part one

bump lets get this started again peoples

where's my batman put the gin?

what? Let's get this rolling again people srsly

Bump

You have set out for the silver vein your experts have told you about in the jungle. Would you like to proceed along pre cut paths in the dark continent no matter where they lead (and risk getting lost) or cut your own path with your workers?

Reminder: you are heading north and the silver vein you are looking for is rumored to be near a lost city. Winston comments saying that "Cities and shite like that are for the army, lets just mine this bitch of a jungle and cut loose. I don't want to be here long."

godfried comments that there are advantaged to setting up a long term settlement.

oh my god I haven't played this before and I desperately want to

however, I have to get my appendix out. for reals. I kinda have my laptop here, and surgery's in like five minutes

I say we cut our own way. We are in it for the adventure rigth

Health b4 /tg/ dude, dont wanna have a player esplode just cause they did one more comment here.

Next serious poster gets to choose-use established paths north or cut a path directly through jungle

>>6794273
cut a path! Do it!

Sometimes I hate writing long posts then finding my questions answered. You start cutting your way north. The WW1 era trucks are having alot of problems, but the mechanics in your expert core are proving themselves by fixing them. The rifles are riding pompously in the trucks while the workers do all the machete grunt work. Do you want to cover your trail so others dont follow or create a dirt road as you go for more supplies? Do you want the rifles to do any labor or put it all on the workers?

Cut a path for what? SLASH AND BURN this jungle untill we have some proper ground to plant foodstuffs on in the future.

Let the foetid, wasteland jungle weep and shrink back from our bright burning torches of Christianity and Civilization!

>>6794301
Yes, have those guys sling their rifles across their back and get to work! They are vets and former soldiers, they know work that needs to be done when they see it.

Rotate the workers and rifles out so they can rest and keep and eye out for danger in the shade.

To make the progress go faster, you have the rifles start burning through the jungle to make a path. Because of the humidity the fire doesnt spread and is a very useful tool. However, the fire creates a trail of evidence that is impossible to cover up, so it is recomended you build a dirt road. Orders for the workers? road or no road? do the rifles continue working?

>>6794301
Dirt road! And let the workes do it.

>>6794359
dirt road, workers build it, leave behind 25 rifles to cover them

The workers start making a road behind you as the rifles press forward with torches and machetes. The (unguarded) workers have started to complain of shadows in the brush.

Winston working with the rifles has uncovered a body of a native. He is ornemented with what the experts tell you are bone jewelry pieces of the tribe of the death serpent.

Winston asks you what we should do about the bloody natives.

>>6794393
send a small contingent of rifles to cover the workers, over the rifles to clear the forest cautiously as they advance, keep their eyes open

The 25 rifles you sent back have been laying about in the trucks and not doing much, and the workers have remained unguarded. Several have reported seeing large amounts of shadows and skull faces in the forest

>>6794393
If they cause trouble I say we make an example of them. Kill 'em all.

you never did answer the first qustion. Where has one's batman put the gin, and of course its associated tonic water?
Because if one is going into the jungle, then one's dashed well going to have gin to go with the quinnine, to resist malaria.

OP, you fail in your research.

>>6794421
we said the 25 rifles are guarding the workers, what the hell man? bust out the gatling guns and set up camp.

>>6794393

kill 'em all

Lol, quinine and gin are in the extra supplies. Anyways, the soldiers reach a clearing. One side of the clearing is blocked off by vines that you cannot see past, and the other way is the way by which youve come. This clearing is full of stones and crudely chopped trees.

Winston says "If this isnt a bloody trap then I've never seen one".

Do you circle the trucks? do you burn the vines? do you reorganize the layout of your forces?

Sorry, wasnt reading fast enough. You set up the gatlings to cover the W and E sides of the clearing, and gather the trucks in the center. You put 50 rifles in front and in back. The workers and experts are guarding the supplies in the center of this formation. What do you do about the vines?

>>6794466
Burn it.

>>6794454
what time of day is it? regardless, circle up the trucks, form a barricaded camp, and set up the gatling guns on the truck bed, order the rifles to begin firebombing the surrounding forest/ preparing for war, have your workers finish their progress for the day, and return to the camp, escorted by their guard contingent.

Confirm? next post decides

Do you burn the vines tonight or sleep then wake up and burn?

