So can I and everyone else in the Americas. We should start a Hemispheric defense alliance.

Err... No thanks.

At least a non-aggression pact?

[Anowa]

...

I don't think any modern nation has signed any... Mainly because not attacking foreign nations is the status quo nowadays.

Not like owning Sicily is incredibly nonstrategic unless Russia owns the Dardanelles. Nothing will get to Sicily in wartime and the island will end up surrendering before the warships even leave Sevastopol.

That assumes that the warships are stationed in Sevastopol. Using Sicily as a naval base could be extremely useful for Russia.

Also a good launching point for the mainland Italy

Then it leaves the Black Sea relatively undefended.

The strait would be blocked off and no supplies would get through from Russia proper anyways.

"Relatively" still allows for the use of air power, and the Black Sea is small enough, and Russia-surrounded enough that they can keep control of it. The Dardanelles work two ways, you can't get a battlegroup through their unmolested


Besides, you are assuming wartime. It's most useful in patrols and projection in peacetime.

Anowa, everything north of the Darien Gap is under my sphere of influence. Better not touch it.

A bit late, since you know, Panama. But You can do whatever with the rest.

What about Panama. You're not saying you actually annexed it, did you?
The country under USSOUTHCOMMAND? It's like saying you annexed Okinawa.

A poor way to think of it, putting many naval assets in a place that can be starved out is not wise.

The Player character he merged with owned it originally so ask them.

Well, it was under control of This guy right before I annexed it. So, apparently. Not like I'm gonna close the panama canal of all things.

The previous player and I agreed to keep all US bases and operations open so I assume that transfers.

Why is Mexico getting ignored by Cuba? We are an ally which mostly supported Cuba during the Cold War.

[Prolieum]

Given the extreme suddenness of the annexation, lack of any popular input, distance, and foreign assets there, it is perfectly reasonable to assume that Panama broke from the attempted union.

Idk but in reality Cuba is an NPC controlled by the U.K. Guy for the war.

True. That can add realism.

It's reminiscent of when Panama broke from Colombia back in the 19th century.

[Anowa]

Sure, they Panama can remain free.
