    What, no Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" Also, just about anything by AC/DC, And yeah, I would also include "Russians" by Sting, "Bloody Sunday" by U2, and Asia's "Voice of America" and "Soul Survivor"

    Alternate History World War III: 1988, aka "The War of '88"

    Yeah, what they're finding the Russians kept in reserve armories is unreal. Mountains of captured 98ks, rumors of equally large mountains of MG-42s, Maxims, and that's just the small arms. I'm not saying you'll see T-26s out there, you won't, but don't be surprised if they do call up the...

    Second Second Trace's comments here. The then PM of NZ in 1987 was the same guy who split off NZ from the ANZUS treaty. Worse, its only two years removed from the Rainbow Warrior incident. So, how does one resolve this? The Governor-General pays a visit to the PM late on night in oh, say...

    Technical In one of those "does it really say that" moments in history...Austria has some quixotic arms limitations imposed by the victorious Allied powers that prevent it from having any form of "guided missiles". Yes, I am serious. This only changed in 1993, when in RL, the Yugoslav AF...