>>6794472

The rifles start burning the vines. This unleashes a massive log roll that was kept in place by the vines. Your workers wake up and 20 rifles are crushed. You hear wild native shouting and see spearmen getting ready to charge your camp in the forest. Javelins fly out of the trees. ORDERS?

>>6794483
morning, but keep at least half of your mil. contingent on watch, let the workers rest

>>6794511
cover by the trucks, let the gattlings massacre the heathen scum

spears aint got nothing on fire and lead, let em have it chaps!!!!!!!! NO ONE RUNS, STAY AND FIGHT FOR HER MAJESTY.

The natives charge your gatling and everyone is screaming as the jungle is lit up by hundreds of rifle and gatling shots. In the morning you find that in the confusion the natives javelined the wheels of the 2 lead trucks, and this will take a while to repair (1 day).

Also, what do we do with the stacks of native corpses. They stink.

>>6794511
Get the gattlings going! kill kill kill!

>>6794556
throw then in the forest, have the workers and half of your rifles work to dig trenches and clear forest whilst your other rifles cover them, work withe the experts to determine a path to the city, do not leave the camp. FORTIFY FORTIFY

Set up the gatling guns, keep the rifles on shifts and BURN THE JUNGLE, making sure there is at least 2 soldiers and 2 workers awake at all times to make sure the fire is working its magic and nothing evil is sneaking up on us.

>>6794589
also, have the experts analyze the bodies, determine tribe structure, culture, etc.

The experts go out well guarded and the natives only skirmish a few times due to the gatlings and the everburning ring of fire around the camp (not that actually destructive cause of the humidity). The experts determine that the silver vein is less than a day's journey away and that the city is probably a week away. Do you start settling in long term here or start the convoy moving again? You have 80 rifles, 50 workers, and 50 experts.

bump keep it alive

>>6794636
move the convey, heres how its set up, one truck at each end of the convey, each mounted with a gatling, rifles and workers burning a temporary path

>>6794668
why the fuck did i type convey?
so stoned
*convoy

head out for the silver vein, thatll be the perm. camp till we get enough reinforcement/ supplies to pus to the city

You start rolling the convoy again. Winston spots an explorer balloon in the distance flying French colors. In case it spots you what colors do you want to be flying? Your old regiments? The british jack? the industrial company flag?

Also there has been some problems between the workers and the rifles. They are getting upset with their treatment as compared to the others.

Head for the silver vein.

>>6794700
industrial flag, keep them pushing w/ your high charisma, lauding the hopeful paradise of the silver vein, preaching wealth

The workers are complaining that they feel they are getting inferior treatment to the rifles. The French balloon disappeared. You are slowly getting to the vein. Who do you want to ride in the trucks? rifles? experts? workers (heresy)? no one (extra heresy)?

>>6794700
tell 'em to stop bitchin

>>6794737
let the workers and rifles ride in shifts, but keep the majority of them working at a steady, but less hurried pace, we dont want to break them

>>6794737
Experts.

expert also riding in shifts, the others who arent riding directing the progress of the workers/rifles up close, more involved, helping to remove the distinction

>>6794766
no, experts already seem too pretentious, workers and rifles might get pissed and kill them

The experts are snide in the fact that they get to ride, and the workers and rifles both know that the experts are way above their paygrade so they dont complain.

With only a couple death tribe sightings you get to where the experts have predicted a silver vein to be. There is a tiny rock outcropping and just a cursory glace reveals that it has tons of silver. However etched into the rock are death tribe sigils. In true british fashion, Winston breaks open the rock with a pickaxe. Godfried suggests you clear the area of trees and set up camp. Orders? remember give sepcific instructions to every block of 50.

bumpage for life

>>6794804
50 rifles, circles the trucks and dig trenches, 50 workers and 30 rifles work to clear forest. let them rest in shifts, dont press them to hard, work with the experts to dig into the vein

Make the workes make a camp. Use 30 rifles to set ut a defensive perimiter. the other 50 can help the workers. make the experst mine!

>>6794834
this, also, have a couple experts and winston draw up plans to develop the road you arrived on

Common guys, youve finally arrived at the campsite! Give orders to all the troops so we can get down to colony making business!

>>6794834
also gatling guns on the trucks as before

woops, sorry longpost got outdated

>>6794834
this until the next day.

