New Switzerland H1/08

[P3D]

And on which island were the engines developed? Hainan or Taiwan?

Edit your budget to reflect the correct amount of trade disruption. Otherwise I will have to do it.

[Desertfox]

Trade Disruptions where only $6:

The disruption of trade due to the idle merchant fleets and cut telegraph lines is severe. This is equivalent of a $6 decrease.

I was off by $1, but that can be covered by my suprus of $5 so no problem either way.

Correct me if I am wrong but...

With the research and development, you have...

Naval Propulsion: 1st Half Year

... meaning you started this half year.
However, according to the NS Naval technology, you have

Naval Propulsion
1905 Cutting Edge (+3) Engine year 1909, Max. Turbine power 12000HP/Shaft

The next propulsion level is for 1909 and as I understand it, you cannot start researching before 1909.
We're still in 1908...

Maybe he's working on Electric Drive (a sub-set of Naval Propulsion)?

[Walter]

Projects:

-Cavalry Techs (Advanced): 5th Half Year (60%)
-Amphibious Techs (Advanced): 3rd Half Year
-Infantry Techs (Advanced): 3rd Half Year
-Electric Propulsion (Baseline): 3rd Half Year
-Secret: 2nd Half Year
-Naval Propulsion: 1st Half Year

I would assume that the "Electric Propulsion" in the report is what you're referring to. As you can see, that one is separate in the report. NS has already got oil-firing boilers and any other tech from the propulsion sub-set won't appear until 1912 ("Geared Drives" and "Capital Ship Diesel Engines"). So as far as I know, the only logical tech the report refers to is the "1909: Engine year 1912, Max. Turbine power 20000HP/Shaft" level.

Teach me to comment without actually reading the report.  :D

Your right, but it was agreed that those who were technologicaly advanced in certain areas could begin researching the next one, one year early.

[Walter]

That's news to me. I never agreed to that and would never agree to that either... of course, the same thing has happened in the Wesworld with a few things that were accepted which I never agreed with so it's not the first time this has happened to me. :)
Also it is not given in the 'Rules/Research' thread (where it should be mentioned).

[Carthaginian]

All I heard was the fact that those people could use their advanced tech prior to the years that it could be researched, not that we could begin researching the next step early.

When was that agreed on? As this is the first time I have heard anything about it. And who decides who are technologicaly advanced?
As Carthaginian said, using what you got ahead is the only thing I have heard anything about (and I am against that as well).

News to me. But I have a rotten memory. Desertfox, care to point out the post where that was mentioned?

But Ill be going with Torpedo Technologies instead.

OK

Question. Now that Japan is engaging the Swiss forces in the Saipan area, shouldn't the Swiss report be altered to reflect the fact that ammunition is being spent by those units that are being engaged and were engaged by the Japanese??
