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

    If time travel was an option Sabaton just dropped this one Which if the Soviet axis of advance it could apply to the Netherlands, Denmark, non NATO members like Taiwan, parts or all of Japan, Hong Kong (depending on China's choices), Kuwait, or even the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, perhaps Israel...

    Can we have Sabaton time travel with Devil Dogs, 82nd all the way, War to end all wars, Ghost Division, the Unkillable Soldier, Soldier of Heaven, Lion from the North (have to have some Norwegian Commandos vs Soviet spec ops action somewhere right?). also an actual song from the time frame Mike...

    Keep writing Tiamat! You think Tom Clancy was worried if "Red Storm Rising" was too close to reality? Heck the old insurance Salesman would of been proud at how close he and his actuality tables got it! Keep Writing and if you had some insight and/or precognition so much the better! Thank you!

    Tiamat, in the midst of high political/ethnic/economic tensions I am sure that the religious one is at most a 'side show' :) I am certain that the Shia, Sunni and Kurds will be happy with the status quo ante and that no upheavals will occur. No one will try to unite the 'faithful' against the...

    speaking of logistics, the funny thing is in 1941 all this could of been avoid- NO LEND LEASE to the Soviet Union, not a shot need be fired, just take away their trucks, trains and grain. No rapid advance after Stalingrad, no Orel offensive after Kursk, just let the two leftist ideologies of...

    Poles have a long history of fighting lost causes, some that didn't turn out to be so lost (Vienna battle of Wizna ) The Soviets play with the sprit of Poland at their own peril! Can't wait for the next chapter Tiamat!!!!

    is pragmatic and mostly true, the overtly paranoid in me prefers: "The Enemy of my Enemy may not be my Enemy today, but they will surely be my foe if not in the morning then by the next day!" US/UK lend-lease to the Soviet Union showed this in spades! If we had only kept those supplies and...

    I think on the Naval scale of this Aegis Cruisers and Destroyers can both direct battle-space and fire at the enemy... As an old 11M I minored in navy...

    so how does the SA80 compare to the Chauchat (know it's a low standard, but does it raise above it?), thank you!

    Soviets don't know US history, the Civil War taught use that it is much better to expend things then people (having a Government that gave a damn about people help too). Where as Soviet friendly fire causalities would be seen as a 'cost' of doing business, NATO and the US in particular it's an...

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

    Not sure if I would want to be filling out my navy with 'rocket ships', even though the missiles themselves are tested, CIWS should be ok as point defense, but this concept has 'Q Ship' written all over it. If I am a Soviet sub driver, CG/BCNG/CVLGN group commander they would be my first...

    Be careful of who you target, you go all out and you end up with a very ready to 'launch' secretary of interior or education who reads off their cards and does just what you thought you would prevent. Reagan was joking when he stated the 'Bombers' were on the way in 30 minutes (paraphrasing...

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

    Reagan being a free-market Capitalist and having endured world war II, along with the 'tiny' budgets' of smaller allies why doesn't he suggest a lend-lease program, have all those old tanks, aircraft and ships that can be rapidly refitted or at least made serviceable 'lease-able' to the lesser...

    The Bio-weapons project strikes me as "Chernobyl" level "Soviet", in that facts don't matter, what happens don't matter, just keep 'gunning' for the party and world socialism damn logic and the cost. The US equipment strikes me as getting M4A3E8s when you really want are M26s, and M36s. Yeah...

    Soldiers (service members as a general term) tend to hate war much more then the politicians that send them to Charnel houses. Most I have meet are of the opinion that deterrence is a Great thing, but seeking war for anything less then when it is NEEDED is a waste and could lead to situations...

    Tiamat, seems you are going all in for 'balance' between NATO and PACT equipment, though I haven't seen the key equipment (avionics, targeting, range-finding, night/thermal imaging) that would still likely have NATO coming out on top! Great PACT update though, Thank you!

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

    You know one other factor that could be put into play at least with Mexico, Nicaragua and maybe Cuba is Pope John Paul II. The old Stalin quote of "how many Divisions has the Pope" could come into play as the smart Catholic retort is "as many as the faithful can provide." JP II could deliver a...
