But no, we live hundreds of miles away, so I'm fairly sure that won't be needed. I can't really see any scenario in the immediate future where Muscovy could free the resources to try the Winter War again.

Don't know for how long, yet: The minimum is apparently just under six months, but most who want to get to do about a year. I hope he'll belong to those (and why not another six months or a year, or however long the ROC might be, on top). [Edit:] BTW, I'm pretty sure it's not called the Red Army anymore. Not called that, even though in practice it seems to be much the same. [/Edit] -- Christian R.