Ask for volunteer rifles to venture up the hillside to secure the high ground.

Don't want those damned savages taking us by suprise.

>>6794869
yeah, whats the topography like?

>>6794869
Good idea. Let Winston lead them.

The experts start drawing up plans for a mineshaft and testing the soil while not doing any physical labor. The workers and rifles clear the forest in shits, and now you have about 1/2 of an acre of open fertile ground. How do you set up? remember, you brought iron sheets and tons of wood and cloth and sandbags with you. Also, the jungle wood is subpar to the imported stuff u have with you, but it is in large supply when u want to use it. Now /tg/, build DAT COLONY

OP, is Roarke pronounced "Rork" or Row-ark"?
It would change depending on region.

>>6794881
Clear out more land. We need more visibility. Once that is done I say we make quartes for the men. Sleeping outside sucks.

Winston and the rifles come back with something that looks like a 3 way cross btw a rabbit a turkey and a chicken. It is quite tasty through and about the size of an ostrich. They couldnt find good high ground, this area is pretty level, and when they got past a certain point there we signs of death tribes everywhere scratched into trees.

>>6794881
trucks on opposite sides of the camp w/ the gattlings, use the strongest metal and wood to build barricades near them, make the trucks permanent strong points/watchtower things, use the subpar wood to support the trenches that you have built around the entire camp, rifles in the trenches and on the trucks, workers work to dig in the mine, using your imported wood as supports/ hq building material, allow winston to go seek the high ground in the morning

>>6794916
temp barracks in the pit near the mines, sheltered, give the rifles and workers short shifts, theyve done alot of work already

>>6794914
set up for the night, bring all troops in, send a scouting part in the morning to try and find the death tribe villages

You decide to build a trenchworks surrounding the camp. Most of your effort goes into that. You reinforce it with some of the jungle wood. Your men are complaining about sleeping on the wet dirt. (remember if you want to build something name the materials used for each part ie cloth roof or sandbag walls)

>>6794905
yeah, this to, 1/2 an acre isnt much

>>6794948
sandbag walls, dont make your men work that arduously

STOP

HAMMERTIME

Alright give me a minute to write up the camp after a week no more suggestions for 10 secs

Take all the fuel and rum rations, put them in a crate, puncture the crate with a tiny hole, lash it to a horse with the rope, send the horse running through the jungle, after an hour, light the trail of fuel and rum. Observe the results.

>>6794989
no

You have build a circular camp for now it is very small at 1/2 an acre but your men are working on clearing. barracks and Hq are made of sandbags reinforced with import wood and metal roofs covered in cloth. The trenches are lined with the jungle wood, and the trucks have been converted to strongpoints with the gatlings bolted down. Your men are currently clearing more land. The experts are lounging about, the rifles are guarding, and the workers are clearing. Orders?

remember, you need to start mining soon, and perhaps you should talk to the leader of the experts. Also, whenever you have spare men, you still dont know the exact location of the city.

>>6795000
is it morning? if so, party of 10 experts, 10 soldiers and winston send out to scout, emphasize that they remain discreet, and to hurry back with their observations. the rest of the experts get mining/ refining, have 25 workers working on the camp, the other 25 are accompanied by 20 soldiers, and work to better prepare the road for trade

>>6795030
the city can wait, we dont have nearly enough men, we need a strong homebase first.

good thread OP, very heart of darkness, i like it

The experts had felt superior before, and they are ticked off that they have to mine, but they do so. The workers have now cleared 1 acre, and have discovered the edge of death tribe territory right next to your camp. Also, they have started working on the roads again. Winston asks for permission to lead 30 rifles to scout the city boundries

The holes used to fill the sandbags should form a perimeter trench around the accesses of the mine.

No more of that avalanche-o-logs killing our boys. A good 3-foot trench around the campsite and reinforce it with native-logs stuck into the ground at an angle to catch anything the natives might want to roll into our trenches.

Save the nice wood for building solid barracks with a good messhall with the plan to start cooking up hot chow for the poor damn disgrunted workers.

We need to start mining so we can get cash for more weapons and shit. So tell the experts to get their asses in gear.

