Well no, just like in the real Cold war, Albion has as much manpower as I do. More now.
I'm not going to get into a discussion of which real-world bloc had more deployable conventional assets in Europe in 19XX, but here's how things are looking in this game right now:
---<<< Loyalist Bloc >>>---
--- Max Units ---
France: 25
Albion: 31
Iceland: 3
S. Europe: 11
TOTAL: 70
--- Current Units ---
France: 16 (19?)
Albion: 20
Iceland: 3
S. Europe: 8
TOTAL: 47
--- Current Armies ---
France: 12 (15?)
Albion: 12
Iceland: 2
S. Europe: 7
TOTAL: 33
--- Current Fleets ---
France: 4
Albion: 8
Iceland: 1
S. Europe: 1
TOTAL: 14
---<<< Rebel Bloc >>>---
--- Max Units ---
Spain: 3
Prussia: 12
Ottomans: 22
Russia: 13
TOTAL: 50
--- Current Units ---
Spain: 2
Prussia: 10
Ottomans: 19 (20?)
Russia: 12
TOTAL: 43
--- Current Armies ---
Spain: 2
Prussia: 10
Ottomans: 17 (18?)
Russia: 11
TOTAL: 40
--- Current Fleets ---
Spain: 0
Prussia: 0
Ottomans: 2
Russia: 1
TOTAL: 3
As you can see, I'm thinking of the entire Loyalist vs. Rebel conflict, not just Albion vs. Russia. Despite the recent setback, the Rebels are only slightly behind in total units and have a significant lead in armies. Since the Rebel players have not moved yet, their actual numerical advantage in ground combat is bigger than these numbers reveal.
While I was compiling these numbers, I discovered two discrepancies between the map and the stat table as posted by Sheb. Every time I count the
French units, I get
12 armies and 4 fleets, but in the table they are listed as having
19 units total. For the
Ottomans, I only count
17 armies and 2 fleets, but the table says that they have
20 units total. Where are the errors? On the map, in the table or in my head?
NOTE: I have edited this post, including the numbers, several times. An incomplete version was posted by mistake, so I had to write the rest in a hurry. Sorry about that.
