I do have 1 in barter plus, rich, poor and powerful all like me. I've got as good a shot as anyone. But if somebody else wants to handle supplies go for it I'll focus on personnel.

Makes no difference to me as long as we have materials for me to build guns and fuel transports.

The U.S is one of the biggest importers of oil in the world. They can't supply themselves let alone us so they'd charge us a lot.
We need a country that produces tones of oil itself and exports it. Its cost us less to buy from them then it would the U.S.

Or alternatively we just invade a few of Russia's. Or we hope we find an oil source in the ocean nearby to us to tap.

573
True. The U.S is rich as well in most of the raw materials we need. What about someone in the middle east? A nice oil rich friend to fuel our vehicles.

574
Hey somebody find out which resource rich nations are the most financially fucked. We can set up a good deal with them for materials at lower costs then the major powers.

575
If you wanna handle supply go for it. As long as we have the metals for weaponry I'm good it just frees me up to focus on getting engineers in and designing guns.

I'm thinking an AWS style MG. Little lower in punch but far better control while moving and less unwieldy. Great for making a highly mobile infantry force.
Plus still has high ROF, good range and 100 rounds as well as faster reload.

I can't invent the AWS but I can apply the principles behind it.

576
Stabby I recommend a trip to the UK. Royal Navy ruled the waves in quality so a bit of cash and some schmoozing should get some handy upgrades for our navy.

577
I don't. But including untapped we have 14000+ people spare so I wanna tap 2500. 2000 for a 4th regiment plus 500 for commandos.

Any fighting is going to come down to men with guns sooner or later so we need a good infantry force.

578
I'll head to Switzerland first and try to start up trade of materials and skilled personnel asap.

579
If you wanna handle that I'll focus on recruiting engineers to help creating and building new toys and maybe on trade deals for raw material.

580
Well I'd wait on the MGs. One of my first projects will be a new MG so I can probably whip up a dual version of it for you to double the firepower the MG emplacenents provide.

It and a solid SMG are my first projects.

581
If you get a chance can you try to make a stealth boat? Doesn't need to be big just something discreet for a half dozen or so armed men.

I'm gonna divide up the infantry mostly regulars with some small commando forces so a stealth boat will be handy. Numbers ain't an option for us so we need quality.

582
I've got rich, poor and powerful for diplomacy so long as they ain't Latino or Asian.

And 3 in infantry so I'll focus all my efforts on recruiting new people to our country both common and important and on building up and upgrading the army.
Got 2 in ballistics as well so if somebody can make a good new alloy for guns I can get some infantry guns out.

583
Finished playing with my stats.

So, how are we going to divide up our duties?

584
Ahhh ok. Well my first order of business is to bribe Africans to move here and join my army.

But yeah which skill covers the ability to command soldiers?

585
Oh, our population. Is 5000 not a little small? That's about 1500 men of military age in total.
