I assume we want ro use Banelord's writeup for the medium lift.

I think we should atart using more latin in our names because its no secret that Kasgyr naming is boring. Latin sounds much fancier and more impressive than English.

Withhold the Garm?

Deploy it! (1): NAV

We should deploy it. It better for sea to shore than the saltseeker, it will help with the landing.

We can improve igloos by lining the interior with leather. Sacrifice some chicken leather coats and/or tents to make igloos that actually keep the sick warm.

Food:
(1) All boats and raft dedicated to fishing: NAV
(1) Send another seal/penguin hunting expedition: NAV
(1) Half rations until we have enough food: NAV

Shelter:
(1) Keep building igloos until everyone can lay down comfortably: NAV
(1) Line a few igloos with leather to keep the sick warm, sacrifice chicken coats and some tents: NAV

Injured:
(1) Amputate and hope for the best: NAV

Using Death Balls to clear paths in minefields might actually work.

The "Flails of Doom!" is a specialized vehicle for clearing minefields. It consists of a t-33 medium tank with the turret removed and a large spinning drum covered in flails at the front. The flails spin rapidly and detonate any mines in the tank's path, whether anti-tank or anti-personnel, before they are close enough to do any damage. This way it can drive forward slowly and clear safe paths through minefields.

The "Flails of Doom!" was originally designed by a Moskurg engineer as a brutal close quarters weapon for tanks, completely flaying the flesh and pulverizing the bones of anyone stupid enough to get in its way. It was promptly rejected and ridiculed for being just as impractical as the Death-Ball, until another engineer realized that it could be used to completely trivialize enemy minefields. It will still serve the original purpose if anyone's stupid enough to get in its way.

The spinning drum has about 50 flails on it, it's held about 2 meters in front of the tank and powered by the tank's engine. The turret is removed, and the gunner replaced with a flail operator.

A few minor but important features: It has a pair of tall lit masts so mine clearers can operate in formation even when in the middle of a large dust cloud. They also feature an automated flag dispenser at the back to mark the safe path, and improved engine and crew air filters to deal with the large dust clouds created.

Bringing up this again since:

Both sides make actually quite a lot of use of landmines, for how little they're spoken of. Forenia has the button-activated LM20 and M34 Viper, for infantry and vehicles respectively, the Viper is intended to do both by being modular (stack two or three for a larger explosion) but they don't get used singly since the LM20 is a bit lighter for the same amount of explosives anyway. Cannala has the rather more advanced Bouncer landmine, which goes off a short time after being triggered and explodes in mid-air, and the shaped-charge Surprise landmine for vehicles. Cannala definitely has the better landmines.

Advancing on plains island is high priority this turn. Mine clearing is very helpful for advancing in plains.
