Macro-Tactics, Monday

"Good morning," Kerrigan began, shooting an irritated glance around the class. "Most of you were absent last week. I'm sure that as a mitigating factor, you'll suggest the invasion and the fact that all of you came out alive--" Try to sound even less impressed, Kerrigan. "--but the honest truth is that I don't care. You will be tested on last week's material."

She had a stack of tests lying next to her on the desk. "You have the full hour to answer all of these questions," she said. "Be as comprehensive as you can be. Use your own home situation as the basis of every case, unless you don't have a home, in which case I suggest you use the United States', seeing as how that's where we're based."

"Any questions?" She didn't wait for questions. "Good. Get writing."

Take the Final -- Q1

1. Consider your budget an even 100%. What percentage of it would you spend on what, in terms of vehicle procurement, maintenance, troop care, R&D, and like fields? Feel free to be as detailed about the direction of your plans as you feel you have to be.

This question, Karla answered two ways. The first was if she only had the resources of Kaeleer at her disposal, which meant the majority of her funds went into troop care and maintenance, along with a bit left over for things like bribes for the Arcerians to help defend her borders and Coaches for troop deployment. As the darkest Jeweled witch in Terreille, her troops could use a faster Wind than Hobart's troops and hopefully keep their advantage that way.

However, if Karla had access to worlds outside of Kaeleer, then things changed. Now most of her resources went to alliances and tech from other worlds. Even something so simple as handguns drastically changed the face of warfare, never mind weapons more complicated than that.

James made a list, allocating the best as he could recall to mimic the Kingdom's disbursement, remembering some documents Arutha had to sign. He had about a tenth of the budget spent towards defense, with half spent to train new troops, keep troops fed & housed, and on weapons and armor for the armies.
