Issue 52: Fears that the military may soon collapse has brought forth a number of people with numerous solutions.

-"We've got to stop this before we lose our greatest asset!" Says a rich banker and war-bond buyer, "We should double the army's funding! Give them the very best weapons and armor we can get our hands on! If we don't take action now, this disaster could destroy our very country."

-"We don't have the money for that!" Says another banker, carefully stashing his septims in a safe, "What we do have, however, is the manpower to bring us back to strength. A mandetory draft should do the trick, and while I'm sure our youth and women and elderly won't like being forced to get up and fight, we can just not give them the choice. We'll be having our enemies running over the hillside yet!"

-"Bah, consolidation is the key!" Says a reknown Imperial tactician, "We can't beat the enemy because we're spread out on so many fronts. Let the enemies move forward a bit and take one of our own cities. It'll be well worth it when we can garner our full power around our more important land, and I'm sure the moral boost of having more soldiers around would boost recruitment numbers."

-"It'll be hard, but we can still fight," Says a ragged and tired general just back from the front lines,"The battles are long and hard fought, but if we're just given a bit more time, I think we can hold the line. Not for long, maybe, but we can hold out just a little longer until conditions improve. I hope."
