The best brains in the bludgeoning business brought together to build even better bludgeons for our boys in blue...er, green!

During the Crystal War, all nations regularly carried out polls on the military policy of the day. The information gathered was used to discern various points of contention among military leaders and strategists, such as geographic locations for spearheading offensives, battle tactics for engaging specific enemies, etc. The results of these assessments would be tallied on a weekly basis, with the prevalent opinions and views being implemented in the following week's military planning for campaign battles and Campaign Ops.
