ARTICLE 235.
In order to enable the Allied and Associated Powers to proceed at once to the restoration of their industrial and economic life, pending the full determination of their claims, Germany shall pay in such installments and in such manner (whether in gold, commodities, ships, securities or otherwise) as the Reparation Commission may fix, during 1919, 1920 and the first four months Of 1921 , the equivalent of 20,000,000,000 gold marks.

In addition the italians later obtained Pillau and Strassburg and renamed them Bari and Taranto, does Italy retain these ships in the wesworld? I also can't seem to find the list of names of actual ships in the german navy.

My understanding from the "New Player" thread was that destroyer size was capped at 1500 tons. I thought we had also resolved the fate of all significant German units at that time.

Knowing nothing about the Baltic or North Sea, do motor torpedo boats have the range and sturdiness necessary to cross over and bother Nordmark?

The other part may simply reflect the different approach to risk management. Is a moderately armed, economically solid, neutral Germany less or more of a risk than a poorly armed, economically ruined, and hostile Germany? Russia seems to be more comfortable with the former; Nordmark appears to prefer the latter.
Quoted
I think that it is uncharacteristic of Russia to advocate that Germany is fully relieved of paying reparations

and Nordmark would never agree

I'm guessing that Germany and Russia's separate peace agreement in 1917 could well have been much more favorable to the Russians.

I am just not sure how aware people of the idea goodwill might actually help contain Germany better than suppression

what Nordmark would want to see regard fast attack craft is as follows. There should be a numerical cap on torpedoboats, which are defined as torpedocarrying vessels other than capital ships, cruisers, and destroyers - tentatively set the limit that there shall be no more torpedoboats than the maximum number of destroyers. There should also be a tonnage-limit - in historical VT this is set at 200 tons - setting it at 250-300 tons should be suitable here. Other vessels should not be permitted torpedoes nor a speed higher than 20 knots. No vessel should be fitted for, or be prepared to be fitted for, minelaying. That would be Nordmark's position on these specific matters in the hammering out of the VT.

When it comes to Atlantian involvement in WW1 most is in Turkey with some fighting in France, but what about Italy, Nordmark and the SAE? I'm guessing that Italy would be as Historical while the SAE may perhaps also be involved in Turkey and the ME as well as Africa, while Nordmark would likely consintrate on germany and Possibly Austria/Hungary or Belgium/France?

It is likely that Nordmark was significantly involved on the Eastern Front, mainly in the Baltic area - perhaps with as much as a whole field-army of two-three corps. Of course, if Russia went to early peace, that would leave said field-army in something of a pickle, though I suspect this would be intertwined with the eventual independence of the Baltic states. Just what sort of a relationship between Russian and Nordmark would be the result is unclear to me - on the one hand, Nordmark would be havily involved on Russia's side, while on the other, the Russian peace would result in resentment from Nordmark towards Russia for leaving the Nordmark army out to dry, while Baltic independence resulting from Nordmark contribution likely would annoy Russia.

I can accept a universal ban on mine-laying equipment if the rest of what I posted is given a thumbs-up.
