Welcome, commander, to Side Y. However, if we are to wrest control over the resources of the world, we must first decide who we are. Your first task is to come up with a name for our great nation, as well as what form of Government we Pledge Ourselves to. Are We:
A Liberal Democracy, pledged to spread freedom, capitalism, and ordinance throughout the world?
A Nation ran by Corporate interests, searching for a monopoly on natural and manufactured resources?
A Technocracy led by the best and brightest of our academics?
A Despotism swearing fealty to an authoritarian Dictator?
A Theocracy, Because I didn't think of that
or A Communist State led by Union Leadership?

It is the year 2070, Long had the world been conflict-less, the two great nations of the world have long since been at peace, as an ancient treaty at the advent of nuclear weapons prevented any hot war between major power. This peace, proclaimed to be everlasting, is at the verge of ending as both powers realize that their deepest fears are coming true: The Oil Wells that kept the fuel industry and international commerce of both nations afloat, were going to run out within ten years. Nobody is quite sure who fired the first shot, but every nation-state in the world is sure: The Resource Wars have begun.

Welcome to The Resource Wars! I haven't run a game in here in forever, and I have a huge chunk of free time on my hands, so I figured i would run one with a twist: The battles, production, and to some extent Design will be simulated using the program MegaMek! The rules for this game are as follows:
Resources and Manufacturing:
Buildings:
Commanders:

Turn order goes like this:
Design Phase: design new equipment for your military to use; anyone in the team can submit a design proposal and the team votes on one (or more, in special circumstances) proposal for their team to work on that round. In the following Design Results, based on a dice roll & difficulty of the design based on your technology level/experience, you get to see what your engineers came up with based on the proposal.
 Revision Phase: works similar to the design phase, but on a much smaller scale -- use revisions to change things about existing designs or make new designs/variants with a few changes/whatnot.
Manufacture Phase: Construct new buildings, Manufacture
Battle Phase: Deploy the manufactured units on the battlefield, assign commanders, give orders, that kinda thing. Bear in mine that the AI will control both sides in an actual battle, and these will behave according to the Commander picked for these sides.
The Internal Affairs Phase can exist though won't always appear, and simply exposits ongoing affairs and events within your side or anything else that may be relevant. Plot/lore/fluff stuff. If there's any player interaction in one of these phases, then it'll be detailed at the time.
The Battle Report is always posted in the core thread (this thread), and is universal to both sides. The rest of the phases/reports start/end at the same time but each side gets their own post about it in their own thread.

I have some ideas if you’d let me help a little bit. I wanna get back in the modding saddle
