@Invictus yes...so let me get this straight: we are at totally opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, are already inclined to be hostile to each other ('Heretic!' 'Counter-revolutionary!'), are competing with each other internationally because we both produce goods, and furthermore I think we have the groundwork of a national feud between us...

Yes it does seem to create yet another feud within my neighbors. I was really hoping that some other people would create similar religions or I should have taken a slightly larger piece of land because everyone is against my people.

But mechs cannot take recoil as well as tanks, which means that your aspirations for mechs to be these self-propelled anti-tank turrets aren't founded in reality. If you are going to factor that they can trip over often enough that you need to make specific technology just to get them back on their feet, what is the point? Why go up stairs with a mech when you could have a squad of men do it better? Why even go up mountainous terrain with a mech when you could ride up it with a powerful tank? Why go over barricades when you could smash through them, giving you an even bigger advantage.Tanks are more mobile, easier to get a crew into, easier to hide, can have bigger guns, and can have more armor.Tanks better, man.

Ahh, but you see my Mechs aren't going to be anything like they are tanks, mine are more of troop transport, small runners/quad legged scouting machines, and mortars. You can bust things down with tanks and send squads up hills, but I can send a heavy mortar to climb over a small mountain and start raining hell down on the battlefield from the protection of the other side (given I have spotters with sight).
