A Soviet Question

[Kaiser Bill]

A list of soviet leaders has been put forward, I was just wondering what their nationality will be. I guess that Tsarist Russia will remain Russia after the civil war breaks out, and another nation will be formed, presumably the soviet union. Is that correct, or is there another label we will be using?

On that note, is the three letter code for leader nationality SOV acceptable?

Finally, what will happen to the generals of the old country? Can they be randomly split between the two nations, or is that beyond the scope of the modder?

How were French leaders divided into Free French and Vichy?

Maybe something like that?

The nationality tags RUS and SOV both exist in basic HoI (RUS is for a Fascist Russia under Vlasov).

Technically, the Communists took over Russia after the October Revolution (Nov '17) but the Civil War didn't break out until the following summer.

there should be an event (kinda like the stalin purges) that will allow the player/computer to choose if he wishes to kill certain commanders that are "unloyal" or something.

I agree, and I feel it should be a but on the random side. The player should not know in 1914 which of his generals will be loyal in 1917-18, otherwise he might concentrate on them.
