in Rockville is not getting anywhere. So teh zone has been excepted from Taxes, in hopes of finally getting that Food production going!
- A Referendum was held in Rockville, to evaluate how Damaris Wallcrest is doing. She lost teh referendum and was removed from the post
Turn 27:
- FInally, the work on hte Medium Tank has finsihed. It is a very slow moving thing. However that does finally free them up to work the new combat Armor into our infantry
- A new Governor for Rockville is needed. We found that leader in our Civilian Sector: "Agnes Cryorock" (III/32/25/29) has extensive experience in Adminsitration and Social Skills
- a group of radical young talents requested that we decrease employee slalaries to fund their project. It seems like the Economically viable thing to do!
- the PU demands that we increase our tech level. It does seem like getting a Economci council is years overdue, so we agreed to it
- we called up our new Secretary - Banshee Hamilmate - to form a Economic council. It is quite politcally taxing to push such a project, but it should be worth it
Turn 28:
- Once they were moved to our cities, in supply and resting our Soldiers morale quickly went up
- the new Kit for our Soldiers is now ready. While the goal was primarily to implement the new armor, the gathered field experience with teh gear allowed the design to improove teh weaponry drastically (79 to 108 Weapons design). Next goal is trying to same with the MG units
- the time to select the leader for teh Economic council came up. Damaris Wallcrest seems to be the most suited leader right now. We hired a new Civilian to shuffle the Sugestions a bit. But Meg Menkib (III/32/38/28) did not proove to be much more suited. So, Damaris it is.
- the primary goal of the Economci council is to find new economic technology. However, any resources they may find underground would be very helpfull as well
- a Agitator in Starknitz is getting our Workers to walk out on their jobs. An extra payment easily fixed that up!
- Starknitz has reached the point where it can be fully integrated. It is now a fully incoporated Zone, that has to do it's share for the Military and Colonisation efforts.
- Starknitz was furthermore upgraded to a Big City
- It is high time we dealt with Friedsekt. For too long have we been sandwithced between to major Regimes. If we have their lands and population, not even Wumrsekt would be able to challenge us anymore. For that purpose 4 Spies have been send into their territory and the both Brigades are deploying along the border!
Turn 29:
- the new MG units have been finished. While the weapon improovements are not nearly as radical, it is a improovement none the less. Work on Antitank Guns have begun, as we expect to see at least some enemy armored vehicles.
- the Sacred Circle demanded another improovement of the Bureaucratic Infrastructure. But we have no time for that right now!
- by selling a lot of rare metals to the traders, we managed to easily get enough credits to resole a protest in Starknitz by using money
- work on hte Factorie has been set to a way lower priority, to free up metals to upgrade our troops.
- finding a rare metal deposit in Tevufield - Halfdmarks public Farming Domes - prompted the building of a rare metal mine. It is one thing to have some scavenging posts. It is anotehr thing altogether to have a proper mine
- A prospecting Push found a 3rd Rare Metal Deposit (the 1st being known to us since we started our expansion)
- we finally got Logan Noonan to retire
- Damian Andordark failed yet again at holding wargames for our OHQ commanders
Turn 30:
- we fullfileld out promise to hold the Free Folk town
- the workers council within the Interior Council held a vote. They request shorter worktime to increase their productivity
- Damian Andordark finally managed to find a set of suiteable replacements for his post in the Interior council: 2 Juniors and 1 Senior Leader ahve been added to our pool and he is returned to the reserve pool