>>6795075
tell winston only 20 soldiers

You start working on enlarging the barracks. The leader of the experts is petitioning for the experts to be exempt from all physical gruntwork and Winston is still asking you about going on a mission to the city. You spot the French balloon again, what flag do you raise?

>>6795075
A discreet probe into their midst to check their strength.

Back at the settlement, put those gattling guns up on some elevated land to give the site a good feild of fire, especially on that death-tribe side of the world.

Thinking about turning that part of the jungle into barren wasteland and burning the whole lot of those savages dead!

Winston agrees to the reduction and goes. Only 60 rifles are available for 1 week. Please answer questions of my last post

assuming that the camp is in ok order (barracks, mess hall, functioning mine, good defenses) also, start packing crates full of silver for transport to the coast so we can get more shit, i want some fucking cannons, tell a couple of the workers to start building carts to carry the goods

The leader of the experts keeps petitioning for less labor, the balloon is getting closer. CRITICAL! How do you react and what flag do you raise?

>>6795109
industrial, yet again, cover the gattlings and the rifles, keep the experts in line with charisma, and pay, however, keep an eye on them, consign them more to packaging/refinement, workers working most actual mine shifts, use 10 ore so of your 60 soldiers as a hunting/foraging party, the other 50 remain on guard

>>6795162
>>6795150

>>6795125
Industrial flag

build watch towers out of jungle wood and maintain watch at all times at night light fires on the perimiter

>>6795150
remind winston of his place as well

>>6795186
yeah, and base the towers off of the trucks

You raise your company's colors, and the balloon starts to get closer, Godfried notes that you could shoot it down with the gatling, but these are probably people from a larger party of explorers. BTW, your first shipment of ore is 1/2 done.

The French ballon? Raise the dammned Union Jack, they won't risk a war with some mine out in the middle of the jungle and what is that ballon going to do with us?

>>6795203
let them pass, keep your armaments unnoticeable, we dont want another conflict, up work progress, saying that the workers may rest once it is done

How do you react to the balloon people?

>>6795215
>part of a larger exploring party

you switch flags to the jack and they turn and start heading away. Theyll be back. Anyways, what do you do now? your miners are mining your rifles are guarding, and the scouting party will be back in 3 days. orders?

>>6795219
>>6795222

>>6795222
No point in opening fire, we don't need another conflict.

>>6795222
We should let them know who we are. British Flag and Company Banner waving proudly.

If they decide to come through the jungle to fight us they might even take care of our savage-question all in the same action.

FUCK THE NIGGERS

>>6795239
build up worker and soldier accomodations along with the watch towers, clear some more space, now that the french know that you are here, be prepared to confront them, possible trade allies?

use stone from the mine to reinforce your buildings

You dont shoot at them as they retreat, but you have revealed your Britishness. Your shipment of ore is completed just as Winston gets back. He hands you a crudely drawn map of the location of the city. you notice he only has 10 men with him. He walks to his bunk and goes to sleep without another word. The first reinforcement/trade caravan will be here in 2 days, orders?

>>6795239
see if you can do anything to scare these superstitious neighbors, displays of your advanced tech

do you have any barbed wire in your supplies

>>6795285
let winston rest, we dont need a person recovering from trauma leading troops, work hard to meet the trade deadline, stay out of the forest, wait until the reinforcements to even contemplate goin to the city. once winston recovers, milk him for info on the tribes

>>6795285
Just keep clearing out the jungel. Visibility is imperative.

You reinforce the watchtowers based off the trucks, and you string barbed wire around your trenchworks. Note: although you have cleared 1 acre you only are inhabiting 1/2 of that. You guys should work up a list of things that you want the convoy to bring on its second visit. Trade depot building?

I'm gonna want to know what happened with Winston and where our soldiers went, when I told him this should be a simple probe to confirm where the savages are.

Fortifiy the compound and fortify the structures on post. Make this place look like a goddamn settlement worthy of the Queen's Domain!

>>6795281
yea, surplus stone(limestone? shale?) is used to fortify you trenches and buildings, keep upgrading them and your watchtower/truck/gun things

request a translator so you can try and buy off the natives with beads and such

>>6795314
get em to bring more troops and officers, this hellhole needs some order by god! also, shit to build a foundry so we can cast our own shit

>>6795314
DIG A WELL. IMPERATIVE.

