Design Phase, Early Winter 1915Gwerinwyr Adran of AGC-AMD "Saeth" ModB DG TyD Biplane's over the Bont Gwyn-Nachtburg Road are now at Rookie experience level.
The Admirals are distraught over the result of their last raid, and are planning on ceasing operations for the foreseeable future. They plan on potentially using balloons for a defensive use if given the chance, though are willing to allow the army to enjoy their use.
The General on the road to Nachtburg is pleased with the results of this season and the lands taken before the first snow fall, but would be happy to see more bombers, possibly with bigger explosives. The General in charge of the advance on Hochrotes Schloss is pleased with what he has been given however.
The General in charge of the advance on Sprungburg is annoyed by the setback, and requests a few of those newer bombers to help deal with the enemy artillery. Additionally, General Dremidydd Rosser requests some forces to take the city before the heavy snow makes advancing miserable, which would allow him and his soldiers to fortify Dunklerfelsen after taking it.
Garth Mathias made a formal request for a new aircraft, and none not as large of a target as the Saethydd, along with a request to properly purchase the aircraft he flies from the air force so he can keep it after he gets a new airplane.
High command has increased your budget by 2 PP, as the country devotes more factories to war.

Planes:
-AGC ‘Saeth’ Biplane: A unarmed, single-seater reconnaissance plane made by Awyrennau gwynt cryf, also known as Strong wind aviation. Very accurately named, as its a fairly fast aircraft that is about as easy to turn as a arrow in flight is and not even a strong wind will really push it. The craft is fittingly powered by a five-cylinder rotary engine and made of wood and canvas making it fairly cheap to make. Cost: 3/1
--AGC-AMD "Saeth" Biplane A AGC Saeth variant made after AGC merged with Atebion Mecanyddol Deinamig. It has improved control surfaces, better aerodynamics, and better wing placement allowing it to be more maneuverable and slightly faster both in climb speed and more traditional speed. Its basically a better version of the old Saeth though it is still powered by the same engine.
---AGC-AMD "Saeth" Mod 2B Biplane A variant of the AMD variant that has the improved Rhodri engine and the mounts for two machine guns on the spars near the top side of the wing. Its needless to say faster then the normal AGC-AMD thanks to the engine, though is slower when armed. Costs 4/1
-ACG-AMD AC15 "Saethydd": A two-seater biplane with a Rhodri 10-140 D15 Radial engine in a pusher configuration. The Saethydd mounts two machineguns, one locked in the front for use by the pilot and one for the observer on a ring mount sitting forward of the pilot. Is reasonably fast and maneuverable for its size and very easy to maintain. Cost 5/1.
-AGC-AMD AC15 "Cefyll": A two-seater biplane with a Rhodri 10-160 D15 engine that has a nasty habit of cutting out. Has a steel cowling over the engine and a steel skin over the pilot and gunner, offering a bit more protection. Also has three guns, all used by the gunner with two pointed downward. Slightly faster than the Saethydd. Cost 6/1 (In Development)
Balloons:
-C15 Tŵr Awyr: A two man balloon with a full capacity of 5. One to two people watch out and observe the lines from the sky and take notes while one to two manage communications with the ground. Comes with two sets of Binoculars, two Legal pads, and a Sextant, Radio currently not tested. Costs 2/1
Equipment:
-Bloeddiwr 79: A radio fully integrated with an aircraft that in total adds an extra fifty pounds to the aircraft. Like the GW 78 it is a Morse code receiver/transmitter. Works at frequencies of 400-600kHz and has a 10 mile range. Costs 2
-AGAA AC15: A open bolt air cooled machine gun that fires 8.07mm rounds at about 600 per minute. Quite reliable all things considered. Costs 1 PP
-Deg punt Tri modfedd mortar shell: A 76.2mm or 3 inch shell that is 10 pounds...It doesn't have that much power for obvious reasons, but it works well enough. Costs 1 PP
-Llygad Hir camera: A infinitely focus, glass plate, manually loaded camera that is held by a pilot to take pictures. Also takes nice pictures of the entire squadron. Costs 1 PP
-Fasged Addasiad: A bomb clamp that can be adjusted to hold multiple small bombs or one larger bomb. Can be applies to any aircraft and its cargo is released by the pull of a leaver. Costs 1 PP for two.
Pilots:
-Vigilant: Information in advance is key to any war! Pren Gwyn pilots are very alert and tend to see things in the distance and make out what they are easier.
-Uniforms: green with white accents. Pilots are granted an arrow made of pure copper as a good luck charm to keep with them on their flights, being granted a iron, steel, bronze, silver and gold one to add to their collection as they gain rank.
Technology:
-Basic/Intermediate biplane design
-Basic monoplane design
-Basic balloon design
-Basic pusher configuration design
-Wooden frame construction
-Basic Geodetic frame construction
-Basic control surfaces: ailerons, elevator and rudder
-Ring Gun mounting
-Basic Radial Engine design
-Basic crystal receivers, Morse code
-Basic spark-gap transmitter, Morse code
-Basic Regenerative Circuitry
Resources:
-1 Air Instructors: Instructors who quickly teach new pilots how to take off. How to actually properly use the rudder peddles and flightstick is left as an exercise for the student.
-1 Experimental Testing Field: The place where new aircraft and other air-related equipment are made and tested. Produces five dice worth of progress every turn.
