M4 'Brumby' LMG
Using the lessons learnt from updating the Stallion, start designing an LMG designed to be carried and operated by a single person to compliment the Stallion. Box-fed and air-cooled with a bipod installed to stabilise the gun when firing from cover.

+1 Though amend the name to M2 to reflect its position as the child idea of the glorious M1 Stallion

Hey Mosburg guys, let me clue you in on something: a .60 cal shell is 15.24mm, or about only 5mm smaller than your standard autocannon round. Basically, anything over a .50 is better considered an autocannon caliber, and you could argue even a .50(which is 12.7mm or so) could be considered autocannon sized if you stretch the definition. Basically, you guys designed an overengineered, oversized kludge of a weapon and we thank you for it, since you'll never field it in large amounts

Actually, every Moskurger is armed with a .60 cal Horsekiller rifle.

...And even so, our machine gun can kill vehicles, and yours is a wimpy man's toy gun once the armor shows up.

If you can even survive that long. We're winning in the Jungle and the Mountains, your offensive on the Plains will be stalled due to the increased costs of machine guns and artillery, and the only thing preventing us from making gains in the Plains is something that can be solved with a quick Revision.

You know you're being rather cocky when pretty much the entirety of human history is riddled with great wars that ended in comebacks. The Second Punic War, the Sengoku Jidai period, Napoleon's creation of the French Empire and subsequent fall after standing through two coalition wars, World War 1, World War 2, etc.

Not trying to be hateful I'm just saying don't assume you're ever going to win, and then only accept victory after your standing in the ashes of whatever used to makeup their country.

EDIT:
Also -

... (just ask the Germans about how their heavy tank program went )

Their heavy tank program actually went extremely well, the reason it failed in the end was because they were already losing the war, and even with that they still made some very impressive achievements. In fact the King Tiger (also called the Tiger 2) has some extremely impressive combat records for instance the Tiger IIs of the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion managed to kill something like 130 Soviet tanks, and several hundred AT guns during the period it was deployed in the Hungarian theater. Essentially the Tiger IIs dominated tank warfare for years during WW2, and to even have a decent chance of guaranteeing a kill Allied or Russian forces had to ambush or swarm them in enough numbers to get a few around behind to the weaker armor.

For our revision we should revise our swords to have a single .30 caliber round place in a barrel at the hilt with a trigger at the side. Simply point forward, and pull the trigger to fire the sword gun.


Anyway more seriously I suggest we revise our uniform a bit by sew some metal plates into the Moskurg Uniform to help protect our men.

If not that we should probably revise the six shooter we have by creating some quickloaders for it, and improving the overall quality of the cylinder. Or something to that effect.

M23 really should have said "Miyamoto" instead of blaring out Steve's name.

For one Steve very likely was not called Steve by the UWM. Then, point number two is Steve probably wasn't called Steve because there are a lot of people named Steve, Steven, Stephen, or another variation of that.

((That wasn't for you, but for Ozarck. Assuming you are in separate boxes.))

((Fairly sure Steve couldn't be assed to grab multiple containers for us.))

Pushing against the blue-skinned goblin's mind you whisper directly into its mind,

"Power, and treasures I can give you, but the cost is the shedding of Human blood. Bring them to this graveyard, slay them on the gravestones, and you shall be rewarded."

As you withdraw somewhat the blue skinned goblin continues to look around, but suddenly yells out to his allies.

Blue-skinned Goblin: "We change plans, we raid filthy humanses village and bring the filthy humanses back to this place. We slay the humanses on their graveses, go now we must!"

With that the blue-skinned goblin picks up the pace, and the roughly forty goblins accompanying him start to run after him with their crude spears, and axes clutched tightly. They begin to chatter excitedly at their supposed leaders action, and you feel some satisfaction at the amount of success your words achieved. If the goblins succeeded the reward would not be a small one for you.

Without hesitation you pick up the book, and start reading through it with great enthusiasm. The introduction of the book starts out by explaining what exactly ritual, and summoning circles are along with their purpose. You quickly learn that both are not a single cohesive diagram, but are made up of the inner ring which is the magical function itself and at least one layer of what the book refers to as safeguards. The magical function determines what the circle itself does, and the quality or profoundness of it determines what kind of bonuses it will give to the magic user making use of it. Safeguards on the other hand are a type of protection helping to prevent the user from receiving damage from anything that might go wrong with the ritual itself.


Formido
Despite your feelings about the first entry you continue to read more of the book itself as it goes into the basics of Pyromancy. It explains how Pyromancers use their mana to control the essence of fire scattered around in the air, and then manipulate that fire essence to create anything from the most basic fireball to the most high class of explosion magics or familiar creation spells. Furthermore it says that while a Pyromancer's primary asset is the attacking power of Pyromancy they are also capable of some basic defensive spells, and can make use of fire essence to create Familiars to help safeguard themselves.

Sail
You pick up a second iron bar, and begin attempting to transmute it into a bar of steel. Two failures later you're staring at a bar of iron with a slightly annoyed expression.

Hoisk Thegan
You continue reading Falgrim's Guide, but get stuck on a word for fifteen minutes resulting in very minimal progress.

Jasper Dome
As you continue reading the book begins to go into a great deal of depth about contracts with the beings you summon, and the various impacts the type of demon or monstrosity has on those contracts. Essentially whenever you form a contract with a something you summon there is a price that you must pay for their services. Faceless Shadows for instance would require a mask to be given for their services, the greater the quality of the mask then the longer they would allow their services to be used. These prices must generally be paid either when a contract is first made, or upon your first time calling forth the contract.

You begin reading Mind and Matter as you toss the book on Magic Theory onto the pile of items. While a large portion of the early pages cover basics that you already know the book does go in depth on the fact that illusion magic's effects depend heavily on the person they're used on. Some beasts, people, or beings might be immune to Illusionry entirely while some others might have moderate resistance too it. All in all willpower, and intelligence seem to have a lot to do with the end results of Illusionry.
