Yeah when I looked up the size of the forces I thought that adding that number of reservists would be considered over powering until I saw other nations with millions of soldiers. Maybe I should include those?


Heh, the big number of reservists (compared to the active frontline troops, anyway) is most likely due to compulsory service being in place there and all. As for whether to include them, that's up to you and what the rest of the players are doing. I think it'd be best for the rp if there was some standardized way to count the troops (i.e, everyone counts reserves or nobody does), to avoid confusion and claims of overpowering or whatnot, but that's just a suggestion. (Although not sure how much it matters in the end anyway, unless there's going to be war).

And okay, I will stop spamming now for realz, swear.
A'ight, if there's going to be a skip soon, I'll wait until then to do stuffs.
You reminded me that I still need to do a Moemon Nuzlocke.

Damn.

I'm well aware of all of these things. I made Kekkonen the leader since this RP is in fact alternate history; having alternate leaders has already been discussed a number of times. As for the military I've already clarified that I couldn't find precise information on the size of the FDF during the 50s so I went with the modern number and rounded it up (from 36,000ish to 40,000). Not really a big deal.


Fair enough on the president then; I saw no mention in the CS of it being there due to alternative history, so I assumed that was not the case. As for the modern numbers, I see you only counted the active frontline personnel, not the active reserves (so it was a case of counting strength a different way), as with active reserves taken into account it would still require an added 0.

But yeah, long as you know.

Going to stop spamming ye guys now.
Man, that list uses different numbering on some of the rules than the one I used (don't they all, though). But yeah, uh, 85 too.

As for the rp, is there gonna be a minor time skip or should I find a reason to get Hitomi out of her room?
Oh, yeah, it's early in the morning here, so I guess it hasn't passed midnight there. Eh. In the next 24 hours or so, then, if that's any better.
I'm just going to comment that if this takes place in 1950, Finland's president is not Urho Kekkonen, as he was elected in 1956 (Paasikivi is the president until then). Similarly, the military strength of 40,000 looks... strange. Even back in the Continuation War that only ended a few years prior to this rp, as well as in the Winter War before that, the military strength deployed was around ten times that number, if rounded up. Of course, with casualties and everything taken into account, the numbers did go down quite a bit afterwards - but not by that much. Unless you count military strength some different way.

Er, sorry for butting in, just felt the need to offer some corrections, since I planned to join earlier (realized that my time doesn't permit me to join in the end), and did a double take on that while reading through the CSes and all - especially on the president being wrong because that's easily looked up. Will be going now.
It's okay, you can go ahead and post. It'll take me a few hours before I can get started on my reply and all. I can totally justify Zahira being slow to react as always anyway, heh, so it's no problem.
Threaten with a sword? Oh mai, I see where this is going. Go for it.

Just woke up, and since Crim said he'd post today, I'll wait for him before going again.
Glad you liked it, guys! Am also really liking the cast so far.

As for how it things could get dark, well, I think I'll have some of my next post mention it more. 8P It's nothing grimdark or anything, though.