Instead of expanding your settlement, you focus on reinforcing the existing structures, and now your settlement is much better defended. When you go take to Winston he tells you the story of how another tribe of natives in the city ambushed his party when they went in looking for treasure.

2 things, how react to winston and what is your wishlist for the 2nd visit of the caravan that arrives tmorrow?

send a message with the convoy to a british army camp they my be able to scare the french away

>>6795314
We should assemble a warehouse for our silver ore to be stockpiled, as well as an office to ensure things get done.

We need to import more soldiers and laborers for the mines, as well as bedding, medicine and proper food and clothing.

Maybe some Gin for the disillusioned workers we have now.

get a water flow and set up a garden for fresh food to starve off disease

>>6795355
and more guns!

>>6795351
tell winston this is only to be expected, not blame himself, etc.

bricks and mortar
well digging stuff
seeds
cannon

>>6795357
we need a permanent food flow

hope for some framers and some farm animals chickens sheep and maby a cow or 2 for fresh milk

>>6795351
I would tell Winston I am very dissappoint. I only authorized the adventure exactly because I wanted him to not get ambushed.

He gets a stern British look and furrowed brow.

>>6795373
fuck yes. CANNONS WOT WOT CHEERIO SHOW THESE BROWN SKINNED RUFFIANS

also...is this steampunk or british empire?

You hastily build a trade depot outside of the walls of your British DOOMFORTRESS. When they arrive you get 20 more workers and........a requisition form. you sign it in ways indicating that you want more men and officers and they shake their head and hand you 5RP, youve earned it. Orders? Do you tell them about the French?

are the native able to be bribed or tricked?

We should see if we can't get any of the natives to work for us, and then do the typical favoring one arbitrary group over another so they go nuts later and kill each other off.

>>6795392
ignore the french tell them to get cannons and shit to feed our populace, start working on the second ring of defenses, break the workers in, ask for some flamethrowers/ flame weapons of any sort

Yes tell them about the French bastards and the savages out in the woodline.

request farmers farm animals and supplies also dogs

This is steampunk and british empire, though more empire. You chastise Winston, and start expanding your settlement. You build in circular layers, like an onion, with HQ and living quarters in the center. In the next layer, you put down a well and start planting some scavenged native seeds. The experts assist enourmously. Ill assume you didnt tell the convoy about the French unless u guys object. ORDERS?

>>6795400
this, the 'death tribe' probably isnt liked to well by the other natives that much either, when approaching the them a) DONT SEND WINSTON b) dont come off as too christian, set up a food flow with them

We should hire a few mercenaries. To train our workers and our lackluster riflemen the finer points of warfare and to serve as our shock-troops in case things turn for the worst.

>>6795400


Well...considering how that kind of shit is what they actually did, and it worked pretty well I'd say we need to do that eventually.

You start building a second layer of trenchworks outside your new farms and wells. Both Godfried and Winston cry out against making contact with the natives, do you try anyway? Orders?

>>6795424
let your well sized worker force build up rings, and clear, and mine, whilst the soldiers guard, send the leader of the experts and a small party of 10 experts and 10 soldiers to find a peaceable farming tribe

build a tavern to improve morale of your people

>>6795442
winston is biased, ignore his advice on every thing but fighting

>>6795456
build it off the trade post/barrack complex to save space

set up a small sawmill you you can better prepare local timber if it would be profitable to sell to convoys expand the sawmill

are you shure u wanna send out a party of experts? they are very valuable and not easily replaced. The second layer is progressing well, and workers have expanded the clearing to 1 1/2 acres

I would strongly agree with Winston in reguards to making contact with the natives. They deserve nothing less then hot lead and a cold grave!

Still, I suppose our agricultural efforts might be hampered with a lack of knowledge of what the fuck they are even planting...

have some experts research/construct some explosives for the mine and combat

>>6795482
sawmill/carpenter

>>6795442
no contact. it's not the brittish way

>>6795483
only 5 experts, 10 soldiers

You hear gunshots in the distance, over by the death tribe lands, what do you do?

>>6795488
this

>>6795510
is from your party of experts/soldiers? or mayhap some french frogs?

When there is a CRISIS you cant do anything until it is resolved. How do you respond to the noise in the death tribe lands? investigate/ignore? Use winston? ORDERS?

>>6795510
None of our people are out in that savage land, right?

