Talk:Isiran Civil War (1983: Doomsday)

Plans for the War
Okay, as discussed with Imp and Guns in the chat, I don't want this war to be a boring old civil uprising ending in a new dictatorship like it's so common in Africa. I want for this war to go full-out universal African bush war on everyone. Therefore, I'm going to write down the sides of the war over here.

On the side of the Isiran legitimists will be  itself, as well as the  ; The main leaders on these side will be obviously Isiro, as well as Busoga, , and such. Maybe  ,   and rookies might also help in the war.

On the side of the Rebels, DPI will first get aid from , which will spread the revolt out of Isiro and into the Great Lakes region. After Kivu will come   and co. (the whole EABC), as well as the EABC's semi-permeable layer, the People's Republic of Uganda.

People who I'm not sure on what side should join are   and  the Rwandan Federation (my future proposal for a Rwanda-Uganda union), due to their strategic location; if Rwanda joins I'd assume Burundi would as well.

If Imp/Guns agree, we're spreading it even beyond, hopefully pulling Zaire and Co. into the war, as well as the Angolan mess.

I own Zaire, and I'm adopting Katanga and Cabinda, as well as the CAR. We can pull them in too- ooh, and Sudan?

What you "want" and what is plausible are not the same thing.

There is a reason why it is common - or, in your words, "boring" and "old." Because it is the result that happens more or less every time.

The concept of such a thing expanding on this scale is ludicrous. You are talking about a revolt against a regime that is unquestionably a dictator spreading into a massive, general war.

Not only that, but this dictator is in a small, isolated area from these other powers. Most of whom are at least somewhat democratic, and would have no reason whatsoever for involvement. Or ability to do so, for that matter.

Not one of them, aside maybe Kivu, have any reason at all to even supply the rebels. Even for Kivu the rationale would be slim.

And, to preempt: I don't see any way that a Rwanda-Uganda union would make sense.

In short, however: anything beyond a "boring, old" replacement wouldn't be plausible.
