[QUOTE="jezter6, post: 401780, member: 6567"] It's a little further into the future than your game would call for, but check out Command and Conquer (the video game)...especially the Red Alert series. The game's pretense is that during the cold war each side (us/ussr) invented tons of futuristic combat tools and now are going to war with each other. Now, for historical stuff to keep the soviet union alive: 1. WWII ended as did in real life, but the soviet military and parts of the soviet province (Lithuania to Moscow) is pretty much in ruins due to the war. Not only are they angry that a few of the most beautiful cities in the world (St Petersburg, Moscow) are destroyed, they are forced to move the Capital to Vladivostok. Having the capital on a port city suddenly changes the union's military ideals. The soviet navy becomes one of the strongest in the world. Their submarines are unparalleled, and they have great warships that rival US battleships. 2. Like the guy above said...the war in desert storm devastates the oil supply in the gulf, and baghdad is destroyed. Udai Hussein (Saddam's oldest son) flees to Kazhakstan and unites Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Kazhakstan againt the US. 3. NATO gets involved in the Cechnya dispute and russia goes back to cold war era hatred of the US and it's allies. Nobody is sure if Pakistan still has the bomb. The UN can't get in to investigate. The soviets (using mass resources from Siberia) start mass producing tanks for Pakistan and China for a tidy profit. That's all I have for now. Any more help you need, I'll be glad to help. [/QUOTE]
