Blaynes militia were the only reason Russia was not annexed in the opening months of the switch. Don't underestimate the value of warm bodies.

No it was actually becouse the enemy had not build troops that 700+600 IC would require. The first session of russian war was such mess becouse the militia and the few 36' Infantry lost all battles they engaged, and it took long for african units to get to the positions. Also most of the russian troops were not in any actual position they should have been for such sudden switch.
As for the peace, In retrospective, We could have won better peace
And cruel irony is that we orginally intended to demand France from Germany as well... But I honestly forgot to add it to the list of terms that fivoin asked from me. And since the reduced terms were acceptable to him, I knew I couldn't have add such huge contignent to it anymore.Had the session been played in War, I think we would have managed to bring the actuall frontline there where the current peace-borderline is.
But it was a game of changes. I wouldn't say that anyone lost that bad. Perhaps Japan...
No, not Japan, either. We were planning to impose a much harsher peace. (Did you know I had marines on the way to land on the undefended beaches of one of the home islands?) Part of the reason for the peace's harshness was Falador's repeated side-switching. The peace with G is much more conducive to future friendship.
I've yet even counted
Well back when Japan first was subbed by Migthy, he left it (by his own words) into pretty good shape in defensive wise. Falador played one session after that, and got beated up pretty bad and apparently managed mess everything mighty had set for it and propably disobeyed every instruction he gave to Flaabor.
Afrer Faildor annouced his absence and we had to put migthy as subbing japan, the first words of him after checking the save was: "f*ck no Im gonna clean up that mess"
So falabob brought all this upon himself. After the regime have changed and the war is over, I can quite easily confess that africans had no plans to get blackmailed by Japanese annexation, if things would have come to it. The longer japan fougth and died, the better it was for us, and what ever would have been left of japan would have been irrelevant anyways if it would have give us all of germany.
Naturally the player switch made things more complicated, and we had to seek some sort of middle way in regarding the bigger picture and actually paying attention to save japan.
But Japan still suffered lot more than Germans did. Germany is still 600 IC powerhouse, even with the disarmament clauses. The future will show, can new friednships be forged between nations that had just fougth each others and took concessions.
You guys can't be that far off from the '43 militia upgrade (which is one of the best upgrades in the entire tech tree).
Panzerfausts ahoy!

But when they have naval superiority and only side sofar actually conducting offensive landings (against defended beaches) is Ethiopia, something is done wrong in that regard
I have to admit my hat is off to Jodokus here. The Solomonid Navy has an honorable and ancient tradition, and he clearly did it proud.
I mean, I saw the state of the fleet last time I co-oped Ethiopia. Barely anything left floating. Zero capital ships left. Ships still floating are universally damaged and/or obsolete.
And floating is a generous term. It was probably less that they were floating, and more that they weren't yet sinking faster than they could be bailed out.
To take that fleet and launch a successful amphibious invasion right in the teeth of the world's two strongest naval powers... (I'm pretty sure Germany and Cata had more carriers than the rest of the world put together had all types of capital ship put together)... it must have been their finest hour.
At least one last time, ETHIOPIA RULES THE WAVES!

Precisely, with Guerrilla warfare doctrine as well. Mine will have some 5 hard attack, making armor ineffective.
Maybe you forgot I was subbing that session on my laptop for Russia. The majority of the African armies took weeks to get into position. The bulk of the Russian armies were expected to not be there for sometime as they were being redeployed. Which left litterally the milita on vov, of which several held down key what few russian vps he had. I believe at one point russia was down to just 2 vp, one of which was immediately being threatened...No it was actually becouse the enemy had not build troops that 700+600 IC would require.

Well, there's clearly only one way to settle this. If everyone else is willing to stay out of it, I'm happy to challenge Blayne to a 1vs1, mano a mano, fight to the death. No allies, no geopolitics, just a plain land war in Asia with General Winter as arbiter!
but then punjab will feel left out why not just make it a 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1? everyone can have some fun then.
No alliances just CHAOS!

I forget what the system is called but one where A attacks B, B attacks C, C attacks D and so on until the last letter attacks A (replace letters with nations), that way we get very interesting situation by the end
Hi. My name is Oddman, and I endorse this message.
If the Africans agree, I am willing to help make this happen.
I'm sure the war could last decades, though.
For it!
dano, placing a bet? what are the odds you offer?
by the way, do you mean a Mexican Standoff?
i see your sneaky plan to get your allies to send you free units
oeh sharp mark.
I would accept that bet under the condition that it was GM enforced, no one could attack either me or KoM during that duration, and cannot end or be peaced until one annexes the other.
..hmmm.. : and you cannot attack others, nor join a war on any other side? -leaving your alliances, are you?
..That'll also mean you two could be safe from the ragnoarok of mutual nuclear destruction, if your war drags on...

I vote aye. This mano a mano fight to the death can only end up awesome, with the victor looming above Punjab and Japan as the future dominator of Asia. Also I can't wait to see what trick KoM has up his sleeve. Blayne has the upper hand if you just take into account information that is public, but if KoM thinks he can take him...
