It is now the Design Phase, make your stuff.


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+

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++.

Magnus barrier generator
A... Fascinating variant of a conventional magnus engine. Thanks to some miscarved runes we accidentally discovered it when testing designs for an ani-magnus soul engine and magnus engine, this version of a magnus engine doesn't generate the normal set of "Phantom limbs". Rather it seems to generate a weak "Phantom barrier", which seems to operate on the same principles, but can repel and slow down incoming fire, potentially even stopping exceptionally small and slow projectiles, causing them to bounce off. Unfortunately, this is mutually exclusive with the normal effects of a Magnus Engine, any mech with a "Phantom barrier" can't use a magnus engine for the "Phantom limbs" it can create, as they interfere with the barrier, and vice versa.

Thanks to the S-O 1.2" QF Rifle, we now know how to produce Quick Firing weapons for our mechs. The problem is that it fires small, solid shell rounds, which have underwhelming effects on the enemy assault gun walkers.

Enter the Svetford. Following the same QF mechanism, yet firing 15-pound, 3 inch shells (offering HE, APHE and smoke), it will allow us to dominate the field. Whilst it will be designed for comfortable in the cosy environment of a mech, we will also give it a wheeled carriage and offer it to the army and navy, if they're interested.

Hopefully this will roll well on its own, and we can then use q revision to make a mod of the Bittercup with this cannon.

Svetford QF Cannon

Rolled: 6 with 0 difficulty.

The Svetford is a quality cannon and platform. It is able to reliably deliver the HE, APHE or Specialty-Smoke shells with decent accuracy though with a slow velocity due to a slow burning blackpowder propellant in common use in the Sordland armed forces. On the drawn carriage models it preforms well though when mounted it tends to cause a fair bit of recoil which is negated buy a simple recoil piston.

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.

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.