Wake up the riflemen and put them on the fortifications! It could be those basterd Frenchmen!

did the scouting mission find a river nearby if so could it be diverted with the use of explosives to for a barrier between you and death tribe lands and provide iriagtion for far lands

>>6795541
circle your men, do not leave at any cost, natives are trying to draw us into the woods

send a small part of your best men with winston to sneak and find out whats happening

yeah, none of your people are out there, you guys downvoted the experts scouting party. Anyways, explosives are attainable from enemy explorers and convoys ONLY, this aint DORFFORTRESS, you ant make everything out of nothing.

its a trap

>>6795541
Mobilize the men for defense but only shout to distant gunfighters.

They will come to us, or they will die out there.

>>6795559
hunker down, dont leave the camp, however, provide a horn blast to signal safety

Winston looks down the scope of his small game rifle, and then hands it to you. It's a frenchman standing on a pile of native corpses and soil with a cut down repeating rifle + bayonet in each hand single handedly being BadassMcAssbaddery. Winston asks for permission to snipe his frog ass. ORDERS?

put in an order for 2 more trucks with gattlings, they will be usefull to move goods up and down your road as our other trucks have become fixed palcements

Buddy, the convoy already came, the wishlist was already made. react to crisis here

>>6795595
bad winston, send a party of soldiers to cover him as he retreats back to our camp

>>6795595

Attempt a non-lethal disabling shot. When the situation has stabilized, capture the frenchman and torture him for information on the natives and French activity in the area. Then kill him and take his weapons.

>>6795595
Invite them in, poison all the wine and cheese.

>>6795595
remind winston of his place AGAIN the frenchy can be a valuable resource, he's certainly better than winston

Winston is sitting next to you. you are both staring at French rambo out there. ORDERS? winston offered to snipe him, and it is nighttime.

>>6795595
Allow the Frenchman to approach if he wishes to but immediately place his damn frog ass under arrest/ protective asylum.

As him alot of questions, I hope we have a man that speaks french?

set up trade relations with the french, we need explosives men

It''s nightime, so winston misses, however the frenchman notices the shot and runs away shooting as he goes. He is running southwest.

GODDAMN IT WINSTON YOU UNCOUTH FOOL

blow winstons' retarded brains out. asshole.

Send Winston after him. Hope he doesn't come back.

Yeah, have the men cover Rambotine to the fort, and protect him from danger, but place his frog ass under arrest and disarm him and his friends untill we get to know our French friends a little better.

>>6795649
Dude, three ppl voted against shooting. one for.

Winston says dammit and reloads. CRISIS over. What are your orders for the next day?

Winston sucks...

>>6795676
tell winston to be less of a douche tomorrow

what earthmoving equipment can be aquired in this setting?

The first responses are what i write to, in every other case people have said you hate french. sorry will wait for more responses next time, used to working with like only 1 or 2 responses. ORDERS?

>>6795676
continue relative isolationist policy, the frenchman probably wasnt stupid enough to run directly to his base. build shit, mine shit, keep morals high

>>6795670
Yeah, thats what sucks about any group of people though.

Winston is going to be herded into a quiet room and shouted at in colourful English parabols by the expedition officers.

Winston slinks off to his bed. Shovels and dynamite are all you can get to move earth these days, and dynamite is something u dont have.

Send some one after the frogger. If he survives, and tells his friends we tried to shoot him we're boned.

>>6795708

Examine the logistics of using the rum rations as a makeshift explosive.

>>6795690
any way of establishing a railroad between your base and the coast?

build a sawmill and start milling local timber as you clear jungle

>>6795727
Don't think that would work. The bloody natives would just fuck up the rails and shit.

You order Winston to pursue the Frenchman as punishment (confirm? remember he is part of your retinue)
you continue clearing land and mining, but the rain is slowing up all efforts and moral is slightly lessened. Experts start drafting plans for a sawmill.

So the crumbly bits of the mine are mined out and it needs explosives to carve it out any further?

We should be sitting on a fucking fortune of silver ore right now, so maybe instead of the miner's beating up the rock with shovels we can put them to work making this settlement even more glorious to the Crown?

winston is becoming trouble, promote your highest value worker to head of industry, your highest value soldier to general of the militia, establish a cabinet to spread the powers and reduce winston's self worth. DO EEET

>>6795738
Yeah. Let Winston make up for his mistake.

