Just as an aside. is it possible to stea ltechs in this scenario. if so maybe we should do that and spend a lot less on science and save it for the military.

We can't steal technology until we get Mossad technology.
Anyway, I suggest we buy at least one tank division next turn, possibly two if the treasury allows. They are very mobile, and would allow more cities to build infantry and not slow artillery.

Indeed, we need tanks next month. I feel in my bones, that with tanks, we will be inspired to a new tradition of running down Palestinians in their homes, which will be very beneficial to the Motherland.

@ El
You sound so brutal.. Let's just say that we will help them to move..![]()
Anyways, I will buy at least one T-34 Next turn.

As I said in the turn thread, we have more money now, and I suggest we use it to buy at least two tanks and an airplane (spitfire), or possibly 3 tanks.

not upto date on enemy bombing runs have they been many, if not i suggest 3 tanks, if enemy bombers hitting us i suggest one spitfire
GM of MAFIA #40 ,#41, #43, #45,#47,#49-#51,#53-#58,#61,#68,#70, #71

Well, our AA has *generally* been coping well with bombers, downing two or three before it's either destroyed (in one case) or the enemy gives up.
However, air support is always handy, especially for reconaissance into enemy territory.![]()

Okay, so the suggestions are either
* 2 T-34's and 1 Spitfire
or
* 3 T-34's
Any other suggestions?
The suggestions will cost 1500/1600$ and I think we can easily afford that now that we got 3000$. We will have much money still to rushbuy. I will also increase the tax-rate this month.
"Peace cannot be kept by force.

Let's go with option A, so if you would please purchase us some arms, Mr Economic Minister...![]()

Let us know also about some rush buys in any of the critical sectors such as the Golan, around the Dead Sea and south of Tel Aviv.
3000, can also be used for rush buys in country.
Where did the transport off of Cyprus go?????????????

You Mr. Defense Minister could also start a thread for general things to built as well, not just rush buys.
Anyone, the transport is in square 7,25, and was the first thing flashing when I opened the file.
And the immigrants move now, just click on them.

GM of MAFIA #40 ,#41, #43, #45,#47,#49-#51,#53-#58,#61,#68,#70, #71

I moved the transport. When I tried to see how the immigrants moved, I spotted an enemy gunboat off the coast, so I decided to run.![]()

Hehe! Hopefully a smart choise El
Anywho, since our party seems to be the only one who caresI will go with the first option then. And of course, there will be money for rushbuys too..

OK, I understand, do we need to get some cover for that transport?Originally posted by El Awrence

How about that Gunboat you used two turns ago? Is it healed yet? Will that be enough "muscle" to protect the transport?

It was under immigration command, but it seemed like it was being used to patrol the coast and lebanese gunboats slipped past it.

another patrol boat sounds like a ncessity .. cant allow the transport to be sunk

Actually MR PM, I have an alternate plan.Originally posted by PinkyGen

I believe the Econ Minister and myself should have a combined thread.
Why? Because I think it would work better to have all the discussion on what to buy and what to rush in one thread, since the two topics are intertwined.
I go back to my experience in Red Front. After a while when I was Marshall and Gen Secrty I decreed that all requests for builds and rushes be placed in the Econ Ministers thread. It was just a heck of a lot easier to keep track off and prevented cross posting to two threads for everyone.
So if our esteemed Econ Minister agrees I would prefer to call this the Econ Minister and Defense Minister thread.
(Notice Arthedain, I put your ministry first in the title)
*"Winning is still the goal, and we cannot win if we lose (gawd, that was brilliant - you can quote me on that if you want. And con - I don't want to see that in your sig."- Beta

I thoroughly endorse that product/service.
Very well, your coup may continue.![]()

i concur..

I'm gonna buy two T-34's and a Spitfire.. And rushbuy the most needed things.. Then the normal.. look over tax/tech/lux rates and workers in the cities![]()

Disposition of forces is up to the COS, El Awrence. Go beg him.
El, I want you to move, and if you think it wise, fight with the tanks before you start the next turn. There's no point in letting them sit out of Tel Aviv for a turn when we can move them.
Also, in general, I want the Defense Minister to see to it that there is no wasted production going on this turn.And someone please tell me why Eilat has no city defenses?????
