Ra1 had Ukraine. It makes good sense they're here.

And I know about Czechoslovakia and a number of those other points. I more referred to their current standing, but if you want to get picky enough that you resort to cold-war maps, so be it. The form is different, but the method is the same.

And Xeno, nobody would care if Yuri took the Isle of Wight. There's not a brain there to dominate. Same for the Isle of Man...

Ireland can be Soviet. Just for the laugh.

[genobreaker]

it will be good if country have a military power

[Nighthawk]

Then there's West and East Germany, East being under the Iron Curtain, West not. Other IC Countries were Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and as DaEm0NuL says, Czechoslovakia, so they would all be Soviet (except W Germany of course)

Argentina has never been Soviet, nor should it be in RA2...?!

[Nighthawk]

Yet look at the (now dead) mod YR Argentina, the idea is still there...

EDIT: Ireland... Soviet, you insult me!

I know. But it's sure as heck not an Allied-ish side. I had to put it somewhere Plus most of South America seems anti-American (and rightly so)...besides, I'd expect the Soviets, if they're pushing up through Mexico, to try and rally the support of the South American areas such as Argentina to back me up.

EDIT: Ireland... Soviet, you insult me!

Lol...Ireland was actually rather close to a Communist revolution not so long ago, IIRC. I wouldn't really classify the Irish Republic as Allied. You live in the Northern half. You count as Great Britain


Going by the usual Soviet country choices, its either dead 'communist' nations, or nations bereft with trouble and strife (Iraq, Libya). Argentina and Ireland both fit into the latter category.

Argentina isn't really South American...it is more European in culture. I think Brazil and Venezuela are better canidates for this...their recently installed far leftist regimes support this.
I know this might sound offensive but it is true; Ireland is predominately Catholic and generally Catholics are extremely opposed to communism. Ireland is too conservative to be a peddler in Soviet ideology.
For Soviet countries...I think a better definition would be countries that are either communist (Russia), staunchly anti-Western (Libya) or a rogue regime (Burma).

I think Argentina better suits Soviet than Allies, not because of their likelyhood of accepting soviet idealisms, but because I think they'd be against America (hear hear, oops; contrivestial) and UK (Fauklands). Thats 2/5 allies, and no grudges against soviet, no? Again, just my opinion...

[lefthand]

Well, US gunboat diplomacy shouldn't be the reason alone.
You could say the same about France...which is an Allied nation according to Red Alert.

[Major_Gilbear]

Argentina is/has been many things, but never Communist. Capitalist, Fascist, Dictatorship, etc, yes. But not Communist. I think if threatened by the Soviets, they'd side with the Allies.
Hell, even in the Falklands war, their equipment was purchased from Nato countries, not Warsaw Pact nations!

I know, no one requested this but someone mentioned something about re-editting the design for the loading screen and I want to point out that it is being worked on.



That being said, I have finished China, Vietnam and Laos on the regular loading screen. With flags.

I'm just awe stunned

I'm just awe stunned

Couldn't have put it better

[Ash]

That's a great loading map...but isn't Libya soviet?

Nevertheless, it looks freakin' AWESOME.

[BobingAbout]

if it comes in a DIY kit form, such as all the maps and blank BGs and bits, I'll consider using it.

[genobreaker]

Translvania would be good for yuri

[Az3r^]

very very nice

Here's an idea for a new country: Chile, [real life] they've just elected a new socialist leader [/real life], [game] possibilities for Soviet country here. [/game]
