In general fine though slightly annoyed (that's Dutch for "extremely pissed off") by the stupidity and selfishness of some people who apparently can't wait a few more weeks until the vaccination campaign wraps up, and go out to parties or on holidays and expose themselves and then others. So far my one-physical-handshake contacts still contain only one infected person (and he got better), but the number of infected people that are two handshakes away is increasing rapidly -_-

Going to be a beautiful day.

Last call for all member states to vote in the League regarding the proposed amendments by the delegate from the Union of Thromsa. Once the amendment is passed, the voting period for Resolution No. 22 shall commence in the soonest time.

I've started creating the graphics for the following armoured vehicle; but I'm holding back on the development story until I can get some more international backers.

Looking for two or three interested parties to help finance, develop and adopt the vehicle:

L-55 'Vantage' MRV
Modular Reconnaissance Vehicle for the 21st Century

The Verhun 'Vantage', is a medium, modular, advanced, tracked combat vehicle
vehicle developed by Verhun Defence Systems. It is seen as the direct successor to the L-34

Variants

Unlike previous vehicles developed by Verhun Defence Systems, the L-55 Vantage has its developments and variants divided into four "Blocks". Block One includes the Reconnaissance and Recovery/Repair types. Block Two includes Armoured Personnel carrier, Anti-Tank and Anti-Air vehicles. Block Three focuses on the heavier vehicles; the Logistics Carrier, Ambulance, Command and Bridge Laying vehicles. Block Four focuses on the 'Medium Armour', namely the Direct-Fire and Indirect-Fire/Mortar variants. The development was separated into blocks to allow for different teams within Verhun to focus on their designated designs; whilst all still be cross-compatible with each other.

It's based on the ASCOD/Scout SV (AJAX) development - so it would have started in the late 90s/early 00s.
WIP image is in the Discord. TIA.

4/20 is only 1/5; there remains a lot of room for improvement.

Remember the day after 4/20 is Surprise Drug Test Day

Update of the map of Gael (following today's map of TWI update) : http://dulminis.nl/nhoor/gael.png

There are now cities in some nations. Where there are only black dots, I found cities but not how large they are. Seas now have names.
Lesva and Albeuve have been added to the map; if you want to give me stuff to add, feel free to TG me (that applies to Belantica and Thromsa as well, and for everyone else on the map who wishes to add things).
