SOVIET STEEL II - The Red Rage Returns!

[curtsibling]

Well, they clog up the map, but why not?

The infantry are cannon-fodder anyway...

[rmsharpe]

I'm just talking about infantry specific to India, not moveable infantry for the Jihadists.

[curtsibling]

The only way to do that would be to drop the Centurion tank and using the slot to give the Idians an inf...

Whadya think?

[rmsharpe]

I'd get rid of the French trooper.

With the Swedish and Greek extra forces, the UDO has 4 types of infantry to choose from.

Edit: be back in a little bit. Need to get offline for a while.

[rmsharpe]

Whoops, seven types if you include the immobile British, French, and Germans that you can't build but already have.

[curtsibling]

LOL!

Somehow, I knew you would advocate eliminating the French trooper!



That said, he is the easiest to supplant with something new for another civ...

I will look into the possibilities...

[Art of War]

...what am I supposed to combat the "modern"-ish Soviet tanks (the T-72 or whatever it is) with? My T-48s are getting it handed to! The Red Menace is strong! Damn them!

[POTUS]

T-55.

[rmsharpe]

The reason for axing the French soldier is that the British troops are spread out to other places like India and the Reichswehr are unique because they'll make an early appearance. The French though just don't seem to have much gameplay significance. Replacing them with generic UDO infantry really shouldn't be a problem.

@rmsharpe:
I totally agree, dude.

I am in the process of making a unique Indian tech and unit...

I will ditch a superflous naval aero or sea tech and reload the new zip sometime on Saturday!

Stay tuned!

Here's how the world looks at the end September 1948 playing as the USSR:

Color Key

Red: under direct Soviet control.

Orange: under WARPAC control.

Green: Poland. Warsaw controlled by WARPAC, Gdansk by USSR.

Dark Green: Since this area is unoccupied except for by my units crossing there, it's under de facto Soviet control.

Purple: China (both Communist and Nationalist)

Brown areas are still part of the free world or controlled by jihadists.

Shanghai and Hong Kong have been taken by Soviet forces and will not be turned over to Mao's forces.

Hotspots


Alaska: Soviet forces will launch operations into Anchorage beginning in either October or November.

Athens: WARPAC forces are doing some heavy lifting against the Greeks, but once they've finished the dirty work, Soviet paratroopers based on Cyprus will fly in and take Athens for ourselves.

India. I'm pushing Soviet forces up downward to take control of the rest of India. The subcontinent will be under total Soviet control by the end of the year.

Libya: Soviet forces have taken Tobruk and will continue on to Tripoli, and all the way to Gibraltar where the North African Soviet armies will meet up with armies in Gibraltar.

Additional Notes

Except for Iceland and French Guiana, the UDO has no areas left.

Outside of that, I don't really have that much else planned. Eventually, I intend on getting to South America and Iceland to wipe out the rest of the UDO forces, after I take North America though.

By the time myself, China, and the WARPAC are left, I'll do some editing of the game and attack them both and conquer the world.

[Paul Hanson]

I was doing quite well as the UDO, until I foolishly traded something to the Western Democracies in exchange for "Anti-UDO Propaganda".

Aargh! Now I can't build any of my good units!

[GoPostal]

Curt, I received a message from the terrorist fresians threatening to raze my city. Surely you can make it Al-Queda, Ansar al-Islam, ETA, IRA, and Abu Sayyaf?

[POTUS]

Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO, etc.
