Just noticed something else Greyblades, you took out Afghanistan from my list of countries, does that mean it is unplayable?

Somalia wants to state that we've got your oil.

[Greyblades]

^ Huh, I thought they got their oil from the middle east, Texas and Venesuala.
@The flax: No just a typo, I'm going to look up afganistan's status in 1980 before I put it back up there though.

[Greyblades]

I looked it up, Afghanistan was invaded by Russia in 1979 so I would guess that you cant play Afghanistan unless you want to be an occupied nation with no military until 1989 or at least until you are liberated.

[TheFlax]

Afghanistan was occupied by the USSR in 1980, but they really didn't control the country at all. Russian troops mainly held the big cities and got bogged down in asymmetric warfare with various guerrilla factions.

In my mind it would be playable, but not as a standard country. Basically a player could control the opposition forces in the country and make appeals to other countries for help. Anyhow, its sort of moot since I'd much rather play Pakistan.

[Greyblades]

Technically its not moot seeing as it is a 50/50 chance between you and White eyes... So do you want heads or tails?

Heads. And if I lose, then we can flip for Turkey. If I lose that, then I might consider Afghanistan. Still moot for me since Saudi Arabia (3rd pick) is uncontested.

Now, you better flip that coin in my favor mister.

[Greyblades]

Ok then *Flips 20p coin* heads. You get it, White eyes if you would be so kind as to request another country. Theres a couple of countries where the americans and russians have installed missile silos if you want.

Now I have to find a way to see who gets the USSR, somehow I doubt that a coin will cut it..
