Thanks. If you can link it, I'd appreciate it. I was unable to find exact, or just overall numbers and deployments when I searched for it. If you can link the troop deployments, please do so.

I responded. I admit it's rather brief, but I still think the intervention can be worked out soon, especially once I get more military numbers and look into how this will effect the Soviet economy.

Ah you've returned.

The mere act of the license to AK-47s is a game changer. Pipe guns? Zip guns? WW2-era Błyskawicas? No more! Now we have state-of-the-art Soviet technology! I mean, we still have to make it ourselves, but it's a plus either way.

Licensing does help if you don’t have factories...

We do have factories, just less than the West.

Yeah but do you know how reliable an AK-47 is compared to an M16, let alone a pen gun?

Population:17,000,000
Faction: Technically allied with NATO, odd history with Britain
History: Argentina remained a neutral nation after the second world war, but grew closely allied with America when a small dispatch of the 101st Airborne stopped an Argentine coup in 1946. In turn for America training Argentine troops and supplying tech, Perón allowed the USA to station troops in Argentina(only in times of war) and supplied the Americans with resources. However, Argentina has a tense relationship with Britain due to the latter's possession of the Malvinas Islands. Despite this, Perón chooses to ally himself with NATO to avoid any Soviet influence in his nation.[/box]

The Allies' vision is based on movement, probably.

Country Name: Officially: Greater Germanic Reich of the German Nation
Unofficially: Nazi Austria, Austria, Festung Ostmark, the Alpine Redoubt
Head of State/Government: Reichspräsident (Head of State): Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler
Reichskanzler (Head of Government): Joseph Goebbels
Reichsminister of War: Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring
Chief of the OKW: Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel
Type of Government: Despotic totalitarian Nazi military junta
Capital: Graz
Map/location: Basically modern-day Austria and South Tyrol minus the American Occupation Zone
Population: 7,100,000
Faction: None
History: Festung Ostmark has its origins in Heinrich Himmler’s machinations as it became increasingly clear that Germany was going to lose the war. He diverted resources, men, and supplies to work on fortifying Austria into a fortress from which to keep fighting the war long after Berlin fell. Eventually, of course, Berlin did fall, and with it went Hitler. The initial arrangement was Karl Dönitz as Reichspräsident and Joseph Goebbels as Reichskanzler, the latter having barely escaped Berlin. When it became clear Dönitz- being reasonably sensible and knowing trying to fight at this point was a lost cause at best- intended to surrender, Goebbels fled and made his way down south where Himmler was consolidating his power. Göring- fearing his capture- also fled to Austria. A final American offensive penetrated into Austria itself, taking with it most of Upper Austria, before Dönitz’s Flensburg government surrendered unconditionally, bringing with it the official end of the war in Europe.

Many German troops in Austria deserted to surrender to the Allies, but a good chunk rallied behind the remaining top cronies of Nazi leadership- mostly because the SS was holding a gun to their back. Further Allied offensives into the fortress Austria had become were considered too costly, and abandoned in favor of simply waiting for the remaining Nazis to starve as a way to save blood and bullets.

Four years later, that plan is finally coming to fruition, the last bastion of oppression in Europe starting to suffer from shortages of several major resources, most notable petrol. With this, two distinct schools of thought have started to emerge. Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Göring- despite hating each other personally and constantly battling for influence- support a peace arrangement with the Western Allies, especially with the Cold War shifting the Americans’ ire to communism, while Joseph Goebbels leads a small cabal of increasingly deluded personnel that continue to preach that a total war against all the enemies of Germany is the best way forward, and somehow a victory against all of the former Allies is still possible.

True, the AK is more reliable, but it's also an unwieldy bitch of a gun that can barely be aimed in semi-automatic mode. Also you're a spread out African rebel faction right, where the hell are your factories. A large part of Africa is still industrialized today, much less in 49'. You're spread out over an area larger than the continental US, even more so if you're fighting in egypt. Most of that area is untouched wildland that modern armies have trouble fighting in.
