Cold War RP

[Adaptus]

I had an idea for a nice new RP. I was thinking Cold War style, something post-Long War. I was thinking it could be like the US and the USSR, where we have a large armes race between 2 alliances or pacts, say left-wing nations Vs Right-Wing nations, sort of NATO vs Warsaw Pact. Then, toward the end of a load of political tension we could have somthing to spark off a war between 2 large weapons powers. I was thinking of setting it at about Late 50's, when the arms races starts, and by the early 60's the war kicks off? how about it?

[Upper Strathyclyde]

Would we role play the actual nations? If so, dibs on Sweden

[Adaptus]

no, it's more of a Europa version of the Cold War.

[Upper Strathyclyde]

Cool. I am all for it.

[Secadores]

Being Catholic extremists, we will take arms against the Godless communists!

[Upper Strathyclyde]

I'll have my work cut out for me. And so will Rekamgil and the Rest of CIS. lol.

[Adaptus]

This is how i was thinking about setting it out.

 

The Long War has just ended, and Europa is split. A groups of Leftist, capatilist nations, are on one side, and a group of Rightist nations are on the other side. each group has a large influensial nation with is the main arms producer of each side. A bit like the US and USSR. after a while of each side trying to out gun eachother in a arms race, something happens between two of the lesser nations fromboth sides, a bit like Vietnem or Korea, which leads to a large 2 sided war between both the Capatist nations and the Socialist nations.

[Liberallandia]

yeah, have fun killing each other.

[Tagmatium Rules]

I'd have thought it'd be better in the 1970's to 1980's, because we've already got a war in the 1960's, albeit one which stopped after six pages.

[Upper Strathyclyde]

Lets make it 70's 80's, yeah. Much Cooler. What will the tech be then....

[Rekamgil]

Rekamgil, as a member of CIS, will participate also. Although, given our normal position, perhaps we ought to position ourselves outside the two main groups and attempt to keep the international scene from heating up too much...?

[Tagmatium Rules]

Lets make it 70's 80's, yeah. Much Cooler. What will the tech be then....

Plus, we could have stuff like the Roger Moore James Bonds or any other 1970s/80s thing.

[Karelia-Ivanovia]

Sounds nice.

 

Now, am i the only communist country in the region?

[Tagmatium Rules]

At the present, yes.

 

But Ide Jima used to be until the overthrow of it's Communist government late last year. Tagmatium was allied to the Communist government but is an enemy of the Capitalist government.

[Adaptus]

Fair enough, how about, political tensions start in the late 60's, then come mid 70's we have war?

 

Also, consering the side, we need a Capatilist, Right wing side, and a socialist/communist left wing side. lets call them, Capatilists, and Communists for now, and we could have a sort of cenral side, who sort of stay nutral.

 

so whos for what side? Back then, the Federation was a firm right wing nation. so i'll take the Capatilist side. and Vickers could be one of the big suppliers?

[Rekamgil]

Rekamgil is in the centre... neutral. This is also the stance of the Commonwealth of Independent States (the alliance curretnly between Rekamgil, Upper Stratyclyde, and Vocenae). So I expect that those two nations will also declare their "neutrality". Of course, the US and I are interested in participating in this RP... but as "central neutralists"... Correct US??? Vocenae?

[Emakera]

Emakera was finally turned into a country in the late 70?s, but i think we?re on it. Back then, Emakera was a Communist country, until a series of political and economical reforms in the late 80?s, and then the rise of a young Richard Haller to the Purple House. Since it happened peacefully, to these days communists and the government "get along".

 

EDIT: How about 70?s to Late 80?s/Early 90?s?

Edited February 19, 2006 by Chairman Ryth of Emakera (see edit history)

[Adaptus]

Ah, 90's is a bit to modern realy, what we need, is when the threats of mass invasion across Europe was the main thing, where every country was planning of a mechonized war in Germany. that would be cool.

[Karelia-Ivanovia]

Karelia-Ivanovia went communist in 1947 in a revolution, and has remained so ever since.

[Vocenae]

Consider Vocenae in as well, as part of the CIS.

 

I figure this is the easiest way for me to integrate myself onto the world scene, however, I'll only be able to post during the evening and late night.

[Orioni]

Perhaps you could create a communist alliance. Discuss it here a little more, and if you feel you've worked out a pretty decent proposal for an alliance, you could post it on the military board. Other members could always join you later.

[Upper Strathyclyde]

The US is indeed along side our comrades in Voc and Rekamgil. We are Central Neutralists. We hope to stave off the crazy people's from launching 99 luftballons

[Vocenae]

Yep, that's us, the potholes on the road to war.

[Adaptus]

Ok, so thats the nutrals sorted. What we should have is say, a communist bloc, lead by a major communist nations, back then, say for example, then a few other communists, say to take the role of the 2 waring countries, and so on. Also, smae for the capatilists, lead by a major capatilist of the time. Or rather then saying, lead by a major power, lets say influenced, by a major power.

[Haken]

I thought the Alliance and the League of the Treaty already had a cold war.
