Nothing changed at sea from our end, while the new uniforms would definitely help in the mountains, they'd help more or less anywhere, and our motorbikes are obviously not going to work. Therefore:

Battle Report 13, 1902
This year is another continuation of our great successes, our greatest addition being the Yavakh Motorcycle, a fast and highly advanced motorcycle that is faster then any other motorcycle made by the world, and it even can use a side car! We also made an update to our very outdated uniforms and thus the Daldlakh Infantry Uniform was created, it offers not only concealment but better protection from artillery, shrapnel, and snipers, especially in the case of our officers and our own snipers.

The Nafunan's meanwhile, made a true horror of an abomination called the Kadesh Armored Mechanical Chariot, which is quite simply an armored mechanical chariot armed with a machine gun and a Sekhmet, it appears lightly armored, and a shot to its tires can stop it in its tracks most of the time, but it has a decent speed for what it is. They also seem to have fielded the Carrera 'Vera' Series 1 Model 2 Self Loading Light Battle Rifle, which was apparently under work for a while, regardless, it hasn't replaced their old rifle, but it fires without needing a bolt pulled, and to that end, fires a bit faster.

Battle Report, Naval Combat: As it turns out, with absolutely nothing worked on that applies to the sea, by ether sides, the battle goes quite simply more or less in the exact same way it did last year. Our torpedoes help make the enemy ships paranoid and makes them try to stay away from us and kill us with their better guns, but we can still catch up and do damage, especially with our torpedoes, and we still have an advantage

Battle Report, Ruins. Attackers, No one: With the battle here being at a standstill and nothing but the combat for the surrounding waters happening, we moved a particular skilled sniper off to a more needed front in the middle of all the fighting, while the soldiers here had a nice time relaxing and looking up to the mountains where the enemy simply stayed behind their defenses, not coming down from the mountains this year.

Battle Report, Villages/Hills. Attackers, Karikhita, Nafuna: It is here both of our own major new weapon and their own makes its debut. Our bikes are fast and perfect for hit and run tactics that deal a good amount of damage to the enemy and running away before the enemy can retaliate. The usage of bikes most of the time also reduces the amount enemy artillery is able to do to us, and so too do the new helmets we have. However, the enemies new gun is effective and useful against our charges, even more so is their armoured car, as even though we can easily immobilize it, that doesn't stop it from firing, and usually, the best way with dealing with the things is stopping them and moving somewhere else, which we can do, although they tend to follow sometime later if someone misses hitting one of the spare tires on the thing. Our uniforms are also useful here in regards to the fact that they keep our soldiers better hidden, and so too do they keep our snipers. In fact, Tartu who was moved to this front fought with a group of snipers known as Neith's hunters, and he was able to kill a few of them and wound the rest, which did a blow to the moral of the Nafunans. Despite all the bloody fighting however, No one makes any ground [Karikhita 0/4, Nafuna 4/4]

Battle Report, Swamp/Savannah. Attackers, Karikhita, Nafuna: The battles that happen in the Savannah are very similar to the ones that happen in the villages, just we are able to be just that little bit more stealthy which helps our operations go much smother, however, the new guns that they have in the swamp are quite the pain, as while we are able to get one or two shots off before they can retaliate and spot our position, the survivors retaliation is a brutal barrage of fire that cuts down our soldiers quite badly, even if at times they are just guessing where our troops are at times. Of course, their casualties are massive because of our hidden assaults, but stealth alone is not enough to hold off an entire battalion. Still, while we do lose ground, its only barely and they suffer massive casualties doing so, thanks to both our attacks in the savannah and our advantage at remaining unseen. [Karikhita 3/4, Nafuna 1/4]

Outside world and Internal affairs: Thanks to both our expanding industry and the need to produce more oil thanks to how successful the Yavakh motorcycle is, we are now starting to drill for more oil for fuel. In other news, Britain and Japan have signed a treaty after months of negotiating which commits each country to supporting an independent China and Korea, although it acknowledges Japan's 'special interest' in Korea. A United States court of appeals rules that Thomas Edison did not invent the movie camera.  France and Russia issue a joint declaration that approves the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, but stipulates that they have the right to protect interests in China and Korea. The US President Theodore Roosevelt signs a treaty with Mexico under which both countries agree to submit a long-standing dispute over interest payments to the Court of Arbitration at The Hague. And the Boer War Ends with the Treaty of Unity signed, resulting in Britain annexing Transvaal.

Juat to get the ball rolling here is my mortar design again.

Duuguur 8cm mortar: the duuguur a light artillery piece intented to be able to be carried by one or two people. The design is a simple smooth bore metal tube with a base plate and bipod. The mortar has screw crank to adjust elevation between 40 and 80 degrees. The mortar fire 5kg warheads and has fins at the base of the projectile to stabilize it. The propelant is attached to the base of the mortar shell with the option to add additional rings of propellant charges for more power. There is no firing mechanism for the mortar instead there is just a needle at the base of the tube which will set off the propelant when the shell is loaded in.

Right, here's a suggestion to take care of their armored car:

Suirel Anti-Armor Rifle
Named for the loud crash it makes when it fires, the Suirel is a large rifle, one that fires 14x110mm solid steel armor piercing bullets. These bullets are fully expected to be able to pierce the armor plating of Nafuna's new 'Armored Chariot', although recoil is likely to render the Suirel incapable of replacing our main infantry rifles. The Suirel is to be made so it is capable of being mounted to our Yavakh Sidecars.



I suppose we could use our superior engine experience to make self-propelled artillery, but I don't have a suggestion for that right now.

Uuh, What? A mortar is a perfect example of an infantry portable anti-armor weapon. When one of their armored vehicles are taken out, we can just shell it and its done for good.

Mortars are much less accurate than the proposed antitank rifle. MUCH less accurate, and much less effective. They would help more in anti-infantry combat, but with our actually portable machineguns we should still be at least holding them at bay, if not winning entirely in that regard.

The problem i see is that the anti armour rifle is only good for one front right now.

If we realy must have an answer for the armoured car we can make k-bullets with a revision.

...but we aren't. You may have noticed that they won in the swamp. I'm pretty sure their armoured car had nothing to do with that.

E: In fact, bam. I think the mortar is markedly better than the rifle, and will vote as such.

Alright, in an effort to break the tie:

The rifle will only help in one theatre (the Villages). Their armoured car isn't relevant in either the Swamps or the Mountains.
Meanwhile, a mortar will be extremely useful in the mountains, fairly useful in the villages, and very useful in the swamps.

Hard: 6 (I'm very salty over this...I really hope the dice curse you sooner or later...)
Duuguur 8cm mortar:
The Duuguur is a simple and efficient miniature artillery device that can easily be moved around by one person, although usually a team of two people work with the thing, one loading it, the other aiming it. Firing it is as simple as just aiming it at what you want blown up, tossing the shell in the right way around and covering your ears and getting out of the way of the barrel. Its decently accurate, although its still a kind of artillery, so it still is subject to forces such as wind or mobile targets moving out of the way, but it should be decent to use to lessen the blow of our artillery disadvantage. Costs 1 Ore -Cheap.

It is now the Revision Phase, the Khan has thankfully calmed down.
