Hey China is totally in on the moon base. I sent Gumpy a message to see if it is is possible and the cost. I figure we have like hundreds of icbms with working rocket parts we can use. The epic part of this is that the US is the one that provided money for us to fix the launch complex. It would be a thing of beauty to turn around and modify them into escape spacecraft and flee. Did they actually give us the money? If it is even possible we just drop everything but tank movement for the big assault and sink money into moon with whatever China gives us.

Guys I can not tell you how excited I am that maybe we can make a moon base.

OH SHIT. If we get this training base we can use it to pull candidates from across the world for the moon base! Besides all the Russians and Chinese obviously.

We got $4 this turn; they've said they're reconsidering foreign obligations after the Fort Knox theft, though.

I've thought of a fourth solution to our refugee problem; human test subjects.
Given the announced end of the game, I see no point in spending money on additional military units now. I'll probably spend the money on rebuilding our launch capability, and maybe antivirals for the refugees.
I think this turn we should issue a public health advisory for Russia, trading 1 infection for 1 terror, and grab heated infrastructure; combined this should reduce infection by 2, ideally taking it to 0 but if not at least keeping it below the stage where it gets announced while Jay hopefully publishes his paper. If anyone questions it, we say we're still uninfected because we knew Vodka was the cure to the plague all along, but no one asked.

Yes yes, it is good to have back-up plans to Operation: Moonraker.

So what do we call the moon base? Bulbasaur?

I told them that they did not have to pay the money they had previously offered, but that we would love their support for our resolution.

Honestly, we're not going to gain a ton from the resolution; just three firestarters and an infantry participating in the attack instead of holding the borders in Kazakhstan. But neither is there much point in the other resolution one day before the game ends.

3 more firestarters and an infantry in the attack is kind of a big deal, man.

TENTATIVE MILITARY ORDERS:
Move All Infantry in the part of Russia closest to Europe into Kazakhstan. Move Tank in the part of Russia closest to Europe into Kazakhstan. ($2)
BEGIN OPERATION: MOONRAKER Begin building Moon Rockets with China ($10) Select a cross section of the populace to rebuild humanity and man the moon base.(Also make sure there are seats for Russia and Chinese top officials.) Make sure there are food, oxygen, water, and energy sources.
Assign Agent to ensure everything goes to plan with Operation: Moonraker (Not sure how much $)
Total: $12.

I don't think agents cost money.
If the game weren't ending, I'd probably say we should concentrate on fighting, but as it is Moonraker is as good a way as any to go out.
