Actually, Swat, your troop counts are skewed so that they minimalize my army. When Caprica's pop of 6 mill had 35% military, they had over 2 mill troops. I've got 6.5 mill with 40% military. That, aided by the fact that last time I called on the barbarians, I rounded up a good million soldiers, and now I've got the backing of the far side tribes as well.
None of you protested it when we were at war last time, so you'll be hypocrites if you do now.
Riddler may have been a terrible general, leader, &c. but Stalin was probably worse, he was using the WW I strategy of "Throw men at it." During WW II. Russia could afford to loose the men though, and they did.
