You could have the 'options for change' that happened during the early-1990s be a restructuring to make the army more flexible and more able to deal with a wide variety of threats and not just the Soviet Union... This is what i did in my alternate T2k campaign that had a slow build up to the nuclear exchanges. Especially with what the British media refer to as the new series of 'troubles' happening around the Globe. There was something i had written about each of the brush fire wars happening, and the names for each of the conflicts used by the British Media (that would be picked up by American Media as well).
The media would name these brush fire wars such as The <name> Conflict, the <name> Confrontation, the <name> Troubles and the <name> Emergency.
Of course my idea for the Twilight War is a little different, inspired a little by World in Conflict and First Edition Twilight 2000.. but set in the early 21st Century (namely NOW) where the Soviet Union & Warsaw Pact didn't fall, but where they adopted 'state capitalism' to save their collective bacon.
Havana Pact (Central & South America)
Beijing Pact (Asia & Pacific Rim)
Baghdad Pact (Middle East & Northern Africa)
Congo Pact (Central, Eastern and Southern Africa)
Any advice on naming some of these forces would be appreciated.
The Fifth UK Army located in Africa was going to be named the British Army of the Nile. But i wasn't sure they'd name it that since most of their operations has one Corps fighting in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Sudan.. and a second Corps is fighting in Southern African. And I need to figure out where the Fourth UK Army would be deployed.. I had thought of them fighting in the Asia/Pacific Rim theater with the bulk of the units assigned being from the Commonwealth nations.