>>6795738

Cancel WInston's pursuit. Despite his incompetence we may need him. Make him help with the arduous digging, however.

>>6795745
>>6795745

I need a confirm y/n on if Winston has to go pursue as punishment. With your next shipment of ore half done way ahead of schedule you start building up. HOW do you want to build up? ORDERS?

>>6795747
Nahm, give him a chance to redeem him self

>>6795747
yeah, he's a complete douche, but some of the soldiers might have grown too loyal to him

>>6795769
Why would they. All he does is getting them killed.

are there any large rivers nearby moving supplies by water would speed things up

>>6795738
God no. Keep Winston on post. The Frenchman will either come slithering back or he has a Frenchie place out in the boondocks to retreat to.

Just because we shot at him, doesn't mean he has anyplace out in the goddamn jungle left to go, unless its back toward the Frog Base One.

Forget about the Frenchman for now.

>>6795747 here.

I'll change my vote. I agree to send Winston on pursuit of the Frenchman to attempt to make up for his misdeeds.

>>6795763
no on winston, use this ore to replace the trucks as firepoints, get the trucks operational again

>>6795786
Ok, but I still think we'll pay for this later.

Alright, pursuit canceled by vote, anyways how do you want to expand and remember the silver will dry up eventually without dynamite digging and you are right next door to a lost city. also think about expansion. ORDERS?

order your own scout balloon

>>6795794
What?

>>6795797
crush winston's standing by this method>>6795745

>>6795763
No, no no, no no, and fucking no and no. Winston is a fucktard and he is no longer allowed to lead soldiers.

That said, the Frenchman is not worth a single British life. Even the life of someone like Winston.

You use the last of your metal and sandbags in order to replace the rucks as bases for your 4 watchtowers. other ORDERS?

>>6795802
stay the fuck away from the city until we get more trucks and machine guns

expand outward, follow the anon who propsed the sawmill

is there a river nearby?

>>6795802
If we have excess labor, then perhaps these same folks could bring raw stone out and build fortifications and buildings with the rock from the mine.

Alternatively, and really better yet, we should be carefully burning that goddamn jungle down into dust to open our lines of fire!

>>6795802

Is there any way to have the miners branch out in an attempt to find saltpeter to use as an explosive?

I suggest a small party of five rifleman, three workers for digging, and one expert for lore go to examine the lost city. If it's proven safe, send Godfried to make a report to send back to the Empire in the hopes of upping our reputation and perhaps getting some frigging dynamite for excavation.

I think we should consider exploring the lost city. But no way Winston gets to leand the scouting party.

>>6795819
farms and sawmill, expand, wait for the next caravan with GUNS to push any deeper, use some of your gunpowder for farming, talk to your experts about any other veins/methods for mining the current mine

You start building a sawmill with the jungle wood, but progress is slow. FIVE French balloons appeared in the skies today, what flag (s) do you run out, do you shoot at any of them. From Godfried's suggestion, you lock Winston indoors so he doesnt do something stupid

hire some veteren mercs for expert scouting

make mud bricks
brick
brick
brick
brick
brick

Crisis time guys, common dont fail me now anon

>>6795842
*mining
not farming haha

>>6795846

Don't shoot the balloons. Remain isolationist for now, don't signal the french; keep the men on the listen for explosions or mining activity to see if the French might have anything worth trading for. Otherwise it's not worth exposing ourselves this early.

>>6795861
union jack AND company flag, play your horn loud, signal to them, hide your soldiers

>>6795846
5 of them? I raise the Union Jack and I have an arrow pointed towards their little section of Africa incase they are lost.

Three of the balloons start drifting towards your location, one of them as if to land. What flags do you run out, do you shoot or greet?

dont shoot, whatever you do, dont shoot

>>6795879

Union Jack, company flag, greet them.

greet if they question about shooting at thier man say you were shooting at natives try and orgnise trade

>>6795879
men to their posts, dont shoot unless the french appear overly suspicious, force the french to land jsut outside your camp

One of the balloons, with the man who you shot at last night, is trying to land on your outskirts of your second ring. You run out the Union jack and the company flag. One of the frenchmen in the balloons overhead takes a potshot at the company flag but not at the union jack.

keep an eye out for explosives from the sky, train your gats, but dont fire, greet them yourself, winston is still in time out

>>6795906

Respond with a warning shot. Make it clear we are interested in civil discourse but such tomfoolery in the bounds of our camp will not be tolerated.

