Foxglove protection modification
As our common platform the Foxglove has proved inadequate in protecting it's operators, for that a couple of simple changes will be performed:
-A handle will be attached to the gun to allow it to be rotated from within the cabin (Is cabin the right word?)
-A periscope, also rotatable will be added to allow the gunner to see where the gun aims from their position.
-Light wooden planks will extend the metal armor upward, with spaces left over for the gun and periscope, to hide the user while reloading the gun

Butterbowl
The enemy walkers have higher range and alpha damage, pushing us back despite us superior construction.

In response, we shall make a modifier Buttercup, designed to take the fight to them at range. We shall replace the Hankerfield Crank Cannon with a single Svetford, enlarging the cabin slightly if necessary.

Rolled: 7

The Butterbowl is quite the machine indeed. We were able to fit the Svetford cannon onto the Buttercup chassis with only a slightly large widening of the footplate and the armored cabin to accommodate the gun and its ammunition. The increased weight of the gun and the armor means that the top speed of the Butterbowl is lowered down to 9.5mph and the recoil of the cannon makes any attempt at firing the gun while moving at any speed above a slow trot a hard task. We've also had to add an extra crewmember to assist in loading.

Butterbowl Gun Vessel: Based on the Buttercup chassis the Butterbowl mounts a 3" Svetfort cannon on a modified frame keeping the same casemate and armor scheme, it's max speed is 9.5mph. It possesses an extra loader to help handle the heavy shells.

----------

Now is the time to choose where to attack with your fresh mechs, don't mess up.

Sordland Armory

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hankerfield Crank Cannon: A 37mm 6 barreled crank cannon fed from a hopper, its capable of holding 12 shells ready in the hopper and has to be fed by hand and point of fire adjusted by hand with crank wheels. Capable of firing both solid shot and experimental high explosive shells it is quite reliable and jams are easy to clear by continuing to turn the crank. It is Cheap to produce

Sordland Ordinance 1.2" Quick Fire Rifle: The 'S-O 1.2" QF Rifle' fires a solid steel shell out of it's rather long 5'3" riffled barrel at extreme speed, designed for hitting small craft that get too close to Sordish capital ships the 1.2" shell was found to be too small to provide sufficient damage to enemy warships other than easily patched holes. It possesses a QF system to increase rate of fire, using recoil to kick out spent casings after firing. It is Cheap+

Svetford QF Cannon: The Svetford QF Cannon sends a 15-Pound 3" shell of multiple variates: HE, APHE and Specialty-Smoke. Each of these at a slow velocity but with good accuracy and a fair bit of recoil. The recoil controlled by a rather small recoil piston. It is Cheap++ and Medium+ in size.
-
Basic Scrap Soul Engine: A simple Soul Engine capable of using Scrap souls for power. It is currently Cheap to produce

Shoddy Medium Quality Animal Soul Engine which is more powerful than the Scrap Engine but breaks down occasionally and is currently Expensive to produce.

The Decent Quality Animal Soul Engine: Thanks to a nationwide vocational training regiment and many threats of bodily harm the quality of parts and runes for their Medium Engines has risen. While not more than marginally powerful than the former engine it is much more reliable. It is currently Expensive+ to produce

Basic Infantry: Basic Line Infantry with single shot cartridge rifles and brightly colored uniforms. Crucial for holding the ground the mechs take.

Basic Artillery: Basic muzzle and breech loading artillery capable of firing high explosive shells. A lucky hit will knock out a weaker mech.
-
The Buttercup-Class Gun Vessel: The Buttercup is a 4 legged 'spider pattern' walker with a casemated crank cannon surrounded on 3 sides by an unroofed iron box measuring 1.5 inch thickness on the front and 1 inch thickness on the sides. It has a crew of 4: 2 gunner operators, 1 officer and 1 driver. It is unmatched in speed on the battlefield except by horses by being capable of sprinting at a blistering 12 MPH, though in practice this max speed is better reserved for emergency situations and joining the infantry in bayonet charges. The Crew also has carbines for self defense. It is Expensive+ to produce on account for the quality parts needed to keep the legs moving at such a blistering speed.

The Foxglove Dragoon Walker: A bipedal mech 1.5 times the height of an average man driven and operated by a single man. The main body of the mech is soely the Scrap-Engine used to power the pair of legs used for movement. The Foxglove is fully armored though with the most reliable armor protecting the front of the mech and the Soul-Engine. The driver has a single swivel mounted standard issue rifle and a handful of unreliable home-made grenades to use for offense and defense. It is Cheap++ to produce.

Foxglove Mk.2: The Mk.2 mounts a new 1.2" QF Rifle on the frame with slightly better armor protection and stability, it keeps the same speed as before though with a bit more sway while sprinting due to the abnormal length of it's main cannon. It is Cheap++.

Butterbowl Gun Vessel: Based on the Buttercup chassis the Butterbowl mounts a 3" Svetfort cannon on a modified frame keeping the same casemate and armor scheme, it's max speed is 9.5mph. It possesses an extra loader to help handle the heavy shells. It is Expensive+ to produce.

Awesome. I reckon the Hills is our best choice.
