OOC- Why don't you just say that? Well, perhaps because if you said that, it'd make no sense, where as what I've said, as I've already explained, does. More so than your 2km-deep combat submarines, I suspect. Kargrazia's military, as I've also essentially said and will now elaborate, is based for the most part on, so far as reasonably possible, averaging out the relative strengths of Soviet, Albanian, and North Korean forces and scaling up per relative population until Kargrazia's current condition is reached. Except Kargrazia does without all of the Soviet's vast array of nuclear vessels and all surface combattants bigger than Burevestnik/Krivak Class frigates (which, as the biggest and best in the fleet, comprise only 1/3rd of the frigate force) and with them all fixed-wing naval aviation, without the strategic bombers, without the thermonuclear arsenal, and Kargrazia in 2010 is taking these cues from the 70s and 80s in the Soviet and Albanian cases and the modern day in NK's (when its foreign support has dried up), and making do with mostly the same technology that similar economies IRL had decades ago. In short, I have if anything tended to err on the side of caution, and so for you to make lame sarcastic remarks about 'billion trillions' in an ill-considered attempt to make me seem to be somehow cheating is all the more ridiculous and somewhat insulting, hence any abrasiveness of tone you may be detecting on my part.
But then after having done that, you did 'Let pass' other things, didn't you? How condescendingly super of you! Retroactive, you say? It'd be nice if you didn't make things up on behalf of other players. I announced that Kargrazia was deploying submarines. That's what it was doing. Deploying submarines on missions to lay minefields, and then deploying more to transport men and equipment on a small up-front scale with a long-term timetable. In future before posting such apparently-snide jibes, ask yourself a relevant question, in this case, 'did Kargrazia say that the minefields have already been laid and the men already arrived?' Then, when you realise that the answer is, 'no', consider instead not accusing him of retroactive action.
