We sorely need a France.

I really do need an active UK though. Without it, being Ireland would grow rather dull. Right now the Parliament is about to declare the Republic, but by September things get more interesting.

I agree with the UK. They're my only land-neighbours.

I'm guessing it's IRA related?

Oh yeah, I still don't like it though, it's not new to me, but hey who am I to complain?

I wouldn't be confident they could actually win anyways, they are like the Soviet Union, correct? The Soviet Union couldn't defeat Afghanistan, so I would be pretty confident with a guerrilla war with the Slavic Union

The event isn't exactly date-related, I just chose the month because I didn't want to have to wait until the 60s to do anything. There were some skirmishes between loyalist and IRA forces between 1945-1950 though.

Except the Soviets pretty much won the war...

By the way, let's look at the opening part of their exit strategy:

"The first step of the Soviet Union's exit strategy was to transfer the burden of fighting the mujahideen to the Afghan armed forces, with the aim of preparing them to operate without Soviet help."

That sounds familiar...

Yeah, but you're not facing just the USR, but Xinjiangi and hopefully Iranian troops as well.

Trans, what is going to be your inactivity policy? There are many nations who have not posted yet.

Also, time. How does it work?

by **Arumdaum** » Sun Aug 11, 2013 9:30 am

Can I see the taken nations and their players, or is that the "reserved nations" in the OP?

No, they've only massacred hundreds of thousands of Koreans thus far.

Is this from real life? Because I'm pretty sure that the Japanese government didn't massacre hundreds of thousands of Koreans, although a considerable number was indeed massacred, especially during the March 1st Movement.

unless that was just a hyperbole then this is useless

The border campaign as the IRA call it.

Well, I don't think it will be that drastic, at least not at the beginning. It all depends on the British reaction.
