to quote a great man “I reject your reality and substitute it for my own.”

Here I spin I was thinking about

1. The Twilight War starts and happens as per Red Storm Rising including the truce at the end with Poland is split into east and west half

2. The war also sees the Soviet make a drive into Iran as per Sword Point.

3. A group of Soviet Hardlinng manage to seal a small nuclear device and lunch at the USSR from Turkey, Thinking this is a attck the Soviet begin lanching weapon aimed NATO and the US

4. Moments after the Soviet attack is launched, the president of the United States receives a teleprinter message from the Soviet leader, informing him of the response as well as discovery that the first missile was launched by renegades. He says the USSR is willing to absorb a proportionate U.S. counterstrike that would kill between six and nine million people though the Soviets will retaliate for any larger counterattack, making all-out nuclear exchange likely. To further add to the turmoil, China launches its own strike against the Soviets in accordance with a treaty with the United States.

5. The national Command Authoirty then tells the president the Soviets have launched a second attack, seemingly confirming that the Soviet Union was being untruthful. As Marine One prepares to evacuate the President from the White House, the Emergency War Orders officer receives a teleprinter message informing him that the second nuclear strike was directed at the Chinese, not the U.S. However, while Marine One is en route to Dover Air Force Base, another nuclear burst downs the helicopter.

6. With the president, vice president and senior constitutional successors assumed dead, the Secretary of the Interior, found near Baton Rouge, is installed as president in accordance with the order of succession.

7. The oringal US President then broadcast a stand message form a FEMA shelter in Maryland (I think this sets a MIL and CIV Gov very nicely)

This section is as per Dawn's Early Light

8. The condtion of the US is a long the lines of War Day

9. Canada has taken Alaska, and Mexcio Controls part of Texas Arzonia and NM, with two weak Federal Governments many State Goverments are in total control ( Still have EMP Strikes, Nuclear fall out and a huge amount of people trying to survie)

10. US Forces in Europe primary in Polnad along a DMZ but the Eight Ball adventure would still be in play (See Eastern European Source book)
