Mmmm, i don't really think a civil war would be a good idea.
I mean how do you imagine it? commies vs cappies? commies vs fascists? Since nationalism and communism in Russia are steadily becoming almost the same thing (which is strange, but anyway :wacko: ), left-right battle is not likely to occure. And since cappies haven't got a single seat in the parliament in the previous elections, war with cappies is also not likely to be waged.
Claiming Belorus is ok, since Russia and Belorus already have already agreed on unification in near future, but Kazachstan should be a problem i guess. As far as I know U.S. has its troops in the area, and is not going to let Kazachstan disappear from the map that easily. Georgia, since in HoI it is represented with just 2 provinces, how would you imagine Russia taking Osetija / Abkhazija / Adzharija?
Making Russia take any more territory is a suicide as it will lead to immidiate war with NATO.
I mean, when you do those war declaration triggers, don't just increase warentry value for U.S., better have NATO declaring war right away.
So, instead of territory taking triggers, i suggest you make some of the army reformation, because with the kind of army Russia has today, it would not be able to defeat even Saudi Arabia
And a little offtopic, but to the point: are you going to make U.S. have its troops all over the world and are you going to make trigers like "U.S. withdraws the majority of its armed forces from Western Europe"?
