About raising commitment:
After changing your commitment level, you will have a cooldown of two turns before changing again.
Let's say you change in the 2nd half of '55, you'll have to wait until early '57 to change again.
Since we're past two turns since the beginning of the RP, players can change commitment without consequence unless stated otherwise in events.
Just clarifying if it was unclear.

*Expects 500,000 'Murican boots-on-the-ground* Even better than that... I'm sending major armed forces, not just mere soldiers. (500k instantly deployed overseas is way unrealistic anyway, but this definitely still works!) And as for the dirty commies, y'all be sorry come 1956 you ever teamed up against the Great Bringers of Freedom to the World (aka 'Murica 😎)!! |

The South Vietnamese Army for one is excited to see new equipment come to it courtesy of our new BFF called 'Murica! |

Europyrealm ? Santa Anna ? I don't mind a slower pace, but I do like to be informed if you have any issues.

Europyrealm ? Santa Anna ? I don't mind a slower pace, but I do like to be informed if you have any issues. I really appreciate your concern. To be honest, this is utterly overwhelming for me because I don’t know names, places, and other things as well as yall do. My knowledge of world wars and stuff is like D- or F instead of A or B. I don’t think I would perform that well in this RP-style game.  I just don’t want to ruin the fun of this wonderful game. You have a right to BAN me.  |

Don't worry about not knowing the time period very well. My knowledge of North Vietnam before this RP was nonexistent, and I'm still getting by alright (and I'm sure the same applies for the others). A few minutes on Google will give you enough information to make a turn in any game like this without any issues. It gets harder when things go differently from real life, but use some imagination and you'll be fine. |

I will give it try. It's cool to not know things!!! Even cooler if you decide to stay and look up those things. Honestly, I had no idea what Nghe Anh and Thanh Loa were when the players first mentioned it. I looked at Google Maps and went, "ooh, border provinces." Don't stress yourself with knowing every person, date, and place. Only knowing the what sets you up well for most situations. |

It happened to me as well in the start of the game when Vo Nguyen Giap invaded Laos and I was confused because "Who is this guy and why is he invading Laos?" It later turned out to be a communist invasion and from there I started looking up about the whole war Europyrealm need not to worry, it'll take sometime but once you get the hang of the game, things can get crazy! |

I realized that I hadn't finished the remaining part. I'll need maybe 12-15 more hours, tpc. My apologies for being the last one. |

Europyrealm I was reading your turn and found out a detail that I think needs to be addressed. You mentioned that the Chinese flew P-3 planes and landed in NYC. However, the biggest problem is that the aircraft only got into testing and development in 1958, and entered into actual military service in 1962. How come did the Chinese get their hands on a plane in 1955 that isn't even developed back then, let alone being in actual military service?

It is pretty laughable to bust my mistakes for good! It is ever cooler! I suppose I didn't take a enough time googling the accurate period for Chinese aircraft. May a hint approaches its presence? |

May a hint approaches its presence? I think sending a spy plane would be anachronistic for China in this time period. I don't think China is technologically advanced enough to have them. Instead of spy planes, you can use agents or informants, or try to tap hostile communications. |

Increasing commitment to War requires an incident as
cassus belli - think Tonkin Gulf and the like. A roll is needed for this.
USSR didn't have a CB to raise levels or even rolled a die. Nevermind...
Er and... seperately to Santa Anna... All the military hardware being received from the USSR and PRC is integrated into the armed forces without a hitch. I have to call you out a little on that. The basic premise of the Vietnam War between the NV and Americans were that we were trying to bomb them down to dust what was an agrarian society of primitive farmers, thus commie propaganda, yay. I know they definitely didn't have prior knowledge of modern military before they were being trained by the Chinese, etc... and it takes A LOT to build up a brand-new branch of military, not just the hardware and individuals' knowledge of using them, but also organizational responsibilities, like who is supposed to be handling the supplies? The crisis that may appear? And who is responsible to repair the machines, then who is responsible to provide for those who are repairing in turn? Etc etc. So it's more than just the equipment and training a person to use that equipment. No offense, but "integrated into the armed forces without a hitch" is a bit dubious. Making it work (if at all) is going to take some major work to be done and some luck (meaning a roll to help things along, I suppose?). |
