How do I get in on some ethnic cleansing? Will there be rules for that?
To empireman,
I meant to say the map would be global, I just mean that it would be oriented more to Asia as opposed to Europe(as it is in WWII global A&A). And instead of the US being split down the middle, the Atlantic would be split. like this
Also, Brazil should be a 6th power on the Russian/Chinese side, giving the US an enemy in South America. The Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran are at each others throats( not to mention Israel and Iran) so the Middle East would not be its own power. Iran/Syria would be pro-Russia/Chinese, Israel/Saudi Arabia/gulf states would be pro-American. The EU is fractured politically aswell, by 2015 many countries may have left the Euro-zone weakening the EU further. I don’t think they would pick a side to join as a whole, some would be pro-American others would join be pro-Russia.
I like your thoughts, but a brazil power would only collect like 4 ipcs, and have a weak army. So, i think a game like this should have diplomacy and have a National Objective for RU or China for swaying Brazil, Argentine, and othe S. american nations to join them.
And, maybe Iran should be a power? And maybe EU would bejust Germany, France, Italy and UK? Tell me your thoughts on this.
Iran could be a player, but Brazil would have a higher IPC value than Iran, and what makes you think Brazil has a weak military? For Europe, what if France was made a player, UK was controlled by US, Germany would be pro-Russia and Italy pro-US/France? I suppose I feel Europe is more split politically than you do.
here are some stats on military spending

So now it is the lawyer’s turn!
Philippines 'to take South China Sea row to court
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21137144
Nice to see civilized nations going to court rather than war.
Again, just a bit of saber rattling but it is setting records for volume levels every few months.
Japan says it may release evidence to prove a Chinese naval frigate locked its fire-control radar onto a Japanese ship near disputed islands.
Thank you.
Well not exactly the south china sea near the phillipines but still along the same concept. China is slowly starting to exert military muscles and sooner or later its going to end up in a clash….
Japan urges airlines to disregard China air zone rules
Morning Malachi. Always good to get your news updates.
Especially when they are so topical to our games! Thank you.
Hi rjpeters. Nice to hear from you.
Hope you have been well.
Maddy is enjoying school. Restaurant is still busy, but I am only open four nights, so I have a lot of free time.
We are all well, thank you. Very happy to hear your news. Very happy.
Enjoy your holiday.

You think that’s good?
I like this one.
Especially this quote:
“The official said the flight was a training mission and the bombers were not armed.”
LOL… Why not fly B-52’s over Beijing? and dive at government/military buildings and installations? After all, it’s just harmless unarmed training missions.
Thanks Garg.
I love that line: China deploys its only Aircraft Carrier.
Why didn’t they buy fewer Inf and Tanks when it was the last Purchase Phase?
The Chinese player messed up there!
Well no actually they lied and tricked Turkey telling them they wanted to make a floating Casino ( in order to sail out of the Black Sea), and because they are so pathetic put spit polish and patched it up with Chinese drywall. No MSG!
South Korea announces expanded air defence zone
South Korea has announced it is expanding its air defence zone, which will now partially overlap with a similar zone announced by China.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25288268
I wonder when China will fly planes through their zones as Japan, Korea and the US have flown through Chinas unannounced?
I suspect so.
Thank you for the news.
It’s times like this when you realize just how much of a newb China is when it comes to FP.
The mighty Nippon Koku shall are not frightened of this young Dragon. Abe has gloriousy announced the creation of the Japanese amphibious assault force, post-war constitution be damned! Tenno heika banzai!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25414430
@rjpeters70:
Keep in mind, the last time the Chinese fought a conflict was 1979. Meaning nobody in their military, aside from the most senior military officers who were junior officers at the time, has seen action.
Their civilian political leadership has not managed an international security crisis, apart from the 95-96 Taiwan Straights crisis, and the 2001 P-3 crisis. Both of which they unneccesarily provoked and then botched…
Keep in mind that China can also burn through 100 MILLION casualties, without batting an eye, and can also operate on
a “throw bodies on the fire to make it work” level.
The west does not have either privilege.
100 million men? Meh. 100 million mens worth of military hardware and logistics? I would bat my eyelids like a schoolgirl at the quarterback. Also, “The West” gets worst Korea, Nippon, ROC, and possibly Vietnam and India.
China can talk the talk, but she can’t walk the walk just yet. And she can only militarize so much before everyone else reacts against her.
