The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

We might have to Aegon, considering we're losing like half our players.

The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

Well I might as well end this since everybody seems to be dropping out anyway, shiiiiiit.

The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

We had a West Germany player. He dropped out I think. That sucks for me :(. Oh well. I have plenty of other players to interact with, being in Europe.

And wow, long enough post for Brazil, haha. xD

We expect this to be a long running game, right? (Taking a short break after four hours of HW on top of a (so far) 20 hour day.)

Yep. We started in 1950 so I'd imagine it'll continue well into the later decades.

Very well. I'll most likely get something set up for Cuba, kind of timeskipping to the beginning months of the Cuban revolution. The only part of the Cold War that really interested me was the Cuban missile crisis (due to Canada's involvement), so I'll see if I can get some interestingly tense RP going.

Really? I have huge interest in the Cold War, particularly the stuff behind the Iron Curtain ;).

I completely understand where you're coming from on that. But if you look into the tense moments surrounding the Missile Crisis, basically the decisions made in those days by both the NATO countries and the Kremlin prevented nuclear war at a point where both sides could've justified starting it. I suppose I've never read extensively into the other aspects of the Cold War, but this event has always grabbed my attention. And when it comes to Canada's involvement, it shows how unsure of its political position Canada was in those decades, Prime Minister Diefenbaker actually turning Canada's back on the United States and favoring the neutral "peacekeeper" status. Sorry if I sounded idiotic with that vague statement earlier.Edit: I've posted my Nation Sheet on the thread already, but I'm not quite sure if I should've waited to be accepted to roleplay as that nation first. Or can I hop right into the roleplay and begin posting?

It's fine. I'm not asking for much and you filled it out so you're good to go.

Omg I missed a lot when I was away. To the person who asked, yes you can play Cuba having its revolution since that actually happened. However, you could also choose for it not to have its revolution or have it fail. It's up to you since it's post-1950. For example, I'm East Germany and depending on how things play out maybe the wall won't even end up going up.

As for the other question, for now I'd like if people just count their active troops. Reserves are not as relevant right now.

I honestly think we should just RP out wars and figure out what happens with realism in mind.

That has a lot of potential for metagaming, powerplaying, etc.

Isn't this alternate history? Whatever happens in real life doesn't apply here I think. (except real people's deaths, I think)

It's alternate history, but that doesn't mean just going and doing whatever you want. We need to keep some sense of realism and realistically, neither NATO nor the Warsaw Pact is going to let any of their countries go.
