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.

You folks are moving at a pace that I will absolutely NEVER be able to keep up with; both the IC an the OOC content. My real life is too damn busy for all this, plus I am in three or four other normal paced RPs. Although, if anyone has questions about how to organize an army, feel free to shoot me a PM. Or anything about militaries in general.

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.

That's one of the weirdest things I've ever heard anyone say.

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?

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.
