Well there you go then. My point is made that there doesn't need to be any real changes to canon for the outcome to be exactly the same - a balance of opposing forces, both beaten down into little more than a scorched and ash covered shadow of their prewar power.
There's simply no need to justify a US navy being stronger than it is in the books, as quite simply, that seriously unstablises the game world to the point of absurbity. Sure, those who are interested can play about with what ships were activated when, and how they reached their final watery graves, but the outcome must remain the same to keep the
balance.
The same principle applies to ground and air forces. Make any significant changes and it's no longer T2K but something entirely different.
