[OOC] World in Revolution: 1861

[Pasta Sentient]

Looks like it. This is gonna be rough for public opinion in the UK. I think I might need to make one of my orders a rhetoric campaign...

[thorgili]

Well let's see the sides I am expecting it to be the the US Russia Prussia versus the CSA French and the British good God

[Byrd Man]

I don't know all this talk about world war. I'm just trying to save my country, man. I'll let all you royals play your war games.

@Aegon; good question. No, neither side has openly declared war on each other yet. But it will happen.

That's a no to war actions, but if I want to still do military-centric actions can I use my regular actions?

[Outcast]

@Pasta; honestly, mate, I have no idea where any of your troops are. I'm pretty sure you are the first person in the history of WiR to ever ask that question. Just assume a large number of them are in the colonies, particularly India, but most of them are in the Home Islands. Same with the Royal Navy.

@Aegon; yes, you may.

[Pasta Sentient]

@Outcast; Alright then. Considering that...I'll need to send you a new list of Orders then probably soon. I'll have them in before Wednesday, but just ignore the current orders if you will.

[thorgili]

Hmm I have most of the orders ready but wish to allow the world war to break out before enacting anything aside from the emancipation of the serfs

I could be of some help. I will track down British deployments.

[Pasta Sentient]

@So Boerd. THanks. I would appreciate that. If there is a site or something that would help with that just let me know. Like, if all else fails I could just assume like Outcast said. But I would prefer historical accuracy.

[Giant]

Well, holy shit. I scored high. I hope that goes down as a military feat. Time to reconquer the rest of the country from those pesky Liberals.
And responded to your PM, Rare. Also, Byrd Man, I sent you one a while ago.

I'm bloody happy that the Battle of Bogotá actually got mentioned, too, given that we are pretty minor compared to other conflicts.

[AegonVI]

Sent in my orders!! Hope they all go swimmingly... Kinda sad I have to use one to move my capital city (I made an interesting choice, I think, so look out)...

EDIT: @Rare, is that ALL Americans? Including Confederates?

[Rare]

Yes, that is what I mean by all Americans including the confederates, that don't want to fire the war.

[So Boerd]

The brits have 4,000 troops in Canada on the onset of the civil war. From the "Military History of Canada" wiki page.

[Pasta Sentient]

@So Boerd. Graci! That's something at least. Haha. Need to look at our Navy...

Edit: This is too much fun and is keeping me up too late. I'll respond when I can tomorrow after work. God speed.

[So Boerd]

3000 Brits in South Africa on the onset of the Boer war. I would imagine the majority of the British troops are in India considering the enormous revolt that just happened four years earlier. Working on finding numbers for that. I will assume the Indian Army, composed of natives, counts more as reserves than regulars, otherwise Britain would only have a few thousand troops at home and the Indian army wasn't close to British regular standards.

[Rare]

Can I change my orders this one time, please Outcast?

[So Boerd]

Found it! On the British Raj Wikipedia page, 84,000 British troops in India this very year.

[So Boerd]

3000 troops in Australia, only one regiment, from "List of British Regiments in Australia" Wikipedia page. Working on navy now. The soldiers add up to 94,000, so let's call it a nice, even hundred thousand colonial troops? There are too many colonies that are obscure to do a better count.

Add summary: Yay, nay?