>>6795906
dont fire back yet, but load your weapons, and raise the middle finger of the british empire

the man who winston shot at steps out of his balloon and ties it down to a tent stake. He greets you in perfect american english and says how do you do partner. How do you respond?

>>6795906
wave wildly at them! and encourage the Frenchman to land!

If the Company Flag is the issue take it down temporarily and have my riflemen prepared to throw this pussy fucking frog into the mud and arrest his ass!

But let him land!

>>6795923
no escalation though

>>6795932

Ask if his camp has explosives. Say you have a small shipment of silver coming soon and you might be interested in trading for it. Don't let the french know you're sitting on a mine.

>>6795932
greet him yourself, order your men to stand down, but remain at their posts, invite him into your HQ, he can bring a few men, but the majority must remain on the outer rings

>>6795932
dont mention the city
nor your mine

>>6795932
Lets communicate, I hopefully have a man that speaks french.

I keep the violence-hungry soldiers at bay untill I figure out what is happening.

>>6795932
>american

Kill him outright, you do them a favor.

He laughs when he passes winston locked inside the barracks and greets you. He says that he is just a leader of a peaceful band of explorers heading towards the city. He says I want a 50 percent cut of your mine then starts walking back towards his balloon.

>>6795958

Have the men take him hostage immediately. If he knows about the mine then something is up ,and there's no way the frogs are getting 50 percent of anything.

>>6795958


Shoot that fucker in the back.

>>6795932
inquire as to any native allies that they have, also, be inquisitive, he will be hiding shit from you

confirm taking hostage/ shooting in the back? need more replies

>>6795958
Balloon, on fire, that bastard inside it.

>>6795958
>american english
>peaceful band of explorers
LIARR

>>6795958
I ask him to stop for a moment to discuss things and remind him whos land he is standing on .

THE FUCKING QUEEN'S LAND.

Arrest him, with force, if he so much as draws a leg over the basket.

is there nearby british garrisons that would help againts the french?

>>6795975
hostage, dont kill him yet, obv an american twat masquerading as a frog

they arent actually french, prob american con men

>>6795975
This is serious business, dear sir.

You take him hostage, and the balloons in the air see that he has not returned. One of them pulls a flare gun and fires it straight into the sky above your camp. the balloons start pulling away. One of them fires at and makes explode the landed balloon. You just lost the start of your sawmill from fire. Crisis over. What do you want to do with the American?

bump for lifezzzzzzzzzzz

>>6796010
SET LOOSE THE WINSTON

also get them gats ready, they can easily dispose of anymore faggy ballons

>>6796010

Interrogate him. Torture him if necessary. Afterwards, cripple him so he can't cause trouble but keep him around. You never know when you might need to negotiate with his buddies, or offer the natives collateral.

how many days until our shipment comes in? rebuild the sawmill outta brick when it comes

>>6796010
the americans are prob allied with the 2nd tribe that winston encountered at the city, soldiers get back into their game

You interrogate him and torture him. He is the representative from a French Gold/gem mining company. He wont tell you anything else, so winston beats him until he is almost dead. Next shipment in 3 days.

How are our fortifications? Do we need to put punji sticks all over the goddamn place?

>>6796064
let him live, order your general to focus on defense, just a competing company, we aint dealing with a hostile foreign power. also, break his legs, i dont want any more of that rambo shit he pulled earlier

>>6796072
nah we go barbed wire, but build some traps out in the woods

Alright, this thread is just tooooo long for my comp, so im wrapping it. Imma start a new thread in like five seconds so dont run away. Someone PLSPLSPLS suptg this . PSLPSLSPLS

Someone pls post the suptg link when on this thread when its done, i wont leave till then.

>>6796093
coo, post a link to it on this thread so we can find it

>>6796064
Thats it? I confine The Winston and put some of the experts to to make sure the Frenchman doesn't die.

A mining company? Well they have something awful waiting for them.

is there any other british settlements/garisons you could make contact with they would not be happy with french aggression

you start the new thread??
